Located amidst the majestic Himalayas, the Langtang Valley Trek presents an enchanting expedition through stunning scenery, diverse cultural experiences, and tranquil natural surroundings. One of the closest treks from Kathmandu, the journey offers an outlook of a place that is so different from the capital city. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the treks present an ideal blend of adventure and tranquility for trekkers looking for an unforgettable Himalayan experience.
Our Langtang Valley Trek is an easy-to-moderate trekking journey that begins with an exciting yet scenic drive to Dhunche from Kathmandu. We leave the bustling rural town and take the lone paths through lush forests, engaging with friendly locals. The journey also includes bypassing beautiful quaint villages decorated with ancient monasteries, mani walls, and chortens whilst being captivated by the charm and the allure of the Himalayan gem.
Moreover, as the trail goes through Langtang National Park, trekkers can expect to encounter lush rhododendron forests, towering bamboo groves, and pristine alpine meadows. The park further enhances the appeal as it serves as a shelter for diverse bird species, red pandas, and Himalayan tahr. Besides the park, we also walk past Tamang and Tibetan settlements admiring the customs, traditions, and architecture of the local people. One must not forget to explore the cheese factories for authentic yak cheese.
Additionally, the journey also includes exploring the ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa situated at an altitude of 3870 meters in Kyanjin Ri. Visiting this picturesque monastery allows trekkers to see religious landmarks of the region that are preciously secured and preserved. The visuals of the great Langtang range are already breathtaking from Kyanjin Ri but for those seeking an extra challenge, ascend to Tserko Ri (4984 m) to admire the mountains from an even closer vantage point.
This stunning adventure away from the usual routes is a must-have experience. You will undoubtedly make exceptional memories exploring verdant woods, stunning vistas, and undulating hills all while experiencing unique cultures. Do join us to travel the less-trodden path. Our expert team at Hike Holiday Trek promises you a remarkable journey to remember for a lifetime.
When you arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu, one of Hike Holiday Treks representative will greet you. You will then be taken to your hotel for check-in. You can relax for the rest of the time after getting a brief itinerary overview of your trip.
After breakfast, we will drive out over the northwest hills, enjoying in the magnificent Himalayan views and catching glimpses of the people’s lives as we pass through several rural settlements. We will also pass through the Trishuli Bazaar before reaching in Dhunche. Driving from Dhunche, we will arrive at Syapru Besi.
We will be heading towards from Syapru Besi, crossing the Bhote Koshi River, and then continuing along the Langtang River. It takes about 5 hours to go to the Lama Hotel from Syabrubesi. We will also gradually rise to Bamboo and continue further, eventually arriving at Ramche at an elevation of 2,400 metres. Ramche is located along the Langtang River’s coast. On the journey, we may see wild monkeys, Red Pandas, and other habituated creatures in the jungle. We will eventually arrive at the Lama Hotel as we continue walking.
We will have a delightful stroll today because we will follow the track through wooded regions with blossoming rhododendrons and pine trees. We will also pass through Ghoda Tabela, where we will observe thick, lush landscapes ornamented with many plants and the vibrant presence of foxgloves and red poppies. After another three hours on the lovely trail, we’ll pass Langtang Village, which lies at 3,455 metres, and proceed towards Mundu.
This is one of the most important days of the trek. We begin our trip in Langtang Village, continue to Sindum, and then heading up to Yamphu (3,640m). We will also cross the Laja River and go to a wonderful location to watch amazing icefalls cascading from Langtang Lirung and the Kyanjin Gompa. At Kyanjin Gompa, we can admire spectacular views of Mt Gangchempo, Mt Langtang Lirung, and other mountains.
Today is a rest day in Kyanjin Gompa. We will also explore the area. You may tour both the monastery and the cheese factory. Climbing to Chorkari Ri, located 5,050m behind Langtang Village, we will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the great ice walls and the entire Langtang Himalayan Range, including Langshisa Ri (6,810 m), Langtang Lirung (7,244m), Ganjala peak, Gyangchempo (6,888 m), and more.
On this day we begin returning our steps back home, cherishing all of our pleasant memories and the incredible journey we took to get there. Our overnight stay today will be at the Lama Hotel. It’s worth noting that the tea houses on the Langtang Valley trip are scarce, therefore Lama Hotel is always bustling and full of visitors.
On this day, we will embark on a 5-6 hour hike that will impress us with its ease as the path drops downhill. The hike that took us two days on the way up will now be completed in one day. However, we must exercise caution as the slope becomes steeper.
On this day, we trek back to Syabru Bensi (1462 m), where we started. This walk will last approximately 5 to 6 hours, with a heart full of memories, thousands of lessons learned, and hundreds of stories to tell. With a mind full of thoughts throughout the paths, you’ll be surprised at how quickly your excursion ends.
Today, we will drive back to Kathmandu from Syabru Bensi, which will take approximately 7 hours. You can spend the rest of your day at the hotel in Kathmandu.
In the evening, you’ll join the farewell dinner hosted by Hike Holiday Treks, where you’ll receive your achievement certificate in recognition of your journey.
One of our team members will meet you at the hotel around 3 hours before your flight time to drive you back to the airport. With hopes to see you again for another epic Himalayan adventure, we bid farewell and wish you safe travels ahead!
