The Langtang Valley Trek takes you through the Langtang National Park, directly north of Kathmandu. The central Himalayas include amazing mountain vistas, medieval monasteries and wonderful glaciers. Walking along the banks of the Langtang river, walking through the wonderful Rhododendron forests to various glacial lakes will be an adventure that will be etched into your memory forever. The highest spot on the trek is at Tserko Ri at a massive altitude of 4984m. The amazing views of the Lantang mountain ranges and valley and the possibility of being able to see the elusive red Panda make this trip exceptional. The meadows seen in this region we see horses and donkeys grazing along with Yaks and other fauna. Nomadic camps can be seen in the region as well.
We also get to visit one of the Yak Cheese factories in the region selling authentic Yak cheese and an old Buddhist monastery in Kyanjing Gompa, which also offers wonderful views of Ganchenpo Ri, Langsisha Ri and others. This will be our home for two nights as we make a day hike to Chortari Ri and Tserko Ri the next day with amazing views of the Himalayan lakes, glaciers and peaks. The beauty of this region is truly seen from Tserko Ri. After our day hike, we return to Kyanjin Gompa. The green hilly views here are amazing to take in.
With wonderful views of the central Himalaya along with the exploration of the culture of the Tamang and Sherpa people as well as the ancient Buddhist monasteries and glacial lakes, this trip is a must for any trekking enthusiast!
A representative from our company will meet and greet you at the airport as soon as you land in Kathmandu. We will see to it that your travel requirements are met once you are in our care. Given that there are no planned activities for the day, we will assist you in checking into the hotel that we have reserved for you. You have the option of taking a stroll around the neighborhood or relaxing in each of your rooms. You can go for some needed shopping for trekking materials if you haven’t done so yet. You will be briefed about your trek with our guide.
Waking up early and grabbing breakfast we drive northwards from Kathmandu to Syaprebesi via road. We take the Trishuli Highway which snakes the Trishuli river. Many villages and towns are crossed en route. We grab lunch at Trishuli Bazaar, a famous town in the region nearby the river. Fish from the Trishuli river is very famous. After crossing the bazaar, we reach several checkposts. The road becomes narrow as we ascend the offroad track. Then we reach the Army checkpost at Dunche where we get the entry permit for the Langtang National Park. The army will check your bags thoroughly as this is a checkpoint for the road that comes through tibet also. The tibet border is only around 20 kilometers away from the checkpoint. From here we travel down to Syaprebesi. The road here is not in the best condition which is why the short distance takes very long to travel. We explore around the town of Syaprebesi. A small river view point along with water taps where hot water flows can be found here. We stay over in one of the hotels for the night.
After we wake up in Syaprebesi, we grab breakfast and officially begin our trek. Crossing a bridge, we can take either the trekking trail or the main road. The short trekking trail is quite risky as stone falls and landslides are quite common here thus we take the main road as its much safer. Walking along the road we see numerous waterfalls decking the road. We see hydropower construction going on in the region and take the trekking trail from where the main road stops. After crossing through a scenic waterfall we reach Dovan via Pairo. Here the routes to Thulo Syapru, which leads to Gosain Kunda and Lantang separate. We take the route to Lantang. Walking for some time we reach Bamboo a riverside village, where we take lunch for the day. Along the route we can see cliffsides with large honey bee hives. Walking through forest trails we ascend to a suspension bridge and going up and down we reach Rimche. Around Rimche are lots of Langur monkeys around. Walking further along a similar trail we reach Lama Hotel. The accommodations in Lama hotel are very basic as it lies within the core Lantang Conservation area.
From Lama Hotel, we grab an early breakfast and ascend forest trails, and walk beside the Langtang River. The trail initially today is also similar to the trail we took yesterday Along the route is the River View Tea Shop, which lies next to the river between two ridges. Grabbing tea and refreshments we move ahead. Ascending further, the closed tree line opens up to a shrubby area where most vegetation is low. Further, we reach Ghoda Tabela where we see amazing views of Langtang I and Langtang II along with Ganchenpo ahead. We grab lunch here at the village and reach Thyangsyap where the view of the Langtang valley is very picturesque. If we weren’t hungry at Ghoda Tabela we can grab lunch at Thangsyap instead. We also see the Changbu Peak. After walking further we cross a small village called Sherpa Danda and reach Langtang Village. A memorial commemorating the lives lost during the avalanche caused by the 2015 Nepal Earthquake is found here. If we choose to stay overnight at Mundu instead, we need to walk further for around half an hour and climb another 150m altitude. Yak can be seen grazing in the village of Mundu. You can spend the rest of the day exploring Mundu or Langtang Village. We stay overnight here.
Getting up early, we are greeted by the mountains in the central Himalaya. We begin after breakfast, walking through the valley and follow the Lantang river. A teahouse is seen en route. Nearby is also a large boulder upon which Guru Rinpoche is said to have meditated. Rumous of his footprint are seen here also. We cross the village, and see numerous Yak and goats. We cross a suspension bridge and walk to reach Kyanjin Gumpa. An amazing view of the Lantang Lirung glacier is seen from the route right after crossing the suspension bridge. This glacier is where many rookie peak climbers train for their mountain adventures. At Kyanjin gumba we grab lunch, visit a small bakery and a factory selling real Yak Cheese freshly made. Tibetan influence and ancestry is apparent in this region. We stay overnight at Kyanjin Gumba.
Today we have two options for our trek, either to Kyangjin Ri or to Cherkhuri Ri (Tsergo Ri). Kyangjin Ri is slightly shorter however views from Tsergo Ri are much better. We grab a very early breakfast and begin our ascend.
Option 1: Kyangjin Ri
As we ascend to Kyangjin Ri, we get views of Ganjala Peak, Ganjala Pass, Lantang Peaks, and Yala Pass. We also see the Cherko Ri. Towards our back lie the amazing Himalayas when walking. At the top of Kyangjin Ri, we see amazing 360-degree views of the Himalayas that surround us. After taking our fill of the amazing scenery, we return to our lodge for lunch and explore the monastery and the village.
There are two Kyanjin Ri peaks, the lower Kyanjin Ri lies only at 4200m while the upper goes up to 4600m. The Kyanjin Ri peaks make for amazing short burst hikes that do not take all day.
Option 2: Cherkhuri Ri (Tsergo Ri)
Moving towards Cherkhuri Ri (Tsergo Ri), we take a packed lunch and see where Guru Rinpoche's footprint can be found. We cross a river, and climb steeply along the trail, seeing amazing backgrounds of Lantang Peak, Ganjala Peak, Ganchenpo Peak, Nayakhang Peak, and Lantang Valley. When we reach the top, we see the best 360 views of the Himalayas including Sisapangba, which lies in Tibet, and Langsisa, Dorje Lakpa which lies in Nepal. We take our packed lunch amid the wonderful views and can even feed birds perch atop the hill. Descending is quite difficult as the trail becomes slippery in winter. Climbing Cherko Ri is almost impossible during the winter. Most describe the final ascent and initial descent of Cherko Ri as being the most difficult due to the ice and altitude.
We return to Kyangjin Gumba for the night.
Waking up early and grabbing breakfast, we begin our descent to Lama Hotel. We take the same route to descend. Sometimes Yaks can be seen butting heads on the road which makes for an exciting experience. The downward trail will be relatively easier as we see valleys ahead. As we get back to Lama Hotel we explore the nearby areas and spend our night here. The trek today is very long and you might feel very tired today after descending more than 1200m with almost 23 km of walking. Be careful along slippery rockfall areas and be sure to give way to yaks and mules traversing the trekking route. Even though today is long, it is completely doable and we can have an amazing rest at Lama Hotel as the next day we reach the bustling town of Syaprubesi.
After grabbing breakfast we begin descending to Syabrubesi. The trail is the same as the first day however when descending our muscles may tire. We have to take care to step properly and not apply a large amount of pressure to our knees. We cross the arduous trail at Bamboo where we can grab lunch if we are hungry. As we reach Pairo and cross over to Dovan, we are greeted by the familiar road route which now makes the route easy.
We take a drive from Syabrubesi back to Kathmandu. Following the scenic trail. Again we have to stop at numerous army checkpoints and police checkpoints to register that we have completed the trek and are safe. We can stop by for lunch near Trishuli also or in the bustling town of Bidur. Depending on the road traffic and conditions, there are numerous ways to reach Kathmandu. On a clear day, the route is vibrant and we can even see the many central Himalayan mountains from the vehicle. We reach Kathmandu in the evening and you will be free to enjoy the amazing completion of the Lantang Valley Trek in Kathmandu.
Today's schedule includes visits to Swayambhunath, also known as the monkey Temple, Pashupatinath, one of Nepal's largest temples, and Bouddhanath, a large and ancient stupa.
Pashupatinath Temple: One of the oldest Hindu temples, Pashupatinath Temple, is dedicated to Lord Shiva, also known as the "Lord of All Beings." Lord Shiva is the embodiment of the universe's destructive aspect. The Pashupatinath complex is traversed by the revered Bagmati river. For those who pass away on the banks of the river, cremation rites are performed by the majority of Hindus in the Kathmandu Valley.
Swayambhunath Stupa: One of the most revered Buddhist stupas in Nepal is the Swayambhunath stupa. It is believed to have come into existence when the Bodhisattva Manjushri used his flaming sword to dig a canyon at Chhobhar in order to drain the waters of the enormous lake that was Kathmandu in antiquity.
Bouddhanath Stupa: The 2500-year-old Buddhist stupa in the Valley, Bouddhanath, was built in the fifth century, and on top are Lord Buddha's four pairs of eyes, which are placed in the four cardinal directions. This stupa continuously observes people and their behavior. As they round the stupa, Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims may be seen spinning prayer wheels.
After finishing the journey through the Langtang Valley, it's time to bid Nepal farewell. Three hours before to your scheduled international flight to your next destination, you will be taken to the international airport. We sincerely hope that our travels in the Everest Himalaya have left you with lifelong memories. You can extend your stay in Nepal if you'd want to visit all of the fascinating places the country has to offer. We sincerely hope you will appreciate the time we had together and recommend us to your friends and family for their trip to Nepal to go trekking.

In mid-June, our family of five traveled to Nepal to climb the Langtang Valley Trek. We chose Accessible Adventure since we have three little children under the age of ten. Himal, the owner, was well organized and arranged various family trekking choices for us. Ram, our trekking guide, was well informed about the region, culture, food, and geology. He was highly adaptable and accommodating to our children's needs. Shyam, our guide, was exceedingly patient and calm while carrying our 3-year-old. We were grateful to Accessible Adventure for providing two people, Namaraj and Sandeep, to carry our baggage. Our kids had a terrific time trekking the Langtang Valley Trek with them. This 10-day walk was just the right amount of difficulty for our kids. We had serious chats while trekking, singing songs, and playing cards in the tea houses at night.
If you are considering a vacation to Nepal, we recommend the Accessible Adventure and Ram. If you want to learn more about our successful family hike, check out our Nepal vlogs on YouTube.

The Langtang Valley Trek, often referred to as the “Valley of Glaciers,” is one of Nepal’s most captivating trekking routes. Situated north of Kathmandu, in the Langtang National Park, this trek offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and adventure. From lush forests and quaint Tamang villages to panoramic views of majestic Himalayan peaks, the Langtang Valley Trek is a journey that enthralls trekkers at every step. Accessible Adventure, a trusted trekking and travel partner, ensures this experience is seamless, safe, and unforgettable.
Choosing the Langtang Valley Trek means embarking on a journey that takes you through one of the most pristine and lesser-explored regions of Nepal. Unlike the bustling trails of Annapurna or Everest, Langtang provides a tranquil escape into unspoiled wilderness. This trek is especially renowned for its breathtaking views of towering peaks such as Langtang Lirung (7,227 m), Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa. The changing terrain—from dense rhododendron and bamboo forests to alpine meadows and rugged glacial paths—makes this trek both diverse and rewarding.
The Langtang Valley is not only a haven for nature enthusiasts but also a living museum of Tamang culture. The Tamang people, who have lived in this region for centuries, offer trekkers a chance to delve into their unique traditions, vibrant festivals, and warm hospitality. As you walk through villages like Langtang and Kyanjin Gompa, you’ll encounter colorful prayer flags, intricately carved mani walls, and sacred monasteries that reflect the spiritual richness of the region.
Accessible Adventure elevates this already magical trek by providing expert guidance, personalized itineraries, and inclusive services. With a focus on safety, comfort, and sustainability, we ensure that trekkers of all experience levels can partake in this Himalayan journey. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a first-time trekker, their team is dedicated to making your Langtang Valley Trek a lifetime memory.
The trek typically begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, the starting point of the Langtang Valley Trail. Over the course of several days, you’ll ascend through picturesque landscapes, cross roaring rivers, and traverse suspension bridges that offer thrilling views of the valley below. Each day on the trail brings new challenges and rewards, from witnessing a sunrise over snow-capped peaks to savoring a hearty Nepali meal at a cozy teahouse.
One of the highlights of the Langtang Valley Trek is reaching Kyanjin Gompa, a serene village surrounded by towering peaks and glaciers. Here, trekkers can explore ancient monasteries, visit a traditional cheese factory, or take short hikes to viewpoints like Kyanjin Ri and Tserko Ri for unparalleled panoramic vistas. The trek’s culmination at Kyanjin Gompa feels like a well-earned reward after days of walking through nature’s grandeur.
In addition to its scenic and cultural appeal, the Langtang Valley Trek also holds historical significance. The region was heavily affected by the devastating earthquake of 2015, which reshaped its landscapes and communities. Today, trekking through Langtang is not just an adventure but also an opportunity to support the resilience and recovery of its people.

The Langtang Valley Trek is often called the "Valley of Glaciers" for its dramatic landscapes, vibrant ecosystems, and cultural richness. This trek offers a chance to immerse oneself in the serene beauty of Nepal's Himalayas while experiencing the unique lifestyle of the Tamang people. From the lush forests at lower altitudes to the stark beauty of alpine meadows and towering peaks, every moment of this trek is a memorable adventure.
This detailed guide walks you through a typical day on the Langtang Valley Trek, covering everything from morning routines to evening reflections, along with tips for meals, transportation, and more.
Morning Routine: A Fresh Start to the Day
The day starts early in the Himalayas, usually around 5:30 or 6:00 AM. The crisp, fresh air invigorates your senses as you wake up to the sound of birds chirping or the gentle rustle of the breeze. Most trekkers begin their day by stretching or doing light warm-ups to prepare their bodies for the physical challenges ahead.
Breakfast is served in the communal dining area of the teahouse. A typical Himalayan breakfast might include:
Porridge with honey for energy.
Bread or chapati with jam or butter.
Boiled eggs for protein.
Tea or coffee, a must to kickstart the day.
Trekkers usually spend about an hour preparing for the day. This involves packing essentials like water bottles, snacks, a lightweight jacket, and other trekking gear. Guides or porters help ensure everything is in order, including a quick weather check to prepare for potential changes in conditions.
By 7:00 or 7:30 AM, the group sets off, energized and ready to explore the trail ahead.
Trekking Terrain and Scenery: A Feast for the Senses
The trail in the Langtang Valley is as diverse as it is breathtaking. The journey often begins in dense forests of rhododendron and pine, where the vibrant red blooms of rhododendrons in spring create a magical atmosphere. These forests are alive with wildlife, including langurs, red pandas, and various bird species.
As the day progresses, the landscape transitions into alpine meadows and open pastures where yaks graze peacefully. The higher you climb, the more dramatic the scenery becomes. Snow-capped peaks like Langtang Lirung and Gang Chhenpo dominate the horizon, providing a constant reminder of the grandeur of the Himalayas.
Trekkers will also encounter glacial streams, waterfalls, and quaint villages, each offering unique insights into the Tamang way of life. Prayer wheels, mani walls, and Buddhist stupas line the trail, adding a spiritual dimension to the journey.
Altitude and Acclimatization: Managing the Ascent
One of the key challenges of the Langtang Valley Trek is the rising altitude. The trek begins at Syabrubesi (1,503 m) and ascends to Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m), with optional hikes to higher points like Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m).
Acclimatization is essential to avoid altitude sickness. Trekkers follow the golden rule of "climb high, sleep low," gradually increasing altitude each day and resting at intervals to allow their bodies to adjust. Guides play a crucial role in monitoring trekkers for symptoms like headaches, nausea, or fatigue, which are early signs of altitude sickness.
Tips for acclimatization:
Hydration: Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily.
Pacing: Walk slowly and avoid rushing.
Rest: Take short breaks and listen to your body.
A rest day at Kyanjin Gompa is often included in the itinerary, allowing trekkers to explore nearby attractions like the Langtang Glacier and Tserko Ri while adjusting to the altitude.
Lunch Stop: A Midday Respite
Around noon, trekkers pause for a lunch break at a local teahouse. These breaks offer not just nourishment but also a chance to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The menu at teahouses is simple yet hearty, featuring items like:
Dal Bhat: The quintessential Nepali meal of rice, lentil soup, and vegetables.
Thukpa: A comforting noodle soup.
Momos: Steamed or fried dumplings filled with vegetables or meat.
Fried Rice or Noodles: A quick, filling option for energy.
Trekkers often use this time to recharge, refill their water bottles, and chat with guides or fellow travelers. The warm hospitality of the teahouse owners adds a personal touch to the experience.
Afternoon Trekking: The Final Stretch
The afternoon trek typically involves more gradual ascents and descents, with trekkers feeling the strain of the morning's efforts. Despite the physical fatigue, the trail continues to offer rewards in the form of stunning views and encounters with local wildlife.
As you approach your destination for the night, the air grows colder, and the anticipation of rest and warmth becomes a motivating factor. Passing through small settlements, trekkers get glimpses of daily life in the Himalayas, from farmers tending to their fields to children playing in the villages.
Arrival at Teahouse: A Welcoming Retreat
Reaching the teahouse at the end of the day is a moment of relief and accomplishment. These lodges provide basic but comfortable accommodations, with:
Rooms: Typically twin-sharing with simple beds and blankets.
Dining Area: A communal space with a wood-burning stove for warmth.
Trekkers often settle in by unpacking their gear, freshening up, and enjoying a hot cup of tea or coffee. The camaraderie among fellow trekkers is palpable as everyone shares stories from the day and bonds over the shared experience.
Dinner and Reflection: A Time to Unwind
Dinner is usually served around 7:00 or 8:00 PM. Popular dinner options include:
Vegetable Curry: A flavorful dish served with rice or bread.
Noodle Soup: A warm and comforting choice.
Pasta or Pizza: Variations of these international favorites are often available.
The dining area becomes a hub of activity as trekkers, guides, and porters exchange stories, jokes, and plans for the next day. This time fosters a sense of community and mutual support.
Evening Rest and Preparation for the Next Day
After dinner, most trekkers prepare for the next day by packing their essentials and checking their gear. Early bedtimes are common, as the physical demands of trekking necessitate ample rest. The quiet of the Himalayan night, punctuated only by the sound of wind or distant wildlife, lulls trekkers into a deep, restorative sleep.
The Langtang Valley lies against the beautiful Himalayas of Nepal. It has some spectacular beauty of nature to offer with high altitude gain of over 4000 meters at its highest point and demanding challenges for the trekkers planning to make their way towards it. The trekkers must be physically healthy and have good stamina to face altitude sickness while ascending towards the elevations, the slippery and uneven trails or landscapes due to unpredictable weather in the region. But the breathtaking sceneries of those dramatic mountains and luscious forests will make all the challenges you face on the way worthwhile once you reach the point.
Meals on the Langtang Valley Trek are simple yet nutritious, designed to sustain trekkers through long days of hiking. Teahouses pride themselves on offering locally sourced ingredients and freshly prepared dishes.
Breakfast:
Porridge, bread, or pancakes with tea or coffee.
Options like boiled eggs or omelets for protein.

Langtang Valley takes shelter in one of the Himalayan regions of Nepal and the seasonal diversity is quite conspicuous which can affect the trekking conditions remarkably. Here are some detailed weather conditions of different seasons in the Langtang Valley region to help trekkers to plan their trekking journey accordingly.
· Spring [March to May]: The weather in Langtang Valley is considered an ideal season for trekking in the spring season due to stable weather conditions. The mild temperature, blooming rhododendrons, clear skies, and snow-capped peaks make the region look vibrant and alluring.
· Summer [June to August]: Summer is interpreted by warm temperatures followed by occasional heavy rainfalls and cloudy skies too as it is monsoon season.

· Autumn [September to November]: Autumn is the best time to visit Langtang Valley due to its stable weather. The visible clear skies, mild temperatures, and spectacular mountain scenarios make it perfect for trekkers to enjoy the elegance of the region. As it is the most popular season for trekking, the trails are expected to be more crowded.
· Winter [December to February]: Langtang Valley is quite cold with temperatures below freezing at night during winter with expected snowfall in higher altitudes. The trails are more quiet and the journey can be more challenging for trekkers due to the harsh and cold weather. Trekkers require proper gear for this season as well as the opportunity to endure the beautiful mountains and snow-covered landscapes.
