The Langtang Trek is a fascinating and lesser-known route in the Langtang region, which is situated close to Kathmandu. This is a short tea house trek that takes you through the heart of the stunning Langtang National Park, where you can explore the rich cultural heritage of the Tibetan-influenced ethnic group. The trek offers a unique opportunity to hike into the depths of the park, south of Langtang Lirung, and witness some of nature’s finest creations.
 
The main highlight of this Langtang trek is undoubtedly Kyanjin Gompa and Kyanjin Ri. These places are blessed with breathtaking views of Langtang Lirung, Langtang Ri, Dorge Lakpa, Loenopa Gang, Changbu, Gangchenpo, Yala, and Ganjala peaks. These 6th and 7th thousand peaks are a treat to behold and will leave you spellbound.
 
To start your Langtang trek, we will drive to Syprubesi, from where we will embark on a journey through lush forests, quaint settlements, and breathtaking landscapes. We will hike to the vantage settlement of Kyanjin Gompa, where we will stay at local tea houses. This will allow us to interact with the local people and learn about their culture and lifestyle.
 
We will take a day hike to Kyanjin Ri, which is the ultimate highlight of this Langtang trek. The panoramic views from the top are nothing short of majestic, and you can witness the pure wonder of the Himalayas. We will ensure that you trek safely and that your well-being is our utmost priority. Thus, we will provide a medically trained trekking guide to lead your Langtang trek, and we will carry an oxygen cylinder with a medical kit to deal with any emergencies that may arise.

Why the Langtang Valley trek is highlighted? 
The Langtang Valley Trek is an adventure that offers a unique experience by taking you away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immersing you in the once-isolated region of Langtang. During this trek, you will witness the striking contrasts between the busy cities and the tranquil wilderness of the Langtang region. 
 
As you begin your trek, you will traverse through the subtropical jungle before reaching the alpine Rhododendron forest. As you make your way through the valley of glaciers, also known as Langtang Valley, you will come across deep gorges and rivers, as well as terraced meadows. Walking through the lush green forest filled with Rhododendron and other wildflowers will leave you in awe. 
 
The Langtang Valley Trek also provides an opportunity to spot some endangered wildlife species, such as the Red Panda, Langur Monkeys, and many others. The marvelous views of snowy peaks like Dorje Lakpa, Langtang Ri, and Langtang Lirung will leave you mesmerized.
 
Apart from the natural beauty, this trek also offers a chance to visit different monasteries and a yak cheese factory. You can also explore the unique culture and traditions of the Tamang and Tibetan people.

Detail Itinerary

Langtang Valley Trek begins with your arrival at the Kathmandu Airport, where you’ll be warmly greeted by one of the representatives from Himalayan Trekkers. They will escort you to your designated hotel, which is just a 30-minute drive away. Once you arrive at the hotel, you can take some time to rest or take a stroll around the surrounding streets.
 
Later in the day, we will head to Boudhanath Stupa, which is the largest stupa in the country built in Chaitya/Stupa style. The stupa is a significant representation of Tibetan and local Nepalese Buddhism and is a popular destination for both international and local visitors due to its peaceful aura and religious significance.
 
After that, we will drive to Pashupatinath Temple, which is only a 15-minute drive from the stupa, to join the aarti ceremony that takes place every evening. Pashupatinath is one of the most important Hindu sites in the world and is devoted to Lord Shiva. While non-Hindus are not allowed to enter the main temple, they can still explore the surroundings and witness the open cremation ceremony on the bank of the Bagmati River opposite the aarti ceremony.
 
Once we finish exploring these two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, we will return to Thamel and take a stroll around the streets to get a glimpse of the area. Please note that these visits are only possible if your arrival is before the afternoon.

After breakfast, we will begin our exploration of the remaining world heritage sites, including Swayambhunath Temple, which is widely famous as the monkey temple due to the numerous monkeys that reside there. The temple has a history interrelated to the birth of the Kathmandu valley, and the top of the hill where the white dome of Swoyambhu is located offers fantastic views of the valley and surrounding mountains.
 
Next, we will visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square, an ancient Newari town that is also known as the city of devotees.

Trek begins with an exciting and adventurous journey to Lama Hotel. This day marks the beginning of the main theme of the trekking journey. The trekking will start after having a delicious breakfast. We will gather our belongings and set out on foot via the ridge on Syabrubesi’s main road. As we start our trek, we will cross the Ghopcha Khola River and pass by several terraced fields and dense forests, which are home to a variety of plant species like oaks, maple, alder, and bamboo.
 
If we are fortunate enough, we might spot some rare and endangered species such as the red panda, yellow-throated martin, wild boar, langur monkey, and Himalayan black bear en route. As we continue ascending steeply along the trail, we come across a steel suspension bridge at 2000 meters and cross to the north bank of the Langtang Khola. After crossing the bridge, we finally arrived at Lama Hotel.
 
Lama Hotel is not one hotel, but a collection of lodges and homes that are our destination for the night. Once we reach there, we will settle in at one of the best local lodges and spend the night there. We will enjoy a sumptuous meal comprising breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the lodge. Our accommodation for the night will be at a Tea House.
 
Trek starts with an early breakfast, and then we set out on foot alongside the river through a rich and lush environment. As we trek, we get a beautiful view of Langtang Lirung and several other peaks. The trail then goes across a log bridge and onto the meadows of Ghoda Tabela at 3000m. From here, the trail goes through dense forest, where we can spot Langur Monkeys and some unique local birds.
 
Once, there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepalese army post/checkpoint where we will be registered, although it has no permanent inhabitants. The route then ascends gently and reaches a wide valley where few temporary settlements can be seen. We then continue and pass by a few traditional chortens, water mills, Mani Walls, and Prayer Wheels before arriving at Langtang Village.
 
Langtang Village is a large scenic settlement of mostly Tamang people who follow Buddhism. The village has flat-roofed Tibetan-style houses, encircled by stone walls. It is surrounded by fields of buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, turnips, and barley. We will explore the village surroundings and might also have some interesting interactions with the locals. We will spend the night at a Tea House and have our meals comprising breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The trek begins with breakfast, and then we set out for Kyangjin Gompa, the region’s most important monastery. As we trek, we pass religious mounds of rocks with inscriptions etched on them, as well as water mills, prayer wheels, and shortens. We also walk through Nepal’s largest mani wall, which is constructed of stone and has prayers written on it.
 
We will spend the rest of the afternoon following a short climb exploring the Tibetan Buddhist shrine in Kyangjin Gompa and the surrounding environs, which provide us with breathtaking views of the mountains such as Dorje Larpa (6990 m), Langtang RI (6370 m), and Langtang Lirung (7245 m). We will also visit the cheese factory there and observe the procedure of making it. We will have our meals comprising breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Tea House. 
Depending on the weather and your interests. We will wake up to the majestic scenery of mighty peaks and glaciers and head to the monastery to observe the Buddhist monks’ enchanting morning prayers and pilgrims praying.
 
After returning to our lodge and having breakfast, we will prepare for the day and start the hike. Both places provide close-up views of the surrounding peaks, including Yala Peak, Langtang Ri, Langtang Lirung, Naya Kanga, and Langshisha Ri Peak. However, the path to Langshisha Kharka is less difficult than Tserko Ri. We will have our meals comprising breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Tea House, where we will spend the night.
