Nestled in one of the unspoiled Langtang National Park, Langtang National Park is one of the most unspoiled, situated 19 miles north of Kathmandu near the Tibetan border. This trek is a relatively short and easy trek and perfect for those looking for a short trek who want to explore the Himalayan nature and culture. You will be trekking through a narrow valley located between the main Himalayan range to the north and Tibet along the lower range and snow-capped peaks toward the south. During your trek to Langtang Valley, you will get an opportunity to witness numerous snow-capped mountains, typical traditional villages, and hospitable local people. The whole trek is highly influenced by Buddhist culture, and you will find numerous gumba and mani walls.
Not sure about where to trek during the Nepal visit? That’s okay! We have the best alternative for you.
Nowadays, many tourists do not have much time for a holiday and expect more during the short trek. So, we are presenting you Langtang Valley Trek, which is amazing as other trekking. This trek is situated nearby Kathmandu valley, with the best blend of nature, culture, and mountains. What else do you wish during the trek? It is like a reward for those who have less time to spend their time in Nepal.
Langtang Valley Trek combines a venture into the beautifully remote valley of Langtang with high-altitude lakes, nature, and landscape. Majestic Himalayas enclose this remote valley with mountains like Langtang Lirung (7,345m), Gang Chhenpo (6,388m), Naya Kanga (5,846m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966m), Kimsung (6,781m), and Yansa Tsenji (6,575m). These gigantic mountains dominate the skyline while dense forests, beautiful villages, and deep gorges of Bhote Koshi and Langtang Khola prevail on the valley floor.
This trek also passes through the beautiful Langtang National Park. The national park is well decorated with colorful rhododendron, oak, maple, and alder tree forests. If you are lucky, then there will be an opportunity to encounter some wildlife, including black bears, red pandas, monkeys, musk deer, and many more. The upper part of Langtang is also the breeding ground for Tibetan snow cock and snow partridge.
This trek is also perfect for those looking to delve into the culture and lifestyle of indigenous locals. During the Langtang Valley Trek in Nepal Himalayas, you will witness the unique traditional culture of the Tamang and Sherpa people. You will also witness small communities of local Tibetan-influenced villages, lifestyles, and warm hospitality.
Embarking from Kathmandu, the Langtang valley, dominated by Langtang Lirung, is the closest way to see the sights of snowcapped mountains and frozen glaciers. The trail generally starts from Syabrubesi and leads you past the Lama Hotel, Langtang Village, and the ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa, situated near Tserko for the next few days.
Also known as the valley of glaciers trek, this trail offers superb panoramic views of Langtang Range – Dorje Lakpa, Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri, Langtang Lirung, and Shishapangma. We spend a day resting and perhaps hiking to the top of Tserko Ri to enjoy glorious views of sunrise and sunsets. Revitalized, we attempt to summit Yala peak and then retrace our steps back to base camp afterward. We make our way through the rhododendron-laden paths back to Langtang village through the oak, pine, and maple forests.
We enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the locals as we pass through numerous Tamang and Sherpa villages on our way. Their unique culture, tradition, and lifestyle will be an interesting experience, especially for newcomers. Our journey comes to an end as we trek all the way back to Dhunche and catch a bus to the capital.
The Langtang Valley trek can be performed as a tea house or camping trek. It is a moderate difficulty trek, with most of the trail being fairly easy and the only challenging part being the ascent to Yala peak. It is a good experience for both first-timers and experienced climbers alike. The Langtang region was devastated by the brunt of the force of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. The locals have been steadily rebuilding what they can, but life is still not easy there. You will be directly contributing to their efforts through the local economy just by visiting.
Langtang Valley Trek is about 62 km North far from Kathmandu. This short trek takes you through the lap of the Langtang Himalayas and hospitable local peoples. But what about the Langtang Trek Difficulty?
Langtang Valley Trek is rated as a moderate trek in terms of duration and terrain types. All people want to soak in nature by traveling to different places. But there is always something problem occurs as barrier while traveling. Some are not physically capable, and some are expensive. However, this trek has an average value in difficulty, or we can say below average.
Still, you must be well prepared for lots of things while going to the mountain. There may be various risks and complications waiting for us. Below I will try to explain the day-to-day activity and terrain types.
On the first day of trekking, you will find some steep trials, but the walk is easy this day. It takes about 6-7 hours to reach Lama Hotel and gain about 800m altitudes. The next day, the uphill trail continues, and most of the time, you will walk around 6-7 hours. This day you will reach Langtang village, and the altitude gained this day is about 860 m. The third day of the trek takes you to Kyangjin Gompa, and this will be the highest point where you will be staying. This day you will only walk about 4 hours with an altitude gained 450 m.
During this trek, you will mostly walk uphill during the 2nd and 3rd days of the trek. Drink plenty of water during the trek because dehydration makes your body weak. It may also result in low oxygen to the body and then altitude sickness. So, always carry a water bottle full of treated water.
You will feel pressure on the knee during the downhill, so it’s better to use trekking poles. You will be walking about 6-7 hours downhill, so it will be better to wear kneecaps too so that the knee will have low pressure.
There are two best seasons to trek Langtang Valley Trek in the year. During the Spring, the trek can be done from March to May. While in autumn, it can be done from September to November. These are the best season to do Langtang Valley Trek.
Each of these trekking seasons has something very different to offer during the trek. It includes different terrain, difficulty, weather, and scenery. In a nutshell, let us tell you about subtle differences you will get in these different seasons of the year. This will suddenly help you to plan your trek better.
Spring Season in Nepal falls from March to May and is very stable and dry with a moderate climate. During this month, you will experience fairly perfect trekking, which offers a crystal clear view of mountains and sceneries every day. You will see a lot of crowd in the trial as this season is best to climb mountains.
The temperature will reach around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius in the daytime and drop to 0 to -2 degrees celsius at night time. You will also be welcomed with thousands of flora and vegetation that make the Langtang Valley Trek more beautiful and enjoyable. This month is also the best to view the decorative rhododendron and may spot beautiful birds.
Summer in Nepal falls in the month from June to August. During these months, you will also experience the Monsoon rain, which makes the treks nearly impossible. These months usually do not attract tourists to the Himalayas. The rains in the hilly area wash the bridges, slippery trails, leeches, and landslides.
Autumn is another best season of Langtang Valley Trek. Autumn falls in the month from September to November. The weather will be perfect, and the view of the surroundings will be unforgettable. During the initial month of September, you may experience the leftover Monsoon. As of October starts, your door to this trek will be clear.
During those months, the temperature will reach around 14 to 20 degrees in the daytime and decrease from -2 to -5 degrees celsius during the night.
Winter in Nepal falls from December to February. Trekking to higher altitudes will be challenging during the trek. The temporary Teahouse lodge will also remain close during the winter. So, Langtang Valley Trek is impossible to trek in the winter season.
