The Langtang Valley trek offers picturesque landscapes, traditional villages, and unique cultures with the heartwarming hospitality of the native kind-hearted people.

The Langtang Valley trek is the most happening trekking route with the utmost miscellany in Nepal. The series of broadened valleys provide a tremendous array of feasible trekking routes as per the need.

The Langtang Region was nominated Nepal’s first Himalayan National Park in 1971 as it comprises the Himalayan feel with the habitation of the native Tamang people whose religion, culture, traditions, and norms are much more likely to those of Tibetans than of their cousins in the hills.

The Langtang Valley trek strolls along the fast-flowing Trisuli River, north of the capital of the country, Kathmandu. With a groovy bus drive rewarding with the enchanting beauty of the diversified flora and fauna, we make our way through the trail of the cascading waterfalls and dense forest along the way ultimately to the fluttering Trisuli Bazaar piloting us to the beautiful village of Dhunche and later Syabrubensi.

The locals of the region will please your heart with their broad-hearted warm hospitality with the motto; ‘Aathiti Devo Vawa’ which means that the guest is God.

Following the route of the Langtang Valley Trek, we reach Kyanjin Gompa(Monastery), a Buddhist Sanctuary preserving the tranquility of Buddhism. The Langtang Valley Trek acclimatizes at the Kyangin Gompa to sample the local yak cheese which is one of the best cheeses available in the whole wide world. We make our way via the Nubamatang, located in the hidden valley, of the gateway to Tibet.

Backtracking, we travel through Syabru and Sing Gompa, where the sanctified lake Gosainkund is located. The holy tranquility of the Gosaikunda Lake is believed to wash away all your sins and offer you a new life to do well and be good. Crossing the Laurebena pass, we continue south, leaving the Langtang region behind us as we travel through the Helambu Valley to Gul Bhanjyang. From here the Langtang Valley Trek comes to a halt with a few day’s journey back to Kathmandu.

FAQ

Our guides are trained in first aid, carry a comprehensive medical kit, and can deal with most of the problems encountered on treks. However, in the case of a serious accident outside help needs to be available. That’s why comprehensive insurance is essential. Trekking is not possible without full insurance cover, which you can purchase in your home country. You need to have full, personal, travel insurance that covers personal belongings, trip cancellation plus medical, rescue, and evacuation insurance(for air ambulance and helicopter rescue services). You must carry the company’s insurance policy certificate with you, it must include your name, address, policy number, contact numbers, and procedure for the company’s rescue department.

Credit cards are only accepted in cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara. You have to make ready Nepalese Rupees to spend during the trek.

Your personal expenses should be only for hot showers, charging batteries, additional drinks, and snacks, the cost rising with altitude. You can make a ceremony with your trekking team at the end of the trek.
Regular walking or jogging activities for a few months before your trip will ensure high altitude trekking. People who trek so quickly and climb too high in a day may suffer Acute Mountain Sickness( AMS) so we call trekkers slow and steady walking. Stops for rests and do not carry more than 5 kg with you. Pre-fitness and stamina are required for trekking in Nepal. Spend at least two nights in the city before going to the trekking destination which gives time for acclimatization as well as easy to arrange necessary trekking permits.
We prefer the group size from 1-10 pax but more can be accommodated on request. There must be 2 persons accompanied by a registered guide in the Restrict Regions( Upper Dolpo, Mustang, Nar-Phu, Manaslu, and Kanchenjunga). Anyone who is reasonably fit and can walk for 5-6 hours a day in a hilly country can trek in Nepal. We suggest children up to 15 years stay below 3500m and above 15 years can tackle the higher routes.
