Overview of Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang valley trekking is one of the closest treks to Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. The trip takes you through the Langtang National Park which lies directly north of Kathmandu. Langtang Region is as lofty and remote as any of the Tibetan highlands, and its peaceful rural vistas will warm your heart despite its close proximity to Kathmandu. This region was once a prime route for trade and commerce with Tibet. The route map of Langtang valley trekking was introduced to the tourists only after 1976.

The Langtang region is now becoming as popular as the Everest Region & Annapurna Region of Nepal.

For those wishing to experience the joy of trekking the highlands in Nepal but are limited on time, the Langtang Valley Trek is just perfect! You will walk along the Langtang River, through beautiful Rhododendron forests, and to several glacial lakes. This will be an adventure you’ll remember for the rest of your life. This area is also called the Valley of Glaciers because it is surrounded by icy glaciers that came from the huge Himalayan peaks.

Langtang Valley is dominated by the Himalayan peaks of Langtang Lirung (7,234 m), Langtang Ri (7,205 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m) and Langshisa Ri (6,427 m). Tserko Ri, which is 4984m high, is the highest point on the trek. The beauty of this region is truly seen from Tserko Ri.

This trip is great because it gives you a chance to see the rare red Panda and has great views of the Langtang mountain ranges and valley. In addition to this, we also get to go to one of the Yak Cheese factories in the area, which sells real Yak cheese, and Kyanjing Gompa, an old Buddhist monastery with great views of Ganchenpo Ri, Langsisha Ri, and other mountains.

The people who reside in the Langtang region’s highlands are Nepalese, yet the majority of them have Tibetan ancestors. They even resemble Tibetans and have deep cultural and religious ties to Tibet. The different kinds of rhododendron, dense bamboo forests, dancing waterfalls, and close-up views of the snow-capped Himalayas are all great reasons to visit this area. All of these things make Trekking the lovely Langtang Valley one of the most different treks that are close to ancient Kathmandu.

Perfect Season for Langtang Valley Trekking

Langtang Valley can be visited at any time of year. However, the monsoon season is not ideal. The trail gets slippery and dangerous. The optimum time to visit and photograph this path is from February to May in the spring and September to November in the autumn. Autumn is the best time to go on a walk-in Langtang Valley. From September through mid-December, the weather is moderate and constant. Trekking at this time of year provides you with clear mountain vistas, fresh air, and gorgeous blue skies.

March to May is the second-finest trekking season for the Langtang Valley trek. The season’s long, warm days will suit your trip and make it even more memorable.

Summary of the Langtang Valley Trek Itinerary

Langtang Valley Trek begins in Syabrubesi, which is about seven hours from Kathmandu. From Suryabesi, we went to Langtang National Park to start our hike. Following the path of the Langtang river, and walking through beautiful green forests and villages, we get to Lama Hotel, where we stay for the night.

From Lama Hotel, we walk to Langtang village, where we can see Langtang Lirung in all its glory. In the meadows of this area, we can see horses, donkeys, Yaks, and other animals grazing. There are also camps set up by nomads in the area. In 2015, the entire Langtang village was buried by a landslide due to the earthquake. However, everything is back to normalcy. High-quality to basic standard lodging and restaurants are now functional.

The next day, we go to one of the Yak Cheese factories and an old Buddhist monastery called Kyanjing Gompa. This place has great views of Ganchenpo Ri, Langsisha Ri, and other mountains. This will be our home for two nights before we go on a day hike to Chortari Ri and Tserko Ri the next day to see the beautiful lakes, glaciers, and mountains of the Himalayas. From Tserko Ri, you can really see how beautiful this area is. We go on a day hike and then go back to Kyanjin Gompa.

In return, we go back to the Lama Hotel, where we stayed last time. You can learn more about the culture and traditions of the Tibetan-descended Tamang people. The views of the green hills here are beautiful. From the Lama hotel, we end our trip at Syabrubesi. The trail back offers a new view of the valley and the national park, which will be a great addition to your photo collection. We are picked up by jeep at Syabrubesi, and our Langtang Valley Trekking ends in Kathmandu.

How difficult is Langtang Valley Trek?

The trek through Langtang Valley is less strenuous than those to the base of Mount Everest, Mount Manaslu, and Annapurna. Kyanjin Gompa is the summit of this hike (3,870m). Day hikes to Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri, on the other hand, will take you to an altitude of about 5,000 meters.

The trail through the Langtang valley traverses through forests and stunning landscapes, beginning at the bank of the Langtang River. You’ll spend four to six hours walking every day and gain roughly 500 to 1000 meters in altitude. There is less distance to cover daily compared to other treks, making the hike less taxing on the body. Hiking experience is not necessary for this trip. However, if you want to enjoy your hike, it will help to have done some preparation or have previous hiking experience.

To sum up, a trek through the Langtang valley is not as challenging as some of Nepal’s other treks.

As we move down into a lower level of the riverbed, the valley changes its shape to become U-shaped. The distance we cover on foot today is relatively low, giving us more time to adjust to the altitude and investigate our surroundings. This region is well-known for its cheese and curd, and a cheese factory can be found right in the middle of it all.

Straight after making it across the suspension bridge, the trail will provide you with a breathtaking view of the glacier known as Langtang Lirung. Many mountaineers who are just starting out use this glacier as a training ground before they tackle more difficult peaks. At Kyanjin Gompa, after having lunch, we go to a local bakery and then to a factory where real Yak Cheese is being made fresh. There is clear evidence of Tibetan culture and ancestry in this part of the world. At Kyanjin Gumba, we decide to spend the night.

2) Where is Langtang valley located?

Langtang valley is 80 km away from the capital city of Nepal and it is located on the north side of Kathmandu. Langtang region is a Himalayan valley border with Tibet – an autonomous region of China. It lies in the Rasuwa district of the Bagmati Province in Nepal and it is also the nearest national park to Kathmandu valley.

Langtang valley consists of Langtang national park. The park is home to a broad range of climatic zones, including subtropical and alpine. A quarter of the park is surrounded by trees. The evergreen pine, the deciduous oak and maple, as well as several rhododendron species, are examples of the flora that are found here. More than 250 different bird species can be found in this region, along with the Himalayan black bear, Himalayan tahr, Assam macaque, snow leopard, yak, red panda, and much more.

3) How early should I book this trip?

Langtang valley trek is a mountain region hiking journey. You have to hike through gigantic hills, gorges, forests, rivers, and mountains. And, you need lots of preparation before the expedition. Therefore, we suggest you book this trek as much as early.

Last-hour booking is also acceptable. However, we recommended you book early so that you will have enough time for the preparation. At least 2-3 months early booking in advance is best for this trek. Within this period you will get enough information about pre-training and trekking equipment.
We will offer you the training plan if you reserve this trek early with us so that you are physically prepared before the journey.

4) Are there ATM service on this trail?

Limited ATM facility is available only in Dhunche and Syabrubesi. Further up, you won’t get ATM service. Most of the time in Dhunche and Syabrubesi ATMs do not work due to frequent power cuts. So, we suggest you manage cash before the trek in Kathmandu. You can exchange local currency at Thamel.

5) Is it possible to hike solo in this region?

There is no restriction or prohibition for the solo traveler. Therefore, hikers can trek solo in the Langtang valley. We all know that the weather and conditions in mountainous areas are erratic, and anything can happen at any time. Hence, we never advise travelers to go hiking alone. There are many missing solo hikers in this region since it is open for tourism. Hence, we strongly suggest travelers hike with a local guide or porter for their safety.

6) Possibility of internet, charging and hot shower facilities.

Langtang valley trek offers all these services at an additional cost.
Internet Service: Every teahouse has WIFI and they charge an extra cost of around NRS 200 – 400. From Lama Hotel to Kyanjin Gompa, the WIFI connection is not strong as in Kathmandu.

Charging facility: With each and every stop, you will get charging facilities with an additional charge. From the Lama hotel, tea houses have solar power and the price might be a bit higher than in the lower elevations. Charging cost ranges from NRS 150 to 300 per hour.

Hot shower: As like in the Everest and Annapurna regions, you can also get a hot shower facility on the Langtang valley trek. At Syabrubesi, local lodges provide running hot showers with attached bathrooms. Above the Syabrubesi, you will get a bucket hot shower at an extra cost. The price of the hot shower ranges from NRS 200 to 400 per shower.

If the weather is gloomy all day these services may not be available because in the mountain region power is generated by solar.

7) How fit do I have to be for the Langtang valley trek?

Langtang Valley Trek is a moderate trek that goes up to the 5000-meter altitude at Tserko Ri. But you will spend overnight at a height of 3,800 meters only. Relatively, this trek is easier than the other treks of Nepal such as Annapurna Base Camp and Everest Base Camp. Thus, you don’t need to be fit extremely. However, doing some training beforehand is much more beneficial for your enjoyment.

We suggest you prepare at least 8 weeks before your trip and do regular morning walks, join the gym, swim, climb upstairs, or do short hiking at least once or twice a week. On this trek, your porters will carry your belongings and you have to carry your personal items only.

 

8) How much money should I carry for extra expenses while on the trek?

If you book this trek on full board service, all your meals, transports, accommodations, permits, and manpower will be included. However, there are some extra expenses that you need to pay yourself while on the trek. Such as cold drinks, alcoholic drinks, and bakery items are not included in your package. Besides, uses of WIFI, hot shower, and battery charging are also not included.

Therefore, an additional 15-20 dollars per day is required for the extra expenses if you want to use these services. If you drink beers, bakery items, and cold drinks frequently, you might need more than the given price.

9) What sort of transports do I get on this trek?

Langtang valley region is linked with the Tibetan border therefore; the excess of land transport in this region is good enough. You can get local or private vehicles such as jeep, bus, van, etc for the transport direct from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. In our package, you will get public jeep transport from Kathmandu to Sybarubesi, and in return. Syabrubesi is the starting point of this trek. The flight option is not available on this trek.

Therefore, you only have the option to take a drive by private or public vehicles. For your comfort ride, you can hire private jeep transport instead of a local bus or jeep.

10) Do I need to be insured for this trek?

Trekking to Langtang Valley doesn’t require an insurance policy. However, we recommend you be insured before joining this trek for your financial protection in case of any emergencies. It is a moderate-level trek that goes through remote mountain terrain, rivers, and jungles. The excess of transport and hospitals are out of reach. In this region, the fastest option to get to the well-equipped hospital is by helicopter.

There is always a risk of natural calamities or health issues while traveling to the mountainous region. So, if you are fully insured all of your medication and helicopter rescue expenses will be covered by your insurance company.

11) What is the maximum elevation of this trek?

The maximum elevation of this trek is 5000 meters at Tserko Ri. Tserko is a viewpoint that offers exceptional views of the mountains and glaciers around. From Kyanjin Gompa, it takes 5 hours to reach the Tserko Ri viewpoint. We will pay our visit at this point on day 7 (rest day at Kyanjin Gompa).

12) What are the trekking gears do I need to have?

Trekking to the high mountain regions of Nepal isn’t easy as hiking into the European Alps. It requires lots of prior preparation. Most importantly, choosing the right trekking gear plays a vital role to make your trip pleasant. For your general ideas, you should have good hiking boots, thick clothes, headlights, crampons etc.

However, it is also based on the trekking season. If you trek in the winter season you must have crampons to tackle with the icy trails. If you trek in the monsoon season, it is advisable to carry a raincoat and waterproof hiking boots, etc. Please ask us through email for the proper trekking gear information once you book this trek with us.

13) What kind of foods and accommodations can I get on this trek?

On this trek, tea houses provide foods menu for visitors. If you booked a full board service with us, you will get 3 meals every day that includes Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner with tea or coffee at breakfast. Trekkers can find continental, Chinese and Indian as well as Nepalese dishes that are prepared at the tea houses along the trail.

You will be served porridge, muesli, boiled/fried egg, omelets, toast, pancakes, and soups along with tea or coffee for breakfast.
For Lunch and dinner, you can order pizza, fried rice, plain rice, fry potatoes, chowmein/spaghetti, pasta/macaroni, or momo. Instead of all these international dishes, you can order local Daal Bhaat for your lunch and even dinner. Daal Bhaat is the common food menu of every Nepalese for lunch and dinner.

Regarding the accommodations, twin-sharing common local lodge accommodations will be provided throughout this trek. In most of the places, you will get sharing toilets with other trekkers. Only at Syaburbesi, you will have an attached bathroom with a hot shower running from the tap.

14) Who will be my guide and porters?

You will be guided by our native local guide and supported by local porters. Your guides are well experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful and were born in the mountain region of Nepal. All our guides are fully trained and certified by the Nepal government. Each of our guides has led this trek more than 10 times with positive feedback from our previous clients.

Our guide speaks English well enough and takes care of you every step while on the trek. On this trek, your guide will take all of your responsibility such as accommodations, meals, transport permits, etc. And porters are the heroes of the mountain region trek that is behind the scenes. They transfer your belongings from one place to another destination safely throughout the trip for your comfort and pleasant hike. Thus, we would like to request all our guests to give respect to those heroes who make our trip successful.

 

15) Why should I book this trek with local company?

Nepal is a mountainous country, and most of its regions are remote. There is no access to roads, communications, or hospitals due to the isolated topography. Accordingly, the Langtang valley trek is also one of the high mountain region treks that go through remote Himalayan jungles, rivers, and glaciers.

Therefore, if you book this trek through a local trekking company, a local guide who is familiar with the path will accompany you and lead you securely to your goal. There are a lot of side paths on the trail that might take you the wrong way. And if you miss the proper path there is no prospect of electronic communication.

Even more, in case of any health issues or natural disasters, your guide will certainly take action and transfer you to a safe place. Moreover, if you got an accident or AMS problem, your guide will contact your agency and arrange for your immediate helicopter rescue to the Kathmandu hospital.

 

16) Where can I store my extra luggage in Kathmandu?

You can leave your unnecessary items (while on the trek) at the Kathmandu hotel without extra costs. All our hotel representatives in Kathmandu provide storage facilities to our international clients. If you have any important documents or belongings please inform us prior to the trek so that we can store them securely.

 

 

17) What happened if I get any health problem or other natural disaster while on this trek?

Don’t worry; you are with the right hand. We will do everything to save your life if there are any difficulties with you in the mountains.

Our native guides are well-trained and authorized by Nepal’s government. They are even trained in first aid medicine and they are eligible for medication in case of an emergency. If you have altitude sickness or any other health issues, you will be certainly taken to the nearby hospital if available. If there aren’t any health posts, you will be transferred to the low elevation as soon as possible.

Even more, if your health condition is getting worse your guide will contact our office in Kathmandu and ask for an emergency helicopter rescue. Then after, you will be transferred to the well-equipped hospital in Kathmandu for your further treatment. All these rescue and treatment expenses should be covered by your insurance policy.

In the case of a natural disaster, you will be taken to a safe place with the help of our guide and porters. If the trails are blocked due to natural calamities your guide will try to find the safest and alternative routes. However, if there isn’t any option to go further up or return back to Kathmandu, you will be rescued by helicopter and taken to Kathmandu. Your helicopter evacuation expenses should be covered by your insurance policy.
