Langsisa Ri used to be a full expedition peak until the Government of Nepal put it under the control of the NMA in 2002. It is situated in the popular Langtang trekking region and is a technically challenging peak being perhaps one of the most difficult of the trekking peaks after Kusum Kanguru. Langsisa Ri is ideal for those who want a Himalayan expedition-style challenge with a very simple, affordable permit system. Langtang also has the advantage of quick access from Kathmandu with plenty of small peaks to explore and acclimatize on.
