Langtang Valley Trek takes you to the mystical nature nestled with the cultural enrichment in a short duration of time. Located in the northern part of Nepal bordering Tibet, Langtang Valley is one of the most accessible tourist destinations in Nepal. Though the trail is merely discovered by many travelers, it is one of the most rewarding trekking routes of Nepal. From eye-dazzling sceneries, bushes walk, glaciers, and exposure to lifestyle and culture, it has it all.

Our Journey

The trek is initiated after a scenic drive up to the traditional village, Syabrubesi. Syabrubesi is the gateway to any treks to the Langtang Region of Nepal. It is a village inhabited by various ethnic groups like Tamang, Sherpa, and Gurung; mostly influenced by the Tibetan lifestyle and culture. Then onwards, walking thru bushes and alongside the river, enjoying the picturesque sceneries of the cascading hills, snow-clad peaks, and the blooming of Rhododendron forest as well as several other species of vegetations, we will crawl our way to Kyanjing Gompa which is the last settlement along the trail and our ultimate destination.

Langtang National Park

Meanwhile, we will be blessed to take a closer look at the protected herbs, vegetation, and wildlife and birds in the Langtang National Park. The national park was a restricted area prior to the 19th due to the security threats from the bordering countries. And to enhance the preservation of endangered species, it is a protected area that is allowed to visit only with a special permit from the Government of Nepal.

Lifestyle and Culture

Besides, the remote and rural lowland settlements and the authentic lifestyle of the locals are the major attractions of this trek. Ancient and historical monasteries, prayer flags, and other Buddhist cultures representing arts and monuments will rejoice you during the tiring uphill and downhill climbs. In a short duration of time, you can explore all these and reach the highlands.

Eligibility and Best-time for Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang Valley Trek can be embarked upon by anyone of any age and profession. With a moderate difficulty trail, it can be favourable for people without previous trekking experience as well. Nevertheless, it is always recommended to have proper health check-ups and to be in proper physical and mental fitness. Langtang Valley Trek can be organized anytime around the year but for the best experience of trekking and exploring, the months of Spring and Autumn and highly preferred.

Nepal Mountain Trekkers heartily welcome everyone to visit Nepal and go for Langtang Valley Trek to undergo a remarkable trekking experience in your holiday time.

Langtang Valley Trek Review

Langtang Valley Trek-- Incredible experience!

This is the third trek I've done with Nepal Mountain Trekkers and it was absolutely incredible, as always. Everyone at the trekking company is organized, friendly, and professional. Suman organized the trip for me and was my guide. He's the absolute best. Not only did he figure out how we could do a 7 day trek in 4 days, he also was great company during the trek! He's so knowledgeable about all of the treks and mountains in Nepal. He's easy going and fun to be around!

Spirit of Himalaya in one trekking ????

Before we arrived in Nepal i already oriented on what we would want and didnt want in a trek. I wrote down some companies to visit when in Kathmandu but then i met Suman ( his trekking company was at the the hotel where we stayed and not on my initial list) and I took a leap of trust and didnt look further : i let him arrange our trek. And am i glad i did:

‘We’ are are a mother and her ten year old son, so we had specific wishes (‘low and slow’) and we needed a guide and a porter with a lot of patience.

Suman listened well to our wishes , went to work and teamed us up with a guide which couldnt have been better for us: TB is friendly, professional, safety oriented . I am a physician myself and i found his level of preparedness impressive.

I think his greatest asset however was psychological: he sees exactly what each person needs (or doesnt need).

We took a 16 day trek, first Tamang , then Lantang. In all those days i not once saw TB impatient, and he kept looking out for our welfare. He didnt push when that would be the easy thing to do, but he checked what would be the best for us. He stepped into some guesthouses kitchen to help them out if that would mean a step up in hygiene. He adjusted the itinerary seamlessly when it became clear that my slow really meant slow. He put a new meaning to the word relaxed when we were to say ‘a bit quirky’. He coached my ten year old from a complete non-sporty to a more self reliant pre teen. He waited when we lagged. He even laughed at our silly jokes.

We could not have gotten a better guide for our trek and i would highly, highly recommend TB for your trek.

We had a great porter Mingmar who hauled our bag , filled our bottles, checked the rooms to make sure we didnt forget ( we sound a bit like complete morons now, mingmar was so super service minded not to mention speedy: he often brought our bag to the next point and then came back to see if he needed to do something else to make our trekking life easier)

All-in-all the team of Nepal Mountain Trekkers took us under their wings, and took extremely good care of us, while we were having a complete blast. This team is highly recommended.

Life changing experience

Stayed in Nepal for 6 weeks trecking the EBC and the Langtang Valley. Everything was organised perfectly with great daily planning, I was never worried about anything. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to trek in Nepal.
