The Langtang Valley Trek Map:


Before embarking on a journey through the Langtang Valley, every traveler should consult the trek map, which was created by Nepal Spirit Adventure's skilled team and includes useful information about each village camp and mountain names that are roughly above sea level.

Getting there: Route Overview

The Langtang Valley Trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, a vibrant village at the gateway of the Langtang region. From Syabrubesi, we start our trek, following the trail along the Langtang Khola River. The route takes us through beautiful forests of rhododendrons, bamboo, and pine trees, offering glimpses of diverse wildlife and bird species. As we ascend, we pass through charming villages like Lama Hotel, Ghoda Tabela, and Langtang Village, where we can immerse ourselves in the local culture and interact with friendly people.

Continuing our trek, we reach Kyanjin Gompa, a sacred monastery situated at the base of Langtang Lirung. Here, we can explore the monastery, enjoy panoramic mountain views, and soak in the serene atmosphere. After spending time in Kyanjin Gompa, we retraced our steps back to Syabrubesi, enjoying the scenic landscapes, and bid farewell to the Langtang Valley. Finally, we drive back to Kathmandu, concluding our memorable Langtang Valley Trek.

Variation

If you have more time, this trek combines well with the nearby Tamang Heritage Trail, which adds an extra 4-6 days of trekking. You will learn more about the ethnic Tamang people, who originally came from Tibet.

Alternatively, a trekking route is also available: trek over the Gosainkunda Lake Pass back to Kathmandu instead of driving. Gosainkund is a beautiful blue high-altitude lake. It is preferable to trek to Gosainkunda on the return from Langtang rather than on the way, as it requires a fairly steep ascent. By this point, you will be better acclimatized, making the height of the lake (4,380 m.) less of a concern.

If trekking this route without a guide, be especially careful with the altitude—numerous people have been caught out by a dangerous error in a commonly available trekking map that incorrectly lists some altitudes. Double-check all altitudes before setting off.

What Kinds of Meals & Accommodation Do we Aspect?

The Langtang Valley had been very well set up with plenty of comfortable lodges. While the earthquake and landslide destroyed many in certain towns (most dramatically, Langtang Village), plenty of other settlements were less affected, and good options are still plentiful.

The standard here is good, with warm blankets, fireplaces, comfortable beds, the occasional hot shower (for an extra fee), and a variety of food. Don’t forget to try the momos in this region, as they are larger and more pastry-like than those commonly found in the capital.

Is the Langtang Trek Route Permit Inclusive in the Trip Package?


                              Trekking route permit for the Langtang Valley Indigenous area

When you are ready to do the Langtang Valley Trek booking with Nepal Spirit Adventure, the trek route permit is compulsory for all trekkers; you’ll need a TIMS card (US$16) and a Langtang National Park permit (US$23). This permit fee is included in the trek package prices and is required at checkpoints along the route of Langtang Valley.

After this climb, the trail opens into a wide path along the glacial valley, offering splendid views of the snow-capped mountains, including Dorji Lakpa, Langtang Lirung, Tserko Ri, Langshisa, and Naya Kanga (or Ganja La Peak).

What Is the Condition of Altitude Sickness During the Langtang Valley Trek?

Altitude sickness, commonly referred to as acute mountain sickness (AMS), can occur when individuals ascend too quickly, particularly at elevations exceeding 3,000 meters. Most people will experience mild effects from the altitude, such as shortness of breath and occasional light-headedness, which are relatively common.

 

Acute mountain sickness, however, is a more severe condition that typically manifests as a severe headache, nausea, and confusion. Fortunately, there are often clear warning signs when symptoms of altitude sickness begin to appear. If you start to feel unwell, it’s important to inform your trekking guide right away; they will provide guidance on how to address the issue.

Exertion and dehydration are key factors that contribute to altitude sickness. To mitigate the risk, it is recommended to drink at least 3-4 liters of water each day in addition to tea and coffee, as these beverages can act as diuretics.

When Is The Best Time for the Langtang Valley trek?

The primary trekking seasons in the Langtang Valley are from March to May in spring and from September to December in autumn. During these periods, daytime temperatures are typically suitable for walking at most altitudes, the skies are mostly clear, and rain and snow occur infrequently. In the Kathmandu Valley, the capital of Nepal, daytime temperatures range from 15 to 35 degrees Celsius. At an elevation of 3,600 meters, temperatures are slightly lower and continue to decrease with altitude.

Post-Monsoon/Autumn: (Mid-September to November) These months represent the main trekking season in Nepal. Daytime temperatures in Kathmandu are generally above 20°C. The skies are usually clear, and the days are sunny, providing mild weather and stunning mountain views. However, nights can be quite cold, with temperatures dropping as low as -15°C at the highest altitudes.

Winter: (Last Week of December to the End of February)Despite cooler conditions, winter is an excellent time to trek in Nepal. The skies are typically very clear, especially in December, offering some of the best mountain views. Nights can be frigid, with temperatures ranging from -10°C to -15°C at the highest altitudes, but daytime temperatures are often pleasant and sunny. The trekking trails are also less crowded during this season, with maximum daytime temperatures in Kathmandu reaching around 23°C.

Pre-Monsoon/Spring: (March to May) During this time, both daytime and nighttime temperatures are generally warmer, but a haze may develop in the afternoons. It can be quite hot in the lowlands, with temperatures soaring to 35°C in Kathmandu. Spring is also known for its blooming flowers, which attract many tourists. Snow may be encountered during this season, particularly at higher altitudes.
