Langtang trek is one of the most popular trek in Nepal, known for its unique Tibetan and Tamang culture, alpine biodiversity and beautiful views of Langtang Himalayan range.

You will hike up to Kyanjin Gompa and from there explore Kyanjin Ri (4350m) and capture breathtaking views of Langtang mountains. You will also visit beautiful villages of Syabrubesi, Lama Hotel, Sherpa Gaon and especially Langtang Village which was completely destroyed by the 2015 earthquake.

FAQs

The Langtang Trek is generally rated moderate. The trails are well-defined and don’t require technical climbing, but you’ll still be walking 5–7 hours a day with plenty of uphill and downhill. The elevation gain is gradual, but you’ll reach heights of around 3870m. at Kyanjin Gompa, and can optionally ascend to over 4,800 meters at Tserko Ri. Trekkers should have decent fitness and some hiking experience, although first-timers in good health can also complete it comfortably with proper preparation.

A typical Langtang Trek takes about 7 to 10 days, including travel to and from the trailhead. The standard route starts in Syabrubesi, ascends through villages like Lama Hotel and Langtang Village, reaches Kyanjin Gompa, and returns via the same trail. Many trekkers add an extra day or two for acclimatization or side trips like Tserko Ri or Kyanjin Ri for breathtaking views.

The best seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring offers pleasant temperatures, blooming rhododendrons, and lush greenery, while autumn brings clear skies, stable weather, and jaw-dropping Himalayan views. Winter (December to February) is possible too, but expect snow and freezing nights. Monsoon season (June to August) is generally discouraged due to slippery trails, leeches, and obstructed views.

Langtang is incredibly diverse in terms of landscape. You’ll start trekking through subtropical forests, pass by thundering rivers, and walk through dense pine and bamboo groves. As you ascend, the terrain transforms into alpine meadows, glacial valleys, and towering snow-capped peaks like Langtang Lirung (7227m.). You’ll also see yaks grazing in the highlands, and if you're lucky, you might spot red pandas or Himalayan monals in the forest areas.

You’ll need two key permits:

  • Langtang National Park Entry Permit: Approx. NPR 3,000 for foreigners.
  • TIMS Card (Trekkers' Information Management System): Approx. NPR 2,000.

The Langtang region is well-equipped with teahouses, which are small family-run lodges offering simple rooms, basic amenities, and home-cooked meals. Rooms typically have twin beds, shared bathrooms, and solar-heated hot showers (sometimes at extra cost). Teahouses at higher elevations are more basic, but you’ll always find a warm dining area and friendly service.

Yes, especially beyond 3000 meters. The highest overnight stay is usually at Kyanjin Gompa (3870 m.), and optional side hikes go even higher. Altitude sickness symptoms can include headache, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. To prevent AMS, walk slowly, hydrate well, and take an acclimatization day at Kyanjin before climbing higher. If symptoms worsen, descend immediately.

Langtang Valley is primarily inhabited by Tamang people, an ethnic group of Tibetan origin. You’ll encounter Buddhist monasteries, mani walls, prayer wheels, and chortens throughout the trail. Staying in family-run teahouses allows for a firsthand glimpse into rural Himalayan life. In Kyanjin Gompa, you can visit an ancient monastery and a local cheese factory built with Swiss assistance.

The Langtang region was one of the hardest hit by the 2015 earthquake, especially Langtang Village. However, the area has been rebuilt and is now safe for trekking. Many new and safer trails and teahouses have been constructed, and tourism has returned. Visiting the region today helps support continued recovery and honors the memory of those lost.

An experienced and highly professional climbing guide will be assigned to each climbing member. All necessary logistics will be taken care from our side. However, we expect to maintain good health and physical condition as well as well good mental preparation from your side.
