Langtang Valley Trekking in Nepal

Upon arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, you will receive a warm welcome from our office representative. Once airport formalities are completed, you will be escorted to your hotel. After checking in and enjoying some refreshments, our senior guide will meet with you to give a brief introduction to the Langtang Valley Trek.

Then, you will have the opportunity to have dinner, explore the surrounding areas, and then retire for the night.

After an early breakfast, we embark on a local jeep drive from Kathmandu, starting the seven to eight-hour journey to Syabru Besi. The trip itself offers numerous picturesque sights. Syabru Besi holds significant importance as a village town and serves as a bustling trading post for the local residents. People from the entire Langtang area visit this marketplace to procure essential goods, making it a central business hub connected to the capital, Kathmandu.

Throughout the drive, we will be treated to stunning panoramic views of the Himalayas, including the Annapurna, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal ranges, along with the renowned peaks of the Langtang region.

Our overnight stay will be at a lodge in Syabru Besi.

After waking up in Syabrubesi, we'll enjoy a satisfying breakfast before embarking on our journey. We'll descend steeply alongside a small stream, which we cross using a suspension bridge. A significant part of today's trek will be spent following the pristine Langtang river.

Our path through oak, rhododendron, and bamboo forests promises to be enchanting, as these lush environments are teeming with wildlife, including red pandas, yellow-throated martens, wild boars, and a multitude of langur monkeys. The forests also provide habitat for Himalayan black bears, although encountering a red panda would be an exceptionally rare stroke of luck.

As evening falls, we arrive at Lama hotel, where we will spend the night.

After having breakfast at Lama Hotel, we will depart early in the morning to continue our ascent above the Langtang Khola. The trail will become increasingly steep as we progress. It will lead to a log bridge, and further upward climbing will bring us to the lush meadows of Ghora Tabela, situated at an altitude of 3000 meters, where we will stop for lunch.

Along the way, we will pass several lodges and a police checkpoint. Continuing on, the trail will open up into a broad valley featuring yak pastures and scattered Tamang villages with water-driven mills and prayer wheels.

Upon reaching an altitude of 3500 meters and crossing a stream, we will finally arrive at the Langtang valley, which serves as the administrative center for Langtang National Park. This area will be characterized by Tibetan-style homes with flat roofs, hotels, and agricultural lands. Numerous memorials honoring those who lost their lives in the avalanche caused by the 2015 Nepal Earthquake will be found

Today, upon waking up, we will journey along a gentle path on the side of a hill, passing a large mani on our way to a well-known Chorten and then through a small village with stone-built homes. As we descend into a lower level of the riverbed, the valley will change its shape to become U-shaped.

The distance we cover on foot today will be relatively low, allowing us more time to acclimate to the altitude and explore our surroundings. This region is renowned for its cheese and curd, and a cheese factory can be found right in the midst of it all.

Immediately after crossing the suspension bridge, the trail will treat you to a breathtaking view of the glacier known as Langtang Lirung. Many novice mountaineers use this glacier as a training ground before attempting more challenging peaks. Upon reaching Kyanjin Gompa, we will have lunch, visit a local bakery, and then explore a factory where fresh Yak Cheese is being made. There is palpable evidence of Tibetan culture and heritage in this part of the world. We will choose to spend the night at Kyanjin Gumba.

Today will be a day of rest and acclimatization to the new environment. We will have the chance to explore various captivating locations, including a cheese factory and a nearby monastery. Additionally, we will have the option to ascend Tserko Ri, positioned at an altitude of 5,000 meters, providing breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountains that are beautifully spread out nearby.

As we journey towards Tserko Ri, we will pause to enjoy a packed lunch and visit the spot where Guru Rinpoche left his footprint.

Following the river crossing, we will continue our ascent along a steep trail, marveling at the stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including Langtang Peak, Ganjala Peak, Ganchenpo Peak, Nayakhang Peak, and Langtang Valley. Upon reaching the peak, we will be rewarded with the most spectacular views in all directions of the Himalayas, including Sisapangba in Tibet, as well as Langsisa and Dorje Lakpa in Nepal.

After enjoying a well-deserved rest and a satisfying breakfast, we commence our return journey to the Lama Hotel. The descent retraces the same path as our ascent. The occasional sight of Yaks butting heads along the route adds an exciting and memorable element to the experience. As we near the valleys, the trail becomes noticeably less challenging. Upon reaching the Lama Hotel, we opt to spend the night there and explore the surrounding areas.

Following a delicious hot breakfast, we bid farewell to the mountains and cstart our descent back to Syabru Bensi, the starting point of our journey a week ago. We will spend the night at our guesthouse there.

After savoring a satisfying breakfast at our own relaxed pace, we dismantle our camp and get ready to travel to Kathmandu, where the comforts of our hotel, including a luxurious and comfortable bed, await us.

We enjoy a peaceful night at our hotel in a comfortable bed.

After breakfast on our last day in Kathmandu, our vehicle and guides will be ready to take you to the international airport three hours prior to your scheduled departure. As we wish you a safe journey back home, we will fondly reminisce about the fantastic moments we've had together. Bon Voyage! We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you back to Glorious Himalaya once again in the near future.
