Overview

Visitors to Nepal should not miss the Langtang Valley Trek because this Himalayan trek provides accessibility combined with breathtaking views of mountains and cultural exploration through diverse geological features. 

The Langtang region positions itself north of Kathmandu while it combines the Tamang heritage with Buddhist monasteries and holds rare wildlife species inside the Langtang National Park including red pandas as well as Himalayan black bears and snow leopards.

The trek begins at Syabrubesi (1,550m) a village that can be reached through a 7 to 8-hour drive from Kathmandu. The hiking trail slowly climbs upwards through forests, streams and yak grazing areas to reach the final settlement on this route, Langtang Village (3,430m) and then Kyanjin Gompa (3,870m). Apart from Buddhist stupas and a yak cheese factory trekkers can enjoy observing the stunning views from Kyanjin Ri (4,773m) and Tserko Ri (5,000m).

The trek offers both novices and experienced trekkers the opportunity to participate. A proper walking day requires 5 to 7 hours with a gradual increase in elevation. Trekkers will find better availability and affordable pricing along with domestic flight-free options in the Langtang compared to Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit. 

Travelers who want a concentrated Himalayan adventure within a short timespan should choose the Langtang Valley Trek as a particular destination.
