The Langtang Trek is a mesmerizing journey through the Langtang Valley, renowned for its tranquil ambiance, stunning mountain vistas, and rich cultural heritage. Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas, this trek offers an unforgettable experience for adventurers seeking both natural beauty and cultural immersion.
The highlight of the Langtang Trek is undoubtedly the breathtaking scenery that unfolds along the route. From lush forests and cascading waterfalls to picturesque valleys and towering peaks, every step of the journey offers a feast for the senses. Additionally, encounters with the warm and hospitable local communities, including the Tamang people, provide a glimpse into the vibrant culture of the region.
For beginners, an ideal itinerary for the Langtang Trek typically spans around 7 to 10 days. Starting from Syabrubesi, trekkers gradually ascend through Lama Hotel and Langtang Valley before reaching the picturesque village of Kyanjin Gompa. After exploring the area and soaking in the breathtaking views, the trek retraces its steps back to Syabrubesi, culminating in a rewarding journey filled with unforgettable experiences.
The best time to embark on the Langtang Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons when the weather is mild and stable, offering clear skies and optimal trekking conditions. During the trek, travelers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of the region, including traditional practices, festivals, and rituals of the local communities. From Buddhist monasteries to prayer flags fluttering in the mountain breeze, every aspect of the Langtang Trek is infused with the vibrant spirit of Himalayan culture.
When planning your Langtang trek, it's important to know about the permit fees required. These fees cover access to Langtang National Park and the TIMS CARD (Trekking Information Management System).
To enter Langtang National Park, you'll need to pay around USD $30 per person. This fee can be obtained from the Department of National Park in Kathmandu or even at Dunche on your way to Syabrubesi.
The TIMS CARD, costing approximately USD $10 per person, is essential for trekking in Nepal. It's issued by registered trekking agencies in Kathmandu.
However, when you book your Langtang trek package with us, these permit fees are included. We take care of all the necessary paperwork and services, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our trekkers.
When you join our Langtang trek, it's important to know about meals and accommodation. Our packages don't include meals, so guests order from the menu and pay for their food at each tea house. This setup makes it easier and more affordable for guests.
We provide a guide/porter and accommodation during the trek. Each lodge offers comfortable rooms and shared bathrooms, ensuring a pleasant stay for our guests.
When you trek with us, you'll have a guide and porter to assist you every step of the way. Our guides are licensed professionals who know the Langtang region well. They speak English fluently and provide valuable information about the area.
For every two guests, we provide one porter to carry luggage, ensuring you can trek comfortably. If there are more than five guests, we add an extra assistant to make your journey smoother.
Your guide will give you daily briefings about the trek ahead and share interesting facts about the nature and culture of Langtang. They're here to make your holiday experience enjoyable and memorable.
When you book with us, we arrange transportation for the start and end of your trek. Our standard package includes local bus transportation from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, where the trek begins, and the same transportation back from Syabrubesi to Kathmandu at the end.
However, if you prefer, we can also arrange private transportation from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi and back again. Just let us know your preference, and we'll make the arrangements accordingly.
It takes about 9 hours on a bus for us to reach Syabru besi. Since tourist buses do not travel to this region we make our journey in a local bus, overnight stay in Syabrubesi. We provide the private transportation up on your services requested.
Today we walk along the Langtang river, continue hiking across waterfalls and finally stop in Rimche before the trail descends to a settlement known as the Lama Hotel.
A three hours hike from Lama Hotel takes us to Ghortabela and another 30 minutes of climbing brings us to a point where the Langtang Valley begins.
From Langtang, it takes us about four hours of gentle ascension to reach Kyangin Gompa.
A day in Kyangin Gompa gives us the opportunity to visit the famous Kyangin Monastery and visit CHERKO RI 4,984m, After visiting the monastery we always have the option of going to the Yala cheese factory or the small lake behind Yala.
After breakfast in Kyangin Gompa retrace our steps to Lama Hotel.
Today we head back to Syabru Besi while following the same trail along side the Langtang river.
A long bus ride (about 9 hours) brings us back to Kathmandu from Syabru Besi. Once in Kathmandu you have the option of being transferred to the airport or staying at a hotel in Kathmandu.
Note: The itinerary mentioned above is flexible and can be customized according to your specific preferences. Whether you want to shorten or lengthen your holiday, we can tailor your trip to suit your needs. Just let us know your preferences, and we'll design your holiday accordingly.
Water: Mineral waters are available at all stops during tea house treks (paying your own). You can also use tap water if you choose to use water purification tablets.
Medical support: An emergency first aid kit is carried by the support staff at all times.
Food on tea house trek: During tea house treks our guests pay for their own food (breakfast/lunch/dinner) at the lodge. It can be about USD $25 each day per person. You can choose your own meal as a menu in every tea house.
Travel Insurance is mandatory for all clients who choose to trek or climb with us. The insurance should cover you in case of emergencies like accidents, altitude sickness, and ambulance and helicopter rescue charges if required.

The Langtang Trek is considered moderate in difficulty, suitable for trekkers with a reasonable level of fitness. While there are some steep ascents and descents, the trail is well-defined and manageable for most people with a bit of trekking experience.
The walking distance varies each day, but on average, trekkers cover around 10 to 15 kilometers per day, depending on the itinerary.
Answer: Trekkers typically walk for around 5 to 7 hours per day, including breaks for rest and meals. The duration may vary depending on the terrain and the pace of the group.
The highest point on the Langtang Trek is Kyanjin Gompa, which sits at an altitude of approximately 3,870 meters (12,697 feet) above sea level.
To prevent altitude sickness, it's essential to acclimatize properly by ascending gradually, staying hydrated, and listening to your body. Our experienced guides are trained to recognize symptoms of altitude sickness and will provide assistance if needed.

Amazing Team to Ensure a Fun Experience This is our second time engaging Peace Nepal Trek’s services, the first in Nov 2018 for the Annapurna Base Camp trail, and this time round a six-day hike to Langtang Valley. We came with a group of seven people, Nir greeted us at the airport and sent us to the hotel before discussing our trek over lunch with our guide. The next morning we took the bus to SyabruBesi to start our trek. Our guide, Prem, was quiet at first but slowly warmed up and was grea ... + See more t to be with. Along the hike, he provided us with Water Purifying Tablets and Altitude Sickness Pills. Anytime our members don’t feel too well, Prem made sure they are attended to immediately. On the fifth day, one of our participants injured his leg during the hike and Prem was especially thoughtful. He allowed him to rest while the rest of the group continued, and assigned one porter to look after all his needs. After the hike, we returned to Kathmandu in the private jeep, and the next day Nir picked us up from the hotel back to the airport. Overall, we are very thankful to have engaged the Peace Nepal Treks team. They have been very attentive to our needs. Prem, our guide is also very experienced (16 years) and hence it was very reassuring to have him with us. Even though we have been with Peace Nepal Trek on a previous trip, they still managed to exceed our expectations every day with small yet unexpected gestures. You can see that they really put in a lot of effort to ensure that we will have a good trip. ... - See less

2-week tour of Langtang Valley, Yala Peak climb, and Thulo Parsel visit After a very positive experience at Annapurna Base Camp in 2016 with Peace Nepal Trek, we decided to engage them again this year on a more challenging trek through Langtang Valley and up Yala Peak (5520m). Once again they lived up to their expectation. Everything was well planned for from the moment we landed in Kathmandu, with Nir himself picking us up from the airport. Since it was the winter season, they personally brought us to the gear rental shops in Thamel and made 100% sure that we are well equipped to trek in the cold weather. The guides and porters were very friendly as well and brought much laughter to our group throughout the entire journey through Langtang Valley. When it comes to trekking and hiking, safety is of the utmost priority and the guides and porters from Peace Nepal are very experienced and professional in this aspect. At any point of time, there will be at least someone accompanying the slowest person in our group, making sure that that person arrives at the next destination safely. Despite being one of the top trekking agencies in Nepal, Peace Nepal Trek offers a very competitive price for their packages compared to other agencies without compromising on the quality of their service. Highly recommended for a fuss-free and pleasant touring experience in Nepal - Fast response - able to communicate in English. no language barrier - Many kinds of tour packages with various difficulty levels - Personalised touch from Nir and his team of guides and porters. Many of us remain in contact with them after our trip
Enjoy the popular trekking and tour packages in Nepal Himalayas. 2025.
