The Langtang valley trek lies within the closest Himalayan region from the ancient valley of Kathmandu. We can enter this sound eco balanced region within several hours by a scenic drive to Syabrubensi. Despite its very close proximity to Kathmandu; this region consists of high and wild Tibetan highlands with eye catching scenery. Nepal's Langtang region is one of the most important treks for those who have deep interest in Tibetan lifestyles. We see a variety of rhododendron and bamboo forests, amazing dancing waterfalls and towering snowcapped mountains; making this trek popular like the Annapurna and Everest regions of Nepal.

This region is also known as the 'valley of glaciers' which is surrounded by icy glaciers from the enormous Himalayas. The Langtang valley is also covered by various mountain ranges which make it a major destination for mountaineering. Some famous names are: Langtang Ri, Langtang Lirung, Langshisa Ri and Langtang Himal. Our Langtang valley trekking route takes us to Kyanjin Gompa, known to be the oldest Buddhist monastery in Langtang. In addition to this, the path was also once a vital source for trade with Tibet. and also we can get an opportunity to visit the cheese factory and the cheese produced in this factory is a famous elegance all over the world. Our real trekking starts from the next day as we trek by the banks of Langtang River. After continuing our walk, we will reach Langtang village which is rich in natural diversity. Then our trip open out to expose eye-catching views of peaks and rolling pastureland. We then go back following the same path.

The best season to visit this region is February – May and September – November. Check our fixed itinerary for Langtang Valley Trek or just send us an email and we will design a trip based on your requirements.
