11 Days

The Langtang Valley Trekking is the most suitable destination for cheap, easy, and short trekking in Nepal. Although this trek is short and can be completed in 9-10 days, it covers many natural and cultural aspects. The Langtang trekking trail is situated in the Langtang National Park, established in 1976 to conserve the unique flora and fauna. It is one of the nearest national parks from the capital city, Kathmandu. The Langtang Valley Trek begins with a tour of Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, followed by a drive to Syabrubesi on the next day. Following our route map, we begin trekking in the lower region of the Langtang Valley.

During the trip, trekkers can encounter many rare wildlife species, including Red Panda, Himalayan black bear, wild dog, ghoral, serow, and more than 250 species of birds. The trail passes through the breathtaking Langtang River from the starting point, Syafrubesi, to the endpoint, Kyangjing Gompa. September to May showcases diverse natural wonders, from lush river valleys to snow-capped peaks. Dry weather prevails except in January-February, possibly encountering snow. Autumn is the prime time to visit the park. Langtang Valley trekking trip offers tea house-style trekking, where local hotels and tea houses serve accommodation and hygienic meals.

After the devastating earthquake in 2015, the Langtang Valley was badly affected. However, it is almost renovated and back to a normal situation. Proper trekking gear and equipment played a vital role in making the trip successful. Our professional and experienced trekking team will lead your trip meaningfully.
