Overview of Langtang Valley Trek
Langtang
Valley Trekking is one of the most pleasant trekking experiences in Nepal. It is a beautiful
hike through small village settlements, farmland, and green forests in the
Langtang valley. You hike along the untouched landscape and through high yak
pastures to the splendor of the Kyanjin Gompa. In addition to the beautiful views,
you have the opportunity to meet the Himalayan pheasant and the red panda on a
walk through the Langtang valley.
The Langtang
Valley Trek starts after a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi by private
jeep. Your trek through the Langtang Valley initially takes you on a quiet
ascent, while overlooking the majestic Langtang mountain range. Later we follow
the old trade route on the border with Tibet.
Throughout
the Trek, you'll experience the hospitality and culture of the local Tamang and
Sherpa people. You can also explore the old Kyanjin Gompa monastery in Tserko
Ri. The spectacular views of Dorje Lakpa and Langtang Ri leave you breathless
on this.
Important note
Your safety
is of paramount importance when travelling with us. Please note that your
trekking guide is authorized to change or cancel part of the itinerary if this
is considered necessary for safety reasons. Every effort is made to adhere to
the above plan. However, since this trip involves a remote mountainous area, we
cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. Weather conditions, the
health of a group member, unexpected natural disasters, etc. can contribute to
changes in the itinerary. The leader will try to ensure that the trip goes
according to plan, but is ready to be flexible if necessary.
Welcome to Kathmandu, Nepal. When you arrive at Kathmandu Airport, our airport representative welcomes you warmly and helps you to get to the hotel by private vehicle. After check-in at your hotel, we will also host the briefing session about your trekking tour in Nepal, the equipment, and the composition of the team. Afterwards, you can rest or take a walk to explore the vibrant surroundings at your leisure.
Today, after breakfast, you begin the city tour through Kathmandu to the most historical and spiritual sights of Kathmandu. We provide you with a private vehicle with a professional guide. Attractions that you will visit include the World Heritage Sites of Kathmandu Durbar Square, the holy Hindu temple of Pashupati Nath, the famous "monkey temple" (Swayambhu Nath) and the Buddhist shrine (Bouddha Nath) then back to the hotel
After breakfast early in the morning, drive along the hills in northwest Kathmandu. Enjoy the view of the Himalayas and the lifestyle of the mountains through terraced fields and rustic villages. You will have Lunch in the Trishuli Bazar before continuing to Dhunche. We descend from Dhunche to Syabrubesi and spend the night here.
Today we start our first day of trekking. When you leave Syabru Besi, go through Langtang Khola. The trail follows Ghoda Tabela and will be covered with beautiful rhododendrons and oaks. After the ascent to a valley, you continuously switch between ascent and descent. You will find several tea shops where you can have lunch or buy other groceries. Then cross a small bridge and finally climb a steep hill and reach the Hotel Lama. After your arrival, you will have dinner and spend the night in a Lodge.
Today's destination is the Langtang village, a gorgeous valley. You will wake up at the Lama Hotel and walk parallel to the Langtang River. You cross 3000 meters when you reach Ghoda Tabela, where you can have lunch and rest and enjoy the green pastures and the view of the Langtang Mountains. After that, ascend for a while to reach the yak grasslands. From here you climb a steep hill for about 4 hours to reach the village of Langtang, inhabited by Tamang and the Tibetan Buddhist Sherpa.
After having breakfast, we walk for Kyangjin Gompa, a main monastery in the region. We pass water mills, prayer wheels, and choirs with sacred rocky hills with inscriptions. Also, visit the most giant mani wall in Nepal, which is made of stone with prayers. The prayers on the mani wall should be blown away by the wind. After a short walk, you will spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the Buddhist shrine and its surrounding area with a magnificent view of the mountains.
After having tea and breakfast in the morning, we leave the village, cross the yak meadows and start visiting Tserko Ri (5000 m) to enjoy the view of the mountains at sunrise. Since then, we've been high; we could begin to feel the thin air. In the afternoon you return to Kanjin Gompa, surrounded by the Himalayas. We can take a walk through Kanjin Gompa and enjoy the view, glaciers, waterfalls, birds, and yaks.
In the early morning, after having breakfast, back to Hotel Lama. Since it is mostly downhill, it is a 6to7 hour walk from Kanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel.

Langtang Valley Trek Accommodation
During your
trekking in Nepal, accommodation is straightforward and offers limited options,
so don't expect the Luxuries as your home. We use a simple family-run guest
house or a tea house Lodge. If available, we offer a private double or twin
room with a shared bathroom. There will not always be access to a hot shower.
Depending on height and location, accommodations typically incur additional
costs for a bucket of warm water, which you can mix with cold water for
washing.
During Your
trek, you can expect to get mainly continental and local meals ordered from the
menus. Most of the tea houses offer Nepalese, Tibetan, Chinese, and even Indian
and Italian dishes. We offer three meals a day with tea or coffee. The food on
the trek is usually vegetarian, and the staples are rice, vegetable curries,
lentil soup, pasta, bread, potatoes, Momo, French fries, etc. Dessert is not
including in the package.
There are
fewer varieties in higher places near mountain base camps than in lower areas.
Whenever possible, we try to offer you fresh vegetables from the village and
fresh fruit. You can choose the food as you like, but it is better not to order
different dishes for each person since it takes a long time to cook so many meals,
especially during lunch. You can buy bottled water in the mountains, but we
recommend that you bring water purifiers such as iodine and avoid bottled
water. Water bottles are the primary source of pollution in the mountains. If you trek at high altitude like Everest base
camp, Drinking alcohol can increase the possibility of altitude sickness, so don't
drink alcohol until you come back to a lower elevation.

Essential Information
Trekking guides and other staff
arrangements
The most
important thing that makes this trip pleasant and unforgettable are the
experienced, polite, and helpful guides and crew members who can easily spend your
days in the mountains. The best and most professional leaders lead our journey.
All our employees are carefully selected based on conscious experience,
leadership skills, and personal talent. To support local communities, we employ
only local people who have sufficient knowledge of the culture, ecosystem,
flora, fauna, geography, and history of their local regions.
Travel insurance
Travel
insurance for every itinerary of our company is a prerequisite for booking a
vacation. You must have at least emergency and repatriation insurance, which
must include the cost of mountain rescue. Read the terms of your insurers
carefully, especially make sure that the following is covered: 1) activity
(i.e., tourism, trekking or mountaineering) 2) maximum altitude reached on the
trek 3) evacuation of the helicopter for the case of an emergency. You must
understand that you are ultimately responsible for all costs associated with
evacuation and return procedures and that it is your responsibility to bear the
costs of evacuations or medical treatment. You should be fully aware of the
effects of organizing your travel insurance and understand the limitations and
exclusions of your policy. Please note that under certain circumstances, our
company leader can initiate helicopter rescue (or other necessary means) in
medical emergencies without first asking your insurance company for approval.
Climate and best season for hiking
The spring
and autumn season is considered the best time for the Langtang valley trek, as
the climate and temperature are calm and constant in these seasons. The spring
months offer the blooming of rhododendrons and many seasonal flowers. Fall is
also one of the best times to explore and enjoy various Nepalese festivals like
Dashain and Tihar.
Winter and
summer are less suitable compared to spring and autumn. In winter, the
temperature level drops below freezing, making walking to higher regions less
pleasant. The days are cold, followed by episodes of snowfall and blizzards.
Summer also comes with heavy rains and unpredictable weather. With the right
gears, however, you can walk to the Langtang region all year round.
Physical condition and experience
requirements
Langtang
Valley Trek is a moderate trek suitable for passionate hikers who can walk
around 5-7 hours a day with a light backpack. Walking at higher altitudes is
more physically demanding than walking at lower altitudes; however, if you are
in excellent health with an average physical condition and have a positive
attitude, self-confidence, and strong determination, you can achieve this trip
successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for a few weeks before the trip
is an excellent idea to improve your strength and stability. Past hiking
experience would be a bonus, but technical skills are not required for this
trip. It is vital that participants with pre-existing medical conditions, such
as heart, lung, and blood diseases, consult your physician before travel. It is
also recommended that you inform us of your medical condition before booking
the trek.
Suggested preparation
Cardiovascular exercises, including running, biking, jogging, push-ups,
and pull-ups, for approximately 4-5 days a week for three months before your
trip is beneficial.
You should also participate in the development of core strength and
muscular endurance in weight training.
Walking on the hills in different weather conditions will be proper
preparation for this trip.
If
you have access, kayaking and swimming can be a very beneficial way to develop
the strength and endurance necessary for this journey.
Langtang Valley trek is measured at a reasonable level of difficulty, so a good level of fitness is required to complete this trail as
long as you are in good physical shape and healthy, you can go on this trek. We
have a flexible route with enough acclimatization and days off before heading
to a higher altitude.
