Langtang Valley Trek in 2023-2024

We are almost in 2023 and getting a booking for 2023. If you are planning a short and less crowded trekking trail in 2023-2024 the Langtang Valley Trek can be the best one for you. Our early booking is open for Autumn and Spring. 

How difficult is Langtang Valley Trek?

Langtang Valley Trek is one of the closest trekking trails from the main city of Kathmandu into the lap of the Langtang region with the numerous Himalayas. It is just around 63 km North of Kathmandu. This closeness of the Langtang region makes Langtang trek a popular trail for trekkers who as on a short visit or are restricted with their time frame and budget or are with the family for a trek in Nepal.

Langtang Valley trail is a moderate trek without any technical hardship, taking you to the 360° panoramic view of the wide Langtang range bordering Tibet. The trail itself is filled with green terrain, age-old villages, waterfalls, rivers, and monasteries, and finally ends in the lap of the giant Himalayas.

Apart from all these, the trail to Langtang valley is easy-going towards the highest altitude at Tserko Ri Peak (5033m/ 16513ft), but the good thing is that Tserko Ri Peak is just a hiking day tour from the highest overnight camp which is Kyangjing Gompa (3800m/ 12467ft).

Whatsoever maybe the altitude, prior trekking, or climbing experience is not required for any trekkers, and there is nothing to worry about the altitude sickness as you will be at a lower altitude for the entire overnight camp.

This day number of trekkers get worried about the Langtang trekking trail because of the devasting earthquake of 2015 AD. As the earthquake affected, almost all the villages of the Langtang region, killing tourists and also locals, the trail was destroyed as well.

But this became history now, the village has been rebuilt, teahouse and lodges started operating and the locals are ready to welcome visitors, with the well-maintained trail.

Reconstruction of trails and villages along with hotels has beautified the Langtang region to bloom at its fullest, making Langtang as beautiful, safe, and secured as before the earthquake.

Benefits of Langtang Valley Trek

The first thing a trekker sets in his/her mind while thinking about trekking is no doubt Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek or to some may be Round Annapurna Trek, but these trails are moderately difficult along with more time consuming and a bit expensive in terms of money.

Of course, the Langtang valley trek can be an optional trail for many! Now the question may arise why?

To answer your queries, there are certain benefits of trekking into Langtang valley. Some of them that matter a lot for trekkers will be a beauty! Langtang is close to the main city of Kathmandu. Trekkers can reach the starting point of the trail in just 7 hours from Kathmandu. This drive will be through nature and culture, along with the Himalayas.

Moreover, the trail of the Langtang valley is filled with varied vegetation, Tamang culture, and of course the Himalayas. Fewer trekkers dream of exploring the Langtang region which makes Langtang a less crowded trail than the Everest or the Annapurna region.

Langtang trek is cheaper in terms of price, this is due to the short distance from the main city Kathmandu and also the number of days required for the trek is lesser.

Another thing is Langtang valley trek is simple without any prior trekking experience and there is nothing special permit requirement to trek. This can be accomplished by any age group and gender, making this a family trek covering the camp with 5-6 hours of hike every day, and the entire trek can be completed within 6-7 days in a smooth way.

No matter, when you are trekking Langtang valley, there is always a better option to select teahouse and lodges, with your own selected rooms facing the Himalayas.

Due to fewer trekkers, Langtang valley provides a number of excellent teahouses and lodges run by family members. Trekkers will not be worried about sharing a twin-bed room with the unknown nor will they be worried about waiting in queue for meals.

The other thing never to miss about the Langtang trek is the culture of the local people. The majority of inhabitants are Tamang, an ethnic group that migrated from Tibet. They have their own culture, religion, and custom, similar to Tibet.

This makes Langtang a semi-Tibet trek in terms of culture and religion. People are friendly and helpful, their hospitality makes you feel at home away from home.

Now, last but not least about the Langtang trek is its diversity, not only with nature and culture but also with trails. Trekkers will have multiple options to divert the trekking trail.

They can convert this short trek into the Gosaikunda trek, Helambu trek, Langtang valley trek, or Chisapani-Sundarijal trek or can end up with Lauribinayak Pass, which is a very popular destination.

Highlights of Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trek is one of the shortest trails in one of the fabulous trekking trails of the Langtang region. This trek can start with a guided city tour to some of the UNESCO world heritage sites of Nepal.

This will be an off-the-beaten trek in a sense less trekker trek into the Langtang region. There are diverse trails, which help trekkers to end up in different locations. Filled up with varied vegetation and the high Himalayas, the Langtang valley trek is a low-risk trail into the lower altitude but with a hike to Tserko Ri Peak (5033m/ 16513ft).

Langtang trek is a thrilling adventure with a steady climb and panoramic view, followed by rich vegetation and exotic culture and religion. Mainly inhabited by the Tamang community, whose descendent can be traced back to Tibet, still holding their age-old culture and religion.

Apart from all these, Langtang Trail offers pictures of post-earthquake (2015 AD) development and local hospitality. Your visit will help them to regain their dignity after a great loss in the earthquake. In other words, your trek will help them regain their loss in some way.

How safe is Langtang Valley Treks

Langtang Valley Trek is one of the shortest treks in the entire Langtang region and is also closely located with the main city of Kathmandu.

Langtang Trek can be accomplished within a short span of around 7-8 days for any novice and can be customized for 5-6 days for regular trekkers. The trail is fair enough leading you into numerous villages of Tamang settlement. This is the regular trial for locals as well.

With the majestic view of nature, the Himalayas, and exotic culture the trail will take you to the highest altitude of 3800m which is Kyangjing Gompa for an overnight stay.

Further, a day hike will take you to Tserko Ri Peak (5033m). This will be the highest altitude. Tserko Ri Peak is a great viewpoint for the panoramic view of the great Himalayas and the Langtang region itself.

Apart from the trail, there are a sufficient number of teahouses for accommodation and moreover, people are friendly and helpful. All the lodges and teahouses are run by native Tamang people. This makes us feel like a home away from home.

All this makes Langtang Valley Trek safe and easy-going at the low altitude mainly covering the villages of the Tamang community.

Best time for Langtang Valley trek

Langtang region can be trekked throughout the year due to its lower altitude, but to explore its exotic beauty spring, autumn and winter are the best season for Langtang valley trek.

Spring includes February-May, this time of the year will make you see greenery everywhere, with the clear Himalayas. Nature will bless with beautiful vegetation along with Himalayan flowers. And the temperature will be average with less sweety and cool morning and evening.

Apart from spring, Autumn is also one of the best times for the Langtang valley trek, this time of the year includes August-November. During these months, the temperature will be far better as we are to enter into winter.

Winter in Nepal is the month of December and January (snowfall), as Langtang Valley Trek is towards a low altitude, winter will be a fabulous month to trek with the clear blue sky and majestic views of the Himalayas and some snowfall as well. 

The trail will be clean with great views of the Himalayas, and clear blue sky along with snowfall very often which makes the Himalayas covered with snow along with villages. Although it gets snow the trail and view will be magnificent, no obstacle will occur to disturb the trek.

Useful Info

Accommodation on Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trek is a less crowded trekking destination, this is so because a lot of trekkers lack an idea about the beauty and variety of this Langtang region.

Now coming to the point about accommodation, the Langtang region has a sufficient number of teahouse and lodge facilities to accommodate trekkers, now more than it used to have before the devastating earthquake of 2015 AD.

Accommodation facilities mainly depend upon the altitude, the lower we are the more facilities we have and the higher we ascend the lesser we get but accommodation is normally tourist standard in teahouses and lodges, mainly operated by family members. This makes trekkers a family feel while staying in the teahouse.

Hotels have a twin bedroom, some attached but normally with a common toilet. Beds will be equipped with a good mattress, a blanket, bedsheet, and pillow along with a small table to keep water bottles, books, etc.

As the Langtang region is less crowded with trekkers, we will have the option to select our teahouse along with mountain-facing rooms, if lucky enough may find an attach-toilet as well.

Food during the Langtang valley trek

Langtang region is close to Kathmandu and also borders Tibet. Moreover, there is an international trade route called the ‘Kerung border’ close to Syabru Besi. All this makes the Langtang region a bit cheaper when it comes to food as compared with another trail to Annapurna and Everest region.

Foods throughout the Langtang trek will be fresh, mainly local, and hygienic. Every teahouse will have a menu card to select our own items for meals. This may vary from Nepali to Continental to Indian to Chinese to Tibetan to Italian.

Foods will be well cooked by professionals, as very often they are being trained in cooking techniques with the help of local government, the tourism board, and also the Langtang National Park project.

Drinks and Water on Langtang Valley Treks

Throughout the entire Langtang trek, we will find sufficient verities of drinks ranging from Coke, Sprite, and Fanta along with alcoholic drinks both branded and homemade. While hiking we will find shops, restaurants, and teahouses on the trail, they will have a sufficient amount of drinks and bottled water.

Apart from this, trekkers will also be able to buy bottled water in the tea house and lodges, along with purified water refilling facilities. But the price for all these items is a bit higher as compared to the city areas due to transportation facilities.

It is better recommended to carry a water bottle to refill or can use tap water but we need to make sure we use water purifying tablets or water filters to purify our water. So that we are not contaminated with any diseases.

Required Permits for Langtang Valley Treks Nepal

Langtang is a conserved region of Nepal with diverse vegetation and the high Himalayas bordering the autonomous region of Tibet. Along with this, there are around two dozen conserved areas in Nepal but Langtang is one of the first to be declared a conserved area.

To protect its biodiversity, the government of Nepal has made compulsory provision of a permit system for travellers trekking into all these regions and Langtang is one of them.

Trekkers are allowed to trek into the Langtang region with mandatory permits and there are checking camps on the trail as well. So, we need to make sure there is no shortcut without a permit.

Trekkers need two different permits for Langtang region trek: Langtang National Park permits which costs Rs 3000 or USD 30 and TIMS Permits (Trekkers’ Information Management System) which cost Rs 2000 or USD 20 for solo trekkers and for trekkers with a registered agency it cost Rs 1000 or USD 10.

These two Langtang National Park and TIMS permits are compulsory provisions, apart from this if trekkers want to divert their trail into Sundarijal, trekkers need to obtain Shivapuri National Park permits as well which cost USD 5, this can be obtained at the entry point of Shivapuri National Park permit as well.

List of Trekking Equipment for Langtang Valley Treks

Although the list of gears differs from each individual’s choices and interests, the list of equipment below is a general idea that provides some guidelines for gears to bring during your trek to Langtang valley trek.

Bringing clothes during the trek is all about how long you can go with the same clothes vs how often you want to change clean clothes and also the time of the year you trek.

However, we advise you to bring sufficient and warm enough clothes fit for much colder weather as mountain weather is always unpredictable and also the time of the year determines the temperature and the clothes to bring.

Just for your reminder, you can buy all these gears in Kathmandu as well and some can be hired too.

Trekking equipment

  • duffel bag
  • sleeping bag
  • Daypack bag to carry frequently needed stuff
  • Water bottle
  • Upper body
  • Short sleeve synthetic t-shirts (while trekking you sweat a lot so, synthetic t-shirts are best to bring as they are light and dry fast)
  • Wind shirts
  • Long sleeve Merino wool t-shirts
  • Synthetic insulated jacket (you can use it for climbing as well)
  • Fleece glove
  • Insulated gloves
  • Buff (trail gets very dusty with trekkers and animals passing by you so, you can use it as a mask)
  • Sunglass
  • Sun hat
  • Fleece hat
  • Rain gear or poncho.
  • Lower body
  • Trekking shoes (prober boots with grip is recommended as trail are rough so you might twist your ankle)

  • Underwear trousers
  • Underwear

Miscellaneous items

  • Items for drinking water treatments such as Steripen, iodine tablets, chlorine liquids, or water filters. (if you using liquids or tablets it might bring a different taste in water so you can bring some juice-powder to bring a nice taste)
  • Fast drying-camp towel (most guesthouses don't provide a towel for a shower so it's good to have one)
  • body wipes (it comes in handy if you don't take shower, especially in higher altitudes where there are no showers)
  • toilet papers
  • lip bam
  • sunscreens (minimum of SPF 40 plus as in higher altitude sunlight are direct and more penetrating.
  • Earplugs (it is handy stuff as most of the guest house rooms are separated by plywood. So, sometimes your next room trekkers might be noisy talkers or snorers.
  • Mobile phone (you can use it as an alarm or there are internet services in most of the guesthouses so, you can use it if you want to communicate)
  • Diary (to keep note of everyday events)
  • Chargers with adapter (you can charge your gadgets along the trail by hydro-powered electricity in the lower region and sun-powered in the higher region)
  • Camera
  • Medical kit (Diamox, Imodium, ibuprofen, throat lozenges, tape, scissor,
  • Zip-lock plastic bag (Although you put your all stuff in a duffel bag, however, Zip-lock bag can come in handy when you want to separate your items like toiletries, socks, underwear, and smelly clothes)
  • Headlamp or torchlight
  • Hand sanitiser
  • Trekking sticks (most people use them and it is very helpful while walking rocky trails and especially for knees going downhill.
  • Sandal
  • Pocket knife
  • Pee-bottle (it's handy if you don't want to go out of the room during the night)

Travel Insurance for Langtang valley trek

Travel Insurance is one of the essential means of safeguarding while travelling into the remote Himalayas of Nepal. Insurance helps to make you free and ensure your safe return, in other words, being insured ensures your freedom to travel.

Discover Altitude is not an insurance agent for selling any travel insurance policy. We only assist trekkers in times of urgency if occurred while trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal.

There is a large number of international insurance companies and trekkers who can buy policies online as well. Only the important point here to note is that the policy should cover their medical bills along with helicopter evacuation in time of emergency.

So, while buying a travel insurance policy they need to make sure about the highest altitude of the entire trek, which should be covered by the insurance policy in case of any health issue occurred.

This ensures your safety and also the burden of spending a large sum of money on rescue operations and medical bills. Discover Altitude only helps in arranging legal documents to refile the claim to the insurance company.

Last-minute booking for Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang region is closer to Kathmandu city, trekkers need to drive all the way to Syabrubesi (1550m), this makes the trek easy going into the Himalayas, there is no flight connection to the Langtang region.

So, prior flight booking won’t be a problem, all this makes last-minute booking possible for the entire Langtang region trek.

But trekkers must book the trip at least 24 hours before their trek, this is for documentation and trekking permits, which further can save an extra day in Kathmandu for obtaining permits.

Beautiful Nepal

Trekking with Narayan and his team was amazin! One of the best experiences of my life and aside from the vast landscapes and incredible views, the guides on this trip were so informative, humble and just beautiful people. I hope to visit with them again so day and can't recommend their tours enough!

A fantastic guide, an amazing Trek

WOW is all I can say about Ace. Udaya was an amazing guide and was perfect throughout the entire trek. He was friendly, super knowledgeable, and handled everything that I needed from gear to travel. They were always concerned about my comfort and seeing that a memorable trip was had by myself and my partner. I had a medical issue that caused him to both works into the night to get a resolution. Of course, being sick in a foreign country can be a scary ordeal, but it was handled professionally and worked out well.

I can say with certainty that they'll be at the top of my list for my next trip and I can say without reservation that I'd go with them again.

Excellent!

I am not an expert on trekking but I love it. From my experience, if you have a plan to trek, the important is you have to find a good guide and travel agency you can trust. I am lucky I found both. So if you have a plan in mind to go to Nepal.. just try to contact them. I believe that you will imprese on their service. 5 trips in Nepal since 2017.. until now I am looking forward to going back to trek with them again 😊
