The remote Himalayan village of Kyanjin Gompa is located in the Langtang Valley within the Langtang National Park region, part of the Himalayas near the Tibetan border, at an altitude over 3,800 meters high. It is nestled between the mountains Tsegro Ri, Kyanjin Ri, Langtang Lirung, Yubra Himal, Ganesh Himal, Gangchhempo Peak, Yala, and Nayakang in addition to glaciers, rivers, and lakes. Overlooking the settlement is Langtang Lirung, a peak in the Langtang Himal range with its highest point at an elevation of 7,234 meters - 23,734 feet. Langtang Lirung is the 99th tallest mountain in the world, first summited in 1978. On April 25, 2015, a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake triggered an avalanche and landslide in Langtang village, directly killing 243 people and obliterating the village. Langtang National Park is a popular trekking destination for both foreign trekkers and locals. The village's inhabitants are predominantly Tamang Tibetan or Lama Tamang, with origins from Tibet. The village offers tea houses, hotels, lodges, huts, a bakery, a monastery, and a cheese factory. Access to Kyanjin Gompa is only possible on foot, requiring a multi-day trek from the nearest road and town. Locals work with tourists but also with agriculture, farming potatoes or having yaks.
