Langtang Valley Trek is one of the best trails in the central Nepalese Himalayas providing trekkers with a completely natural and cultural adventure. It is often considered as one of the top three regions in Nepal for trekking alongside Everest and Annapurna. This Trek stands out even more due to its short and outright authentic itinerary. With Tamang and Tibetan ethnic groups sharing the path, you can dive into a uniquely different part of the world in a trek to Langtang. Now fully reconstructed and managed after the 2015 April Nepal Earthquake, Langtang Trek invites thrill-seeking individuals in its proximity once more.
From the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, your week-long trail to witness Langtang Valley starts at Syabrubesi. The journey in the winding hilly roads to reach Syabru is amazing. Passing small settlements, teahouses, monasteries, and Mani walls, our trek reaches Langtang Village on the fifth day. The humbling site of the disaster that struck the Langtang village makes you stop here and change your perspective of life. From here we will travel the last stretch of the trail to Kyanjin Gompa and Kyanjin Ri. The majestic view of mountains, mountain ecosystem, welcoming locals, scenic background, and never-ending joy hits you upon reaching the top here. Retracing our steps back, we will return to Kathmandu Valley and conclude this journey to a piece of Shangri-La in Nepal.
Langtang Valley trek is perfect for different types of trekkers. It is one of the most re-taken trails from returning travelers in Nepal. There is something different and magical about the whole region of Langtang. You can be the next to be a part of this delight with View Nepal Treks.

The flowers will be blooming and with the winter just over you can witness the snow-capped peaks in their full glory. You can also trek in Langtang during the off-season.

Langtang Valley Trek is just a moderately difficult trek in the Himalayas. However, trekking in the rural regions of Nepal needs thorough planning and preparation. Our guides will assist you throughout your journey but you have to do your part as well. Make sure you have the most important trekking gear and equipment with you. Try warming your body and preparing it with short walks before the trek itself.
The next step of your preparation will be to be aware of the major mistakes trekkers can make. It is best not to over-pack. Similarly, bring clothes according to the season to help you travel light. It might be okay if you are planning to bring porters with you. We also suggest you keep a couple of extra days in your travel plans to accommodate any unforeseen delays, problems, or trekking complications.
What are the permits required for Langtang Valley Trek?
The Trail taking you to the heart of Langtang valley is inside the Langtang National Park protected by the Nepal government for its natural and cultural significance. Therefore, you have to apply for the Langtang National Park Permit (LNPP) to enter and continue the trek. The cost for LNPP is around 34$ per person valid for the duration of the trip. Similarly, for trekkers from SAARC nations, the permit cost is 200 NPR per person.
TIMS card is also required for the Langtang Trek. It will cost about 10$ while applying in a group. You can get both the permit and TIMS card from the Nepal Tourism Board office in Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu.
What is the total distance covered during the trek? How difficult is it for the average trekker?
The total walking distance after completing the Langtang Valley Trek is around 72 km (45 miles). For a week of walking the distance is slightly over 10 km per day. Starting at 1460 meters, you will reach the maximum elevation of 4780 meters gaining around 3300 meters in the process. For an average trekker, this trek is ideal for well-managed walking days and regular elevation gain. With our expert assistance, this trek is not difficult at all.
What is the food and accommodation services like for the Langtang Trek?
Treks in Langtang National Park resemble the likes of Annapurna and the Everest region when it comes to food and accommodation. You will be staying in proper teahouses and eating simple foods for the duration. Expect basic facilities in the teahouse rooms and communal dining rooms. The foods here utilize the local organic ingredients and are fit for trekkers. Similarly, you can also find traditional foods and snacks on the menu if you want to try them.
Is the Langtang safe for females, the elderly and solo trekkers?
Yes, Langtang is safe for different kinds of travelers. With guided treks, you don't have to worry too much. Solo trekkers can also navigate the trails easily here. Similarly, the locals of Langtang are very helpful and welcoming for travelers in the region. Be polite and responsible you will complete the trek without any hassle.
Is there a chance of getting altitude sickness during the Trek?
Yes, there is a small possibility of getting mild altitude sickness during the trek. However, most trekkers can do the trek with some rest and caution. Its symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, and lack of appetite. Get plenty of rest, walk slowly, rehydrate regularly, and eat a balanced diet to reduce your chances of getting altitude sickness.
How customizable is this trekking itinerary by View Nepal?
We offer a high level of customization in each of our itineraries for the ease and comfort of trekkers. However, you have to provide us with these changes a few weeks before the trek for the best results in the preparation and management of the trek.
Is Travel Insurance important to have for the Langtang Valley Trek?
We suggest you get good Insurance covering the trek entirely. It is better to make sure your policy also covers emergency evacuation, delays, cancellations, and medical expenses while you are in Nepal.
Is the trail accessible through the mobile network and Wi-Fi facilities?
You can expect a good mobile network in the lower regions of Langtang. However, we can't promise you a good connection in the latter half. Wi-Fi is available in well-established teahouses throughout the trek. Make sure you ask the teahouse owners about it (alongside charges) when deciding to stay there for the day.
Book this trip as a private departure - for any group, big or small.
