Trekking in the wild of some of the most beautiful t rails in the world. No holiday could be better than this.

Langtang valley trekking is one of the most popular trekking routes in the Langtang region. Langtang is a narrow valley bordering to Tibet but still far away from the Tibetan Plateau. A trek to the Langtang valley is a great opportunity to explore villages, climb small peaks & view naturally beautiful landscapes.

The Valley itself is very beautiful, surrounded by the great Himalayan range. You can, if you wish, climb Tserko (4984m) and go up towards Yala Peak (5500m) getting spectacular views of the Langtang Glacier.

The highest peak in this area is Shisapangma or Gosaithan 8027m in Tibet. The course from the Langtang valley to Gosainkund is embraced with diverse natural beauty. The Langtang valley is also known as the ''treasure house'' of Alpine plants. The whole valley is carpeted with an array of beautiful flowers during the summer, a specter that should never be missed. This high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious customs, language and dress are similar to that of the Tibetans.



Langtang Valley Trekking Details : Here is your Itinerary



It is fantastic flying into Kathmandu on a day with clear blue skies. The views of snow-capped mountain peaks spread down below you are almost rapturous, & begins a whole sequence of memorable experiences that stay with you for a real long time. An escort from our office will meet you at the airport and reach you to your hotel. Our representative will help you check into your designated hotel. At the hotel you will be oriented about your daily activities. This is your first overnight in the valley of the gods.

Kathmandu is the cultural heart of Nepal and has been a popular destination for tourists ever since Nepal allowed visitors into its borders. The city presents a wonderful combination of Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism and Western influence in the Valley. Patan and Bhaktapur, its two prime neighboring cities bear immense historical, cultural and religious significances. There will be a half day guided tour to the famous and biggest Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal Boudhanath, the 15th century Palace of 55 windows and Swoyambhunath

We go on a guided tour of Bungamati, Khokana & Dakshinkali temple. These are wonderful outdoor excursions that give you deep insights into the lifestyles & culture of the newari people who live in & out of the valley of Kathmandu. Overnight at your hotel.

You must depart early for the nine hours drive to your starting point at the foot of the Langtang Valley. The road takes a scenic route, climbing high over the ridges to escape the Kathmandu Valley and provides you with a superb panorama of the Himalaya, including the Annapurnas, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and the peaks of the Langtang region that you will soon get familiar with. Stay overnight at a lodge.

We trek from Syabru Gaon to Lama Hotel (2470m.) this takes about five hours. The trail descends along the ridge on Syabru's main street and then drops to the Ghopche Khola (2050 m.) and again descends to the landslide (1810m.). From then onwards, your trek ascends gently to Rimche (2400m.) through Bamboo (1960m.) and at the end you travel through level path to the Lama Hotel. En route, you may get lucky and spot red pandas, and monkeys in their natural habitat. Stay overnight at a lodge.

Trek from Lama Hotel to Langtang village (3430m.) via Ghore Tabela which takes about six hours. At Ghora Tabela [3000m], the trail emerges from the forest. While hiking here, you can catch a glimpse of white monkeys and local birds. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer months. A quiet monastery is found around here which we can visit shortly before arriving at the village of Langtang, the headquarters of the Langtang National Park. Stay overnight at your lodge.

Trek from Langtang Village to Kyangjin (3870m.) this takes about three hours. The trail climbs gradually through small villages and yak pastures as the valley opens out further and the views become more wide-ranging. After crossing several small streams and moraines, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyangjin. We should arrive at Kyangjin by lunch time allowing some time to acclimatize and explore the area. It is a fantastic setting, with snow- covered peaks surrounding us in all directions. At this point, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Dorje Larpa (6990m.), Langtang Ri (6370m.) and Langtang Lirung (7245m.) Stay overnight at a lodge.

Trek and climb up to Tserko Ri (5033m.) and trek back to Kyangjin Gompa which takes about seven hours. You trek through steep trail all the way to the top. You can see Himalayan pheasants, Himalayan deer and outstanding views of surrounding peaks and mountains. From Tserko Ri, you are quite fascinated by the panoramic views of Sisapangma, Langshisa Ri, NayaKang, Yala peak, Langtang Lirung and many others. Stay overnight at a lodge.

At Ghora Tabela [3000m], the trail emerges from the forest. While hiking here, you can catch a glimpse of white monkeys and local birds. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer months. The trail begins from the forest to a Tibetan settlement. Once there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepalese army post though it has no permanent inhabitants. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer months.

Thereafter, your trek ascends gently to Rimche (2400m.) through Bamboo (1960m.) which lies at the bank of Langtang Khola. You can have lunch at this place if you like. En-route, you can see red pandas, monkeys and bears if you are lucky. Stay over night at a tea house lodge.

After morning breakfast at Bamboo, we trek down to Syabru & enjoy the Himalayan views and mountainous lifestyle through the terraced fields and rustic villages. We can take Lunch at the Trishuli Bazaar before continuing further to Kathmandu.

Drive from Syabru Besi to Kathmandu by bus, which takes about nine hours. You drive through scenic foothills and ridgeline vistas to Kathmandu. At eventide, we proceed to a well known Nepali kitchen for some tasty Nepalese cuisine; and as we enjoy our meals, we will be entertained by a thrilling cultural dance performed by the local belles in the area. This will be an interesting occasion. Over night at your hotel in Kathmandu

You can just simply chill out on this day & then go for some shopping down the dazzling streets of thamel, an internationally known hub for tourists from all over the world. You can also buy some post cards to send home. Overnight at your hotel

'I will personally take you to the airport for your flight home. (Or stay longer for short tours such as game drive at National parks, do some wild-water rafting, a Tibet tour or even mountain biking, etc - please don't hesitate to let us know). We would be glad to help you. Thank you for doing this venture with ME & it's been wonderful knowing you over the weeks. Please do stay in touch in the months ahead. Bon Voyage & take care!!! SUBINDRA''

Please note: this is a moderate trek that can be done with family & kids if they are over 10 years of age. Residing in the lodges is basic & clean for teahouse lodges at such altitudes. Enjoy the spirit of adventure as you bunk out in these lodges. Camping also is an option but it could be pretty expensive in comparison to staying in lodges. Most trekkers prefer to bunk out in lodges. Make sure you hike out in this area with cameras loaded with film because the landscapes are considered to be some of the best in the world. Just come across & do the trek, enjoy something you've never experienced before
