Langtang Valley Trekking is a popular short trek route situated in the heart of Langtang National Park, Nepal's first Himalayan National Park, established in 1976. This trek is relatively short, easy, and captivating, making it suitable for adventure enthusiasts of all levels, from beginners to seasoned travelers. In addition to trekking, it offers opportunities for hiking and climbing peaks beyond Kynjing Gompa. The Langtang Valley trek is the third most popular trekking region in Nepal, after Everest and Annapurna, known for its stunning landscapes and breathtaking mountain views. Often referred to as the 'Valley of Glaciers Treks,' this route passes through lush forests of pine, rhododendron, and oak, serene mountain streams, green slopes, and rugged terrain, all against the backdrop of snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Located just 19 miles from Kathmandu, this trek allows visitors to witness the beauty of towering mountains and glaciers. The park is rich in alpine vegetation, including fir, hemlock, chir, and maple, and is home to various wildlife species such as the red panda, snow leopard, Himalayan Tahr, and Musk deer. The Langtang Valley Trek can be completed in about a week, starting from Syabrubeshi and passing through villages like Lama Hotel, Ghodatabela, Langtang Valley, and Kyanjing Gompa. For those interested in hiking to Kyanjing Ri (4700m) and Tserko Ri (5033m), a day hike is sufficient, while climbing Yala Peak requires additional arrangements and extra days. After Kyanjing, trekkers can explore other parts of the region like Gosaikunda, and Tamang Heritage Trail, or return to Kathmandu.

Itinerary

Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, we’ll meet you and receive you outside the airport terminal. Following the exchange of warm greetings, you’ll be escorted to your hotel. In your hotel room, you can provide much-needed rest to your jet-lagged body and utilize the amenities provided by your hotel. At the end of the day, you can explore the splendid marketplace of Thamel. Its wonderful atmosphere, overfilled with distinctive colours and fragrance, will surely assist your body to re-energize. You'll also be invited to our office for a pre-trip meeting, where you’ll also meet your trekking guide.

Early in the morning, we’ll drive along the riverside of the Trishuli River via a private vehicle. Accompanied by the scenery of foothills and ridgelines, this thrilling but scenic drive will gradually take you across the settlements of Trishuli Bazaar, Betrawati and Dhunche, ultimately to the village of Syabrubesi (1,550m). Along the way, you will observe a spell-binding panorama embracing Mt. Annapurna II (7,937m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Ganesh Himal (7,422m) and other neighbouring snow-clad peaks complemented by beautiful countryside comprising green hillocks, rivers, terraced farmlands and rustic villages.

Today, we will begin our trekking venture. We’ll pursue the trail that traverses Bhote Koshi River via suspension bridge then advances along the Langtang Khola. Afterwards, the trail progresses through the landslide area, then makes its ascent past woodland covered by blue pine, oak, fir and massive spruce to Ramche (2,400m), a settlement positioned on the bank of Langtang Khola. During the course of this journey, we can spot a variety of wildlife such as Langur monkeys, red pandas, Himalayan black bears, and yellow-throated martens. At last, the trail leads us to Lama Hotel (2,380m)

Continuing our trek above the Langtang Khola, we climb uphill on the trail that shortly becomes precipitous and proceeds beyond the woodland of rhododendron, oak and maple. En route, we can catch a mesmerizing glance of Langtang Lirung towering at 7,246m asl. Thereafter, we forge ahead across a log bridge and then ascend far off pursuing the trekking trail to the thriving grassland of Ghora Tabela (2,992m). From this point onwards, the trail slowly ascends to the setting where the valley spreads out in the form of lush pastureland particularly used to graze yaks. Past this terrain, we move further along the trail and progress up through rhododendron vegetation and Tamang settlements. Subsequently, making our way over the spouting stream; we push forward by the prayer wheels and mills powered by the force of flowing water to set our foot in Langtang (3,430m). The beautiful village of Langtang features flat-roofed Tibetan-style houses and farmlands of wheat, turnips, buckwheat, and barley fenced with stone walls.

This day, we follow the windy trail that proceeds uphill to the top of a ridge, highlighting a giant Chorten. Now, the trekking trail leads the way beyond the colossal Mani wall and a spurting stream to Mundu Village (3442m). Succeeding its headway across multiple wooden cantilever bridges over several small streams, the trail finally arrives at Kyangjin Gompa (3,870m). As the name suggests, this place is celebrated for Kyangjin Gompa, an elegant monastery. In addition, this place is also home to a government-run cheese manufacturing facility. You can explore this facility and get a taste of cheese and curd made from Yak milk. A wander around this outlandish land delivers 3600 views of mountains, including Langtang Lirung (7,246m), Tsergo RI (5,000m), Ganja La (5,160m), Dorje Lhakpa (6,430m), Yala Peak (5,500m), Langshisa Ri (6,427 m), and Naya Kang (5,844m).

This very day is entirely dedicated to acclimatization and exploration of the surrounding area. As a thinner atmosphere with low levels of oxygen is found at higher elevations, it is necessary for us to acclimatize to the surroundings properly so that we don’t become victims of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Also, it is a fact to be noted that we can speed up the process of acclimatization via short hikes. So, we hike to Tserko Ri (5,000m), the highest point of our entire trek. The ascent utilizes about 4-5 hours, depending on your physical fitness. Adorned with prayer flags, the apex of this peak bestows the sublime panorama of the whole Langtang Valley, along with the snowy peaks of Dorje Lakpa and Shisha Pangma to the east, Langtang to the west, and Yala Peak to the north. Moreover, you can also clearly spot the Ganja La Pass.

With a few glimpses of alluring mountain vistas, we trek downhill on the same trail along the Langtang Khola, back to Langtang village, and then to Ghora Tabela. From here, we make a descent further past the village of Ramche and arrive at the Lama Hotel (2,380m) in the end.

Through the lush greenery, we continue our descent with the enchanting vistas of mountaintops and green hills by our side. At last, we make it to Syabrubesi (1,550m). As we take our time to return, we can acquire a better understanding of the ethnic Tamang culture and their traditional lifestyle on our way back to our today’s destination.

Bidding our final farewells to the fascinating valley of Langtang and its good-natured residents, we drive back to Kathmandu via a private vehicle. This ground journey on the rugged path along the ferocious river Trishuli takes about 7-8 hours, depending on traffic conditions. En route, we can enjoy the view of aesthetic landscapes comprising native settlements, pristine streams, terraced hills and snow-covered peaks as a backdrop. Once in Kathmandu, you can visit the landmark sites that are yet to be explored. Also, you can do some souvenir shopping for your family or loved ones.

Day Tenth is the last day of your stay in Nepal. We hope that you are well pleased with our service and expertise, and we expect to meet you again during your next travel venture. To ensure you won’t encounter. One of our representatives will guide you to Kathmandu Airport, 3 hours prior to your scheduled flight back home. Bon Voyage!!
