Lantang Valley Trek is a classic trek in Nepal showcasing Tamang culture, pristine wildlife and nature and magnificent views of snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Situated next to Nepal-Tibet border, this is the nearest trek from Kathmandu Valley with easy road access.

The major highlight of the Langtang Valley Trek is the breathtaking views of Langtang & Ganesh Himal Ranges and Langtang Glacier, adventurous hike through  Langtang National Park and a memorable visit to Kyangjin Gompa at the altitude of 3870m . Langtang National Park, one of the oldest parks in Nepal, is home to the rare and endangered Red Panda, Snow Leopard and Himalayan Black Bear. Kyangjin Gompa is the best viewpoint to witness Dorje Lakpa (6990m), Langtang Ri (6370m) and Langtang Lirung (7245m).

Described as 'the most beautiful valley in the world' by adventurer and writer Bill Tilman, other attractions of Langtang Valley Trek include the influence of Tibetan culture and history on local community, ancient Buddhist relics, yak trail as well as local cheese factory. Langtang Valley trail is an easy trek suitable for all age groups, from young to elderly, and it can be done any time of the year.

Langtang Valley Trek Altitude Profile

FAQs

This trek is considered moderate in difficulty. There are no technical climbs or extreme passes, but trekkers walk for 5–7 hours daily on mountain trails that involve gradual but steady ascents. The highest sleeping point is Kyanjin Gompa at 3870 meters, with optional side hikes up to Tserko Ri (4984m) or Kyanjin Ri (4773m.). It’s suitable for fit beginners and experienced trekkers alike, especially with proper acclimatization and pacing.

The trek typically takes 7 to 10 days, depending on your itinerary, walking pace, and whether you add rest or side-trip days

The ideal times are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). In spring, the forests come alive with blooming rhododendrons and wildflowers. Autumn offers the clearest skies and crisp mountain views.

Winter (December–February) is possible but brings cold weather and snow at higher altitudes. Monsoon season (June–August) is lush and green but often cloudy, wet, and muddy, with potential landslides.

You’ll need two essential permits:

  • Langtang National Park Entry Permit 
  • TIMS Card (Trekkers’ Information Management System) 

The highest overnight point is Kyanjin Gompa at 3870 meters, but many trekkers take a day hike to Tserko Ri (4,984m) or Kyanjin Ri (4,773m) for spectacular panoramic views. While the base trek is relatively safe from severe altitude illness, side hikes to these peaks can pose some risk. Acclimatization and pacing are key.

Yes, Altitude Sickness (AMS) can affect trekkers above 2500 meters. The trek's gradual ascent helps with acclimatization, but symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue can occur—especially if you rush. Spending an extra night at Kyanjin Gompa before attempting high viewpoints is strongly recommended. Drink plenty of fluids, walk slowly, and listen to your body.
 

The trek passes through Tamang villages, where you'll see traditional houses, ancient monasteries, prayer wheels, and Buddhist chortens. The Tamang people have Tibetan roots, and their language, dress, and spiritual practices reflect that heritage. Kyanjin Gompa, a small monastery surrounded by glaciers and peaks, offers a spiritual and scenic highlight. Interacting with locals, staying in family-run teahouses, and participating in their daily life is a huge part of the trek’s charm.

Yes, the Langtang Valley is safe and open for trekking. The 2015 earthquake caused massive damage and loss of life in the region, especially in Langtang Village. However, thanks to international support and local resilience, the villages and trails have been rebuilt stronger and safer. Visiting Langtang today not only honors the memory of those lost but directly supports the communities working to thrive again.

Langtang sees fewer trekkers than the Everest or Annapurna regions, which makes it ideal for those seeking peace, quiet, and unspoiled nature. During peak seasons (October–November and March–April), you’ll still meet fellow trekkers, but the trails and teahouses never feel overcrowded. This balance of accessibility and tranquility is one of the trek’s strongest draws.

Nepal Environmental Treks & Expedition ensures you to provide a well planned itinerary for Langtang valley trek. 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.
