Langtang Trek

Langtang Trek is a complete trekking adventure in the Nepalese Himalayas that is short and easy but also renowned for its wide-ranging mountain views, glaciers, wildlife, natural beauty, culture, and yak cheese. This well-designed hiking itinerary takes you to the glorious valley of Langtang, passing by lush green forests, beautiful villages, roaring waterfalls, and incredible mountain landscapes in just 10 days

Langtang Trek in Nepal takes you on a delightful expedition inside one of the discreet Himalayas areas of Nepal which cater for all kinds of trekkers. The Langtang Trek in Nepal shares borders with Tibet in the north; hence, the region is highly influenced by the lifestyle, culture, and tradition of its northern counterpart. It is home to Langtang National Park and a popular pilgrimage site of Gosainkunda. Langtang Lirung (7,227m), Langtang Ri (7205m), and Yala Peak (5,50m) are a few of the mountains located entirely inside the National Park and are also available for the grand audience during trekking in Langtang Valley.

Langtang Trek Highlights:

  • Trek in the Langtang National Park and get to observe plenty of flowers and wildlife including the endangered Red Panda.
  • Visit Kyanjin Gompa and learn about its heritage.
  • Great view of Mt. Ganesh Himal, Mt. Langtang and many more panorama views of the Himalayas.
  • Experience the rich cultural exploration of the local people in the Himalayas.

Langtang Trek is a 10-day trekking package taking you to the wildest land of beauty. Langtang Trek is the closest Himalayan region to Kathmandu Valley filled with scintillating natural heritages. Massive snowcapped mountains, beautiful glacial lakes, lush vegetation, Tibetan peoples and their unique lifestyle influence everyone to visit over there.

A few hours’ drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubeshi, Langtang Trek starts following the ragging Langtang river across the dense forest of Langtang National Park which eventually takes us to Langtang village (3,430m) and Kyanjin Gompa (3,870m). It is one of the most popular trekking regions for those wishing a short trek in the Himalayas of Nepal.

The Tibetan lifestyle greatly influences Langtang Valley, locals are descendants of Tibetan origin. Varieties of Rhododendron, majestic waterfalls, bamboo forests, snow-capped mountains and hair-rising landscapes make you walk a diverse experience. Join us and entertain your adventure life with an adventure walk.
