The Langtang Valley Trek is one of the most stunning and convenient treks in Nepal. From spectacular mountain scenery, to the rich culture of the Tibetan people, this 8 days trek offers the best experience of beautiful villages, alpine meadows, glacial areas, forests, and traditional villages in Langtang National Park.
The Langtang Valley Trek is perfect for both beginners and seasoned trekkers. On the way you will enjoy warm local hospitality, admire the ancient monasteries, enjoy spectacular views of snow capped Himalayan peaks and see the amazing recovery of Langtang region after the 2015 earthquake.
The trek begins at Syabrubesi (1,503 m) then gradually heads up to Kyanjin Gompa (3,865 m), and provides sufficient acclimatization time for non trekkers. If you want to see 360 views from the top, then there are optional places like Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m) and Tserko Ri (4,984 m). From these points, you can see the breathtaking Langtang and Kimshung glaciers, as well as the trekking peaks Lesi Langtang (7227m), Dorje Lakpa (6966m), Gang Chhenpo (6388m), Naya Kanga (5844m) and Langshisa Ri (6427m).
Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our airport representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Kathmandu. After checking in, you'll have time to relax after your journey or explore the vibrant streets of Thamel. In the evening, meet your trekking guide for a comprehensive briefing about the Langtang Trek, including the trekking route, altitude safety, weather conditions, equipment check, and final preparations for the adventure ahead
Today is dedicated to preparing for your Himalayan adventure. After breakfast, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of Kathmandu's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple). Later, return to Thamel to purchase or rent any remaining trekking gear. Your guide will conduct a final equipment inspection and answer any questions before the trek begins.
This is the first day of our trekking and our journey begins from Kathmandu(Buspark). We leave Kathmandu early in the morning and drive to the north, following the Trishhuli rivers for 6 to 7 hours. The road is not easy to travel. After hours of driving we will finally reach a small town called Dhunche and have lunch and take some time to rest. From Dhunche, we will continue our journey until we reach Syabrubesi, where we spend the night before setting off on the trek the next day.
On this day we start our actual trek .After having breakfast we begin our journey from Syabrubesi to the forested trails of Langtang National Park. The trail passes by Langtang river along with Bhotekoshi. We will see a dense bamboo jungle, oak and rhododendron trees on the way. If you are lucky you might see the rarest animal red panda on the trail.
We go through small villages such as Bamboo where most trekkers stay for lunch and a short rest. The path steepens from bamboo and the journey becomes quite strenuous.After finishing the uphill, we will arrive at Lama Hotel(2470ml where we stay overnight.
After having breakfast, we begin our trek. The trail today gently emerges from the deep woods with the sounds of rivers and birds. On clear days you might see the snowy peaks and mountains. After some time we reached Ghoda Tabela (3,030m) .There are some lodges here, as well as the army check post. After that we will pass through the small Chyamki village (3230m) and walk past Chortens, water mills, mani walls, and prayer wheels which give typical village vibes. We will continue our journey to Langtang valley. Before that we will cross the old langtang valley which was destroyed by the 2015 earthquake. And this day we will stay in Langtang valley for the night enjoying the local foods and culture.
This is the shortest trek day of your journey. Today you will see interesting watermills and yak pastures as well as the great view of the mountains. We will reach Kyanjin Gompa (3,830m / 12,565 ft). at lunchtime and take some rest and freshen up to chill out or explore the Kyanjin area. Kyanjin Gompa is the last settlement of the trek. This village is surrounded by majestic Himalayan peaks,and is incredibly peaceful, offering breathtaking views of Langtang Lirung. For the night we will stay in a cozy hotel experiencing Tibetan culture and foods.
Today, you have the option of hiking toward Langtang Lirung base camp, or take another steep hike to Tserko Ri (4984m) or walk along the Langtang River toward the Langshisha Kharka or Langtang Glacier. And for those who want to do short hikes we have Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m) from where you can see panoramic mountain views. It takes 2 to 3 hours to reach Kyanjin viewpoint from the Kyanjin Gompa. If the weather is clear the view from there is breathtaking. And talking about of Tserko Ri it will take 3 to 4 hours to reach Tserko Ri from Kyanjin Gompa and the trail is a bit challenging due to altitude and hike must start very early in the morning around 3-4am to get the best view of sunrise. Only a few trekkers can make it to Tserko Ri. From both viewpoints you will see unforgettable vistas of Langtang Lirung (7,227 m), Langtang II (6,586 m), Yala Peak, Dorje Lakpa, langtang glaciers, and other Himalayan ranges. After an adventurous day of exploration and photography, we returned to Kyanjin Gompa to relax and overnight stay and prepare for the next day of our journey.
After having breakfast we descend back down the same route as before. Once again we will cross the beautiful Langtang valley Village and Ghodatabela. The downhill trek is quicker than uphill but tough enough for the knees. After 6-7 hours of trek we will make our way through the high mountains, to the exhausted evening at Lama hotel. And we take some rest and have dinner in the Lama hotel and prepare for the next day's trek.
This is the official last trekking day. On this day we descend through forest trails, across bridges and small streams, as before. The air becomes heavier and warmer while descending. We will see the bamboo forest and beautiful mountain ranges from the trail. After walking for 6 to 7 hours we will finally reach Syabrubesi. And we will spend the rest of the evening relaxed, and having good food, and creating good memories.
This is the last day of our journey and today we return back to Kathmandu from Syaprubesi.
Following breakfast, we get ready and wait for the bus for Kathmandu. We go the same road, but at this time with different experiences. We start our trip with the views of mountains back to the city. Once we arrive in Kathmandu, we will drop you at your hotel with lots of beautiful memories.
After breakfast, depending on your flight schedule, our representative will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) for your onward journey. We recommend arriving at the airport at least three hours before your international flight.
As your unforgettable Langtang adventure comes to an end, you'll leave Nepal with incredible memories of breathtaking Snow caped landscapes,Tamang people, alongside smaller communities of Sherpas and Tibetan-origin groups.
