Langtang Valley Trek is a popular trekking destination in Nepal known for its natural beauty, diverse flora and fauna, and rich cultural heritage. The trek offers a unique experience of exploring the Langtang Valley, also known as the "valley of glaciers," with its stunning landscapes, snow-capped mountains, and traditional villages.
The trek begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, where you will have a rest day to explore the city and make necessary preparations for the trek. On the second day, you can choose to participate in optional day tours to famous sites in Kathmandu or take a day for personal activities.
On the third day, you will travel from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, the starting point of the trek. The scenic drive takes you through winding mountain roads, offering glimpses of the majestic Ganesh Himal along the way. After reaching Syabrubesi, you will spend the night in a tea house or lodge.
The actual trekking starts on the fourth day as you leave Syabrubesi and make your way to Lama Hotel. The trail takes you through suspension bridges, villages, and dense forests of rhododendron and bamboo. You will pass through Pairo, Bamboo, and cross several suspension bridges before reaching Lama Hotel, where you will spend the night.
On the fifth day, you will trek from Lama Hotel to Mundu via Langtang Village. The trail continues through lush green forests and offers panoramic views of Langtang and Ganjala Peak. Langtang Village, though affected by the 2015 earthquake, has been rebuilt and is now a thriving community. You can choose to stay in Langtang Village or continue to Mundu.
The sixth day takes you from Mundu to Kyanjin Gompa, a famous monastery in the region. The trail passes through yak pastures and tiny villages, offering picturesque landscapes. At Kyanjin Gompa, you can visit the Cheese Factory and enjoy the panoramic views of Langtang Lirung, Gangchempo, and Nayakhang.
On the seventh day, you will embark on a trek to Tserko Ri, the highest point of the trek at an elevation of 5,000 meters. The ascent to Tserko Ri is challenging but rewards you with breathtaking views of the Langtang Valley and surrounding peaks. After enjoying the views, you will return to Kyanjin Gompa for the night.
The eighth day involves retracing your steps as you trek from Kyanjin Gompa back to Lama Hotel. The trail takes you through forests and streams, and you will spend the night in Lama Hotel.
On the ninth day, you will trek from Lama Hotel to Syabrubesi, which offers two route options. One follows the outbound route through Bamboo and Rimche, while the other takes you via Rimche and Sherpa Gaun, providing stunning views of the Langtang Valley. You can choose the route based on your fitness level and weather conditions.
The tenth day marks the end of the trek as you depart from Syabrubesi and return to Kathmandu. The journey takes approximately 6-7 hours by bus, with a lunch break in Trisuli. Once back in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel.
The eleventh day is the departure day, where you will have breakfast at the hotel and be transferred to the airport for your return journey.
