Langtang Valley Trek

12 Days

Hidden within the Langtang National Park, the Langtang Valley Trek offers a serene and less-traveled adventure in Nepal. This relatively easy trek is ideal for those seeking a taste of the Himalayas without the crowds.

The trail winds through diverse landscapes, from lush rhododendron forests to alpine meadows and towering peaks. Encounter remote villages, terraced fields, and deep gorges as you journey through this captivating valley. The presence of grazing yaks, rare wildlife, and towering glaciers adds to the allure of this trek.

Kyanjin Gompa, the highest village in the valley at 3,860 meters, serves as a base for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying stunning views. Day hikes to nearby peaks and lakes offer opportunities for breathtaking vistas and challenging adventures.

The Langtang Valley was devastated by the 2015 earthquake, but the village has since been rebuilt. The region is rich in biodiversity, home to endangered species like the Himalayan red panda, pika, and musk deer.

The best time to embark on the Langtang Valley Trek is during the pre-monsoon months (March-June) or the post-monsoon months (September-December).

Overview

Why go for the Langtang Valley Trek?

The Langtang Valley is way less crowded than Everest Base Camp Trek or the Annapurna Circuit. There are no 8000m peaks here, but Langtang Lirung rises well over 7000m and its east face rears up for more than 3km (the same as the difference between Everest and its base camp). The village of Kyanjin Gompa is surrounded by snowy peaks on all sides, and if you head farther up the valley to the shrines of Langshisa Kharka, you’ll have breathtaking views all around. A vast wall of peaks lies between you and Tibet and to the south Ganchenpo (Fluted Mountain) climbs gracefully into the heavens.
