Langtang Valley Trek

Framed by the ridgelines of Langtang National Park, the Langtang Valley trek is a compact Himalayan journey that blends forest, culture, and big-mountain views. Starting with a drive to Syabrubesi (≈1,550m), we follow the Langtang Khola through bamboo, oak, and rhododendron forests toward Lama Hotel (≈2,500m), where langur monkeys and—if we’re lucky—red pandas inhabit the slopes. The valley opens near Ghodatabela, revealing the dramatic icefalls of Langtang Lirung (7,227m) as we continue to Langtang Village/Mundu (≈3,500m), rebuilt with resilience after the 2015 earthquake.

A short, scenic day leads to Kyanjin Gompa (≈3,900m), a stone-and-prayer-flag hamlet ringed by glaciers and peaks. Here we acclimatize with options: a summit of Kyanjin Ri (≈4,773m) or the fuller panorama from Tserko Ri (≈4,984m), where the skyline takes in Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Yala Peak, and, on clear days, Shishapangma across the border. Along the way we visit a local monastery and the yak-cheese factory, and share warm hospitality in family-run teahouses.

Daily walking is typically 5–7 hours, with a steady altitude profile for comfort and safety. Best seasons are spring (rhododendrons, stable views) and autumn (crisp skies). Our guide team manages permits, pace, and safety throughout—so you can focus on the rhythm of the river, village life, and the ever-widening horizons.
