Overview
This trail is gifted with sublime mountain views and impressive scenic landscapes. With more than 1000 plants, birds of 150 species and numerous other mammals Langtang Valley trekking is very popular. It indulges regular and novice trekkers alike in a once in a lifetime experience.
Langtang Valley is a beautiful valley to the north of Kathmandu. Langtang is also a national park spread over an area of 1710 sq. km. It also happens to be the first Himalayan national park. The area is lightly inhabited and the trail less trodden. So, the trek is a solitary and peaceful experience amidst the beautiful nature and traditional settlements. The valley is believed to have been discovered when a person was looking for his lost yak. It was aptly named Langtang, as in Tibetan language Lang means yak and tang means follow. With its picturesque landscapes, moderate climate, easy trails and traditional lifestyles, Langtang valley is really one of the gems of the Himalayan country, Nepal.
Langtang Valley trek offers astounding views of mountains above 7000m like Langtang Lirung (7,200m), Ganesh Himal (7,600m) and Langtang-II (7,227m) etc. This trail also offers splendid views of snow-capped Himalayan ranges like Tserko Ri (5033m), Kyanjin RI, Ganchhenpo (6388m), Dorje Lakpa (6990m) and Laure Binayak pass (4,609m). Beautiful rice terraces and a number of splendid monasteries are scattered all along the trail. Snow capped mountains right in front of your eyes really makes the trekking more gorgeous and outstanding.
Langtang Valley trekking includes splendid natural and cultural variances. Rhododendron, bamboo and pine forest. Swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow-capped peaks. Grassy downs and meadows to Daisies. Wild Premolar, majestic waterfalls flowing over mammoth boulders and soothing hot springs.
Itinerary
We start early in the morning after breakfast and start our drive up to Syabrubeshi which takes about 7 -8 hours. We drive along the scenic banks of Trishuli River with beautiful views of valleys, meadows, rivers and mountains. After reaching the destination at 1460m, we will check-in to the hotel and spend the night there.
The trek for the day starts right after breakfast. At first the trail ascends for about 2 hours and then a climb for an hour takes us to a bamboo village where we will enjoy our lunch. After that we walk through levelled trails witnessing a number of bird species in the area as well as beehives hanging on the cliffs. We will have to ascend a steep climb again to finally reach the Lama Hotel where we will stay the night.
A pleasant walk through the rhododendron and pine forests for 3 hours takes us to Ghoda Tabela. After having lunch here, we can enjoy the dense forests and herbs in the area. Another 3-4 hours walk through a scenic trail finally takes us to the Langtang valley where we will spend the night.
Today is more like a leisure day as we will take a leisurely walk for 2 -3 hours to visit the Kyangjin Gompa at an altitude of 3817m.

Langtang Valley TrekLangtang Valley Trek March 2022
In January 2022 i came in contact with Nepal Eco Adventure. Chhatra explaned everything about the trek and the things you need or can bring on the trek. The day before the trek starts, you have a meeting at the office of NEA. All the papers, payment and equipment gets arranged. I booked a private Jeep, and that is well recomended. The drive to the starting point at Kathmandu is about 6 hours with a delicious local lunch. The next day the trek starts, my Sherpa and Guide (1 person, because i was the only one) Kedar, was really helpful, knows a lot about the region, and is good company. The whole trek is arranged, just the drinks, hot bucket shower when there is no shower, are your costs. Kedar arranged the guesthouses or hotels on the day, so you can adjust your walking step if the trek is to hard. I would certainly recommend NEA and Kedar for the future! -
Langtang Valley TrekTamang heritage and Langtang Valley trek with guide Bijay and porter Lama
My husband and I just completed an 11 day(including two days bus travel) trek through the subject area. The Tamang heritage trek was very peaceful, with an amazing glimpse of Tibetan and Nepali culture as well as stunning scenery. The Langtang Valley portion of the trek was much busier, but also provided some great trekking with amazing views. Both areas were hit very hard by the 2015 earthquake. Estimate is that 500 lives were lost in the Langtang Valley alone. Evidence of destruction is everywhere, but the resilient locals are busy rebuilding their homes. Our guide Bijay was professional, knowledgeable and fun. He has an excellent knowledge of birds and is always keen to point out and let you see the birds and other wildlife with his binoculars. He is also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the local culture. My husband was quite ill during the early part of the trek and Bijay was quick to adjust our trekking plans in order to allow my husband to heal. He also had a thorough stash of medications to help deal with common ailments. Bijay was also attentive to our adjustment to the higher altitudes and took our pulse and oxygenation levels regularly to ensure that we were not struck with altitude sickness. Our porter, Nima Sherpa a.k.a Lama, was a quiet and gentle man with a happy demeanour and a great sense of humour. We had great fun throughout the trek learning Nepali words with this great pair. Bijay and Lama were attentive to the food we were eating and went out of their way to ensure good hygiene in the preparation of our food at the tea houses. They both had very positive demeanours. They became our friends. Highly recommend trekking with this guide/porter combo. Thanks for the great experience and we are already looking forward to trekking with you again. -
Langtang Valley TrekLangtang Valley trek
Namaste, I recently returned from completing an 8 day trek to Langtrang with my guide Bijay Rajkarki and my porter Ray kumarthapa . I can honestly say that it was an extremely demanding trek in many areas , in terms of the weather and terrain and conditions in some of the tea houses. However, I was as well prepared as I could be and I was completely overwhelmed by the professionalism of both Bijay and Ray who worked tirelessly together as a team to smooth everything they possibly could for me. Safety was his utmost priority and he seemed to intuitively know exactly how to make mybtrek the most enjoyable . He was a mine of information along the way regarding every interesting aspect of the trek. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend them both as guide and porter. I will never forget this unique experience! Thank you Bijay and Raj. I wish you both well! -
Langtang Valley TrekLangtang Trek with Nepal Eco Adventure
I spent the past 2 weeks trekking with Nepal Eco Adventure in Langtang National Park. My friend and I contacted Chhatra from Australia and he did a fantastic job organising our itinerary to fit in with our travel plans. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu, we were well looked after by Chhatra. He not only sorted our accommodation in Kathmandu, but set about organising an amazing trek to Langtang National Park and Gosaikunda Lakes. He introduced us to our guide and porter Dawa and Irra, who were to become good friends by the end of our two weeks together (and fierce competitors in card games- Dhumbal)! We saw the most amazing scenery everyday, but it was really the Nepali people who made our trip so special. Thank you to Dawa for being the ever social 'Red Panda' and introducing us to so many people on our walks. Thank you to Irra who not only carried our bags, but patiently taught us some Nepalese language along the way. Chhatra did an amazing job in organising our trek, and we look forward to returning to Nepal for another trek with Nepal Eco Adventure in the future. For anyone travelling to Langtang, you will read in Lonely planet about the long bus trip (9hr) to travel 120km. They are not kidding. We caught the public bus to Syabrubesi to start our trek, which took over 9 hours with a lot of bumps and upset tummies along the way. For the way home from Dhunche we opted to pay the extra money for a jeep which took about 4.5hrs. Thanks to Dawa and Chhatra for organising this, it is well worth spending the money. The cost of a jeep is 10 000 Rupees and comfortably seats 7 people + driver. We found many travellers willing to share the cost of the jeep. We highly recommend this, as the public bus is over-crowded with people, goats and chickens; and is subject to many stops by the local police/military for some time as bags are searched. Nepal is an amazing country, I am already looking forward to my next trip. -
Langtang Valley TrekAmazing experience doing the Langtang Valley hike
I had an amazing experience doing the Langtang Valley hike this December. Since his reply to my very first email Chhatra had been really very helpful. He always provided me with honest details suiting my requirements. Before the hike and on my request he took me to a local shop where I bought a down jacket at a good price. Tshering, my guide during the trip, was amazing. He had lots of experience on Mountains and communicated really well. Almost always, we ended the hard days with either Raksi (locally distilled beverage) or Khukri (rum) having varied discussions sitting next to fire, which was delightful. We made a perfect team during the trip and indeed, became good friends. He offered me a bottle of Raksi made by his wife before my departure home. I highly recommend Nepal Eco Adventure to anyone considering Nepal as their adventure destination, and would definitely contact them myself for my next trip to Nepal.
