Langtang Valley Trek - Map | Height, 12 Days Itinerary, Cost and GuideDuration
Price
The Langtang valley, also known as the "valley of glaciers" offers an abundance of wildlife and rich cultural and historical importance. Couple this with picturesque scenery such as pine forests, swift mountain streams, rugged rocks, and mountains rising; it is bound to be a unique experience. During this trek, you will understand the history of the Tibetan ancestry and their way of living, agriculture, and trade.
After the massive earthquake in 2015, most of the Langtang valley was destroyed and now they are making a comeback as you can see the warm and gentle smile while welcoming you. You can enjoy not only the colorful dresses of the people but also the blooming rhododendron forests, birds, and butterflies. The trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Gatlang. Exploring Tamang Heritage, we reach Langtang village and explore Kyanjin RI.
Langtang Valley Trek is a short and moderate trek that does not require any technical skills or previous trekking experience. You can complete the entire trek in 8 to 10 days, walking 5 to 7 hours per day. The most challenging section of Langtang Trek is the hike from Kyanjin Gompa to Tserko RI. The trail to Tserko RI is mostly steep uphill on the rocky Himalayan terrain. However, on most days, the path is easy and comfortable with a pleasant walk.
The highest elevation point in Langtang Valley Trek is 5,000m above sea level. Therefore, Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is one of the significant threats while trekking in Langtang. You are required to take all the necessary precautions while traveling at such a high elevation. Insist on drinking plenty of water, and be aware of the symptoms of AMS. The weather in the Himalayas is always unpredictable, especially in the upper reaches. Therefore, it is essential to pack all the necessary equipment while trekking in Langtang Valley.
If you’re planning to trek during monsoon season, stay cautious on the trail. There are plenty of landslide-prone areas en route to Langtang Valley. While this trek may be relatively easy for experienced trekkers, it does demand a certain level of physical fitness and attitude. One proper way to keep you fit for the trek is to engage in cardio-oriented exercises.
This itinerary is a guideline only and we will follow the itinerary as far as possible but due to weather conditions, health conditions, natural disasters and other unfavorable phenomenon your guide might decide to amend or skip the itinerary for your own safety. Your guide will help you at any time with providing indesc-wrapion regarding conditions and safety during the trek.
