Langtang Valley Trekking

Langtang Valley Trek offers a majestic view of mountains with panoramic landscapes. It is the top 3 most visited trekking destinations in Nepal alongside Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

 

Basically, this trek is exciting with picturesque views of the beautiful village that lies within the Langtang National Park. Langtang is the best vacation spot for regular and novice trekkers, and I am sure it will be your unforgettable lifetime experience.

 

Langtang Valley is a hidden gem with a wild rural landscape, and most of the people follow the Tibetan Culture. Moreover, in a peak season, you can get spectacular views of pine forest, rhododendron, snow-capped mountains, magnificent glaciers, etc.

 

The Langtang valley trek was long a favored area for hiking and ranked only behind Everest and Annapurna in terms of popularity. The tragic 2015 earthquake had a devastating economic effect on the community, with many forced to leave, yet in the intervening years many have come back, the tea houses have been rebuilt anew, and life has slowly returned to something resembling the past, though tourism to the area has yet to approach earlier figures.

 

Visitors choosing to make the journey will thus not only be able to avail themselves of one of Nepal’s most beautiful treks in the same manner as before, but can help support the wonderfully welcome and hospitable Tamang people of Langtang Valley as they attempt to rebuild their livelihoods in the wake of the earthquake.

We start our scenic drive after an early morning breakfast, traveling by local bus out of the valley and along the picturesque highway that heads north The beautiful scenery along the way includes rivers, terraced fields, villages and sights of the snowy mountains on clear days. The initial section of the drive is relatively pleasant to Trishuli Bazaar. The road then becomes a bit more rugged as it ascends to Dhunche and dropping back down to Syabrubensi, a bazaar town with much to explore including a riverside hot springs.

From Syabrubensi, we begin our first day on the trail. The route crosses the BhoteKosi and Langtang River and follows pleasantly up the rushing Langtang River through fertile jungle and terraced fields. We pass through rural settlements and bamboo and birch groves where we have a chance to spot rare, local wildlife including the red panda. The trail gradually rises to reach Lama Hotel.

 

Day 05: Trek to Langtang Village (3,430m)

Today we continue alongside the river through lush landscape as we ascend upward through dense forests. Along the way, we will occasionally see the snowy peaks ahead, calling us onward. Eventually the narrow river valley widens out at GhoraTabela. In this area, there was once a Tibetan resettlement project running, and currently, Ghora Tabela has an army check post that will register our permits. We continue past prayer wheels driven by flowing water and prayer flags to scenic Langtang, a large settlement of mostly Tamang people with a nearby monastery.

 

Day 06: Trek to Kyangjin Gompa (3,865m)

We continue our gradual ascent as we pass through small villages and meadows. The wide valley offers far-reaching panoramas. The route crosses several tributaries and a glacial moraine and then finally we arrive at the last and highest communityof our journey, a place known as Kyangjin Gompa named for the nearby, ancient monastery of KyangjinGompa. After lunch at our lodge, we have the option of an afternoon climb to KyajoRi, a spectacular viewpoint above to the direct north of the settlement.

 

Day 07: Exploration Day at Kyangjin Gompa (3,865m)

The upper Langtang Valley offers much to explore for trekkers. The high elevation landscape is broad and affords many views and opportunities to approach the mountains and associated glaciers more closely. There is much to see and do as we enjoy a day of exploration of the area. Beyond the requisite visits to the monastery and cheese factory, we have optional hikes to Langshisa Kharka and the viewpoint of Tserko Ri (5450)for trekkers feeling more than a little ambitious.We return to Kyangin Gompa for the evening.

 

Day 08: Trek back to Lama Hotel (2500 m)

From Kyangjin Gomba, we say goodbye to the upper highlands and begin back down and out the valley. We retrace the arrival route through Langtang Village and break for lunch at Ghora Tabela where the army check post registers our exit. After the leisurely lunch we continue down through the dense forests of the river valley to Lama Hotel.

 

Day 09: Trek to Syabrubensi (1,420 m)

We have reached our final day on the trekking trail. Today we make a pleasant hike along the Langtang River as we head down the beautiful valley.

We strongly recommend the purchase of travel cancellation insurance to protect you from the unexpected. You aren’t likely to think of it now, but people do get ill, break a bone, have a family emergency or get assigned to a last minute business trip. If you are in remote areas, please note that emergency rescue & evacuation can be very expensive.

 

We also strongly urge you to consider rescue and evacuation insurance if your own policy does not provide the coverage need­ed. Services available may include, but are not limited to, helicopter evacuation, medical care, etc.

 

If you choose not to purchase insurance, you assume full responsibility.
