Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang Valley Trek is a beautiful and affordable option for those who want to experience the natural beauty of Nepal. The Langtang area is one of the most picturesque regions in Nepal, with massive snow-capped mountains and diverse flora and fauna in the Langtang National Park. The trek is not as expensive or challenging as others, making it accessible to a wider range of travellers.

The Langtang region is a treasure trove of historical customs and culture, particularly in terms of Buddhism. The people of Langtang have been deeply influenced by Tibetan-Buddhist traditions over many years. The ten-day Langtang Valley Trek is not just a physical journey, but a spiritual one, offering a unique opportunity to immerse in the local culture and gain insight into their traditional ways of survival.

Trip Highlights & Attractions

The trek passes through Langtang National Park, a pristine countryside with majestic flora and fauna, yak pastures, and local cheese factories. This region is home to Himalayan pheasants, deer, bears, monkeys, and the elusive red panda.

The trail takes you to an altitude of 4,000m (13,123 ft), and if you want to go higher, you wouldn't want to miss seeing the sunrise from Tserko Ri at 5,000m (16,404 ft).

This diverse trek introduces you to the Tamangs' and Sherpas' Buddhist culture. The ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa, situated near Tserko, upholds this tradition. The spectacular views on this trek include Dorje Lakpa (6,990m / 22,933 ft), Langtang Ri (6,370m / 20,898 ft), and Langtang Lirung (7,245m / 23,769 ft).
