Transportation

Drive

The Langtang is the nearest Himalayan trekking region from the Kathmandu Valley. A few hours drive from Kathmandu can take you to the beautiful Langtang region. Despite its proximity to the Kathmandu City, the Langtang Region is as wild as any Tibetan highlands with an idyllic rural landscape.

The people living in the highlands of the Langtang region are from Tibetan origin, hence they look like Tibetans. Langtang region is one of the most popular trekking regions for those wishing for a trek from Kathmandu into the Himalayas influenced by Tibetan culture and lifestyle within 7 days.

7-day Langtang Trek takes the trekkers through its forests and among the villages and farmlands of its people, many of who are of Tibetan origin. Once an important trading route with Tibet, this influence is reflected in the character of the villages and peoples.

During part of the Langtang trek, you will be walking through National Park, and though wildlife is never easy to spot in a forest setting, there are chances of seeing some interesting animals and birds. Among those found in the park are monkeys, musk deer, pika and the national bird of Nepal, the colourful danphe.

The Langtang Trek, from Langtang village, the track continues to Kyangjin Gompa (3,740meters). This is the site of the Yala Cheese Factory. There is a STOL airstrip at Chhaldang, a short distance east of Kyangjin. Visiting the Yala Cheese Factory (4.633meters) and the small lakes beyond Yala are worthwhile. Yala can be reached within half a day from Kyangjin Gompa.

From Kyangjin Gompa, a continuation to the pastures of Langshisa (4.084meters) offers the good views of numerous glaciers. There are some huts in Langsisa that can be reached within one day’s walk from Kyangjin Gompa.

Best Time to Trek Langtang

When to Trek Langtang?
Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the best time to trek Langtang Valley. You can enjoy the rhododendron filled forests during Spring and you will see beautiful clear mountain views in Autumn. The weather during these seasons is warm and stable with a temperature range of 10 °C-15 ° C. There is also no chance of rainfall so you can walk on the trekking trails freely.

To see the magic view of the snow-capped peaks, you can choose a winter trek, but the weather and climate may make your trek more difficult. In higher altitudes, the temperature drops down to below 0° C. Cold winds, slippery trails, and heavy snowfall can make the trek difficult.

In the Langtang region, if want to do 10 to 15-day trek, then you can also combine with the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, Helambu Trek or Tamang Heritage Trail if your time allows, which will give you a nice trip of the Langtang region.

For those who want to trek this off the beaten track and see something completely different from many of the more touristy areas in the country, this is a perfect trek.

Your Dream Itinerary, Crafted With You

I was born and raised in Nepal, nearby the Everest region. I am proud to be a native Sherpa, and I have been a Mountain guide over a decade now.

Following my passion, I decided to start helping travelers with their travel plans! I think life is a journey, a trip where you collect experiences when you share with other people and with nature.

I started Himalaya Discovery because I was ready to see a new kind of travel brand, one built on the simple idea of feeling good and doing good.

Since its start, Himalaya Discovery has been super-powered by you, our community; when you “travel” it, we create it. We’re on a mission to make travel better with clean, award-winning adventures that are sustainable and conscious of the planet we share.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey!
