Langtang Valley Trek Trip Overview 

Langtang Valley Trek is a heavenly, beautiful classic trekking situated in the high and remote Langtang Valley within Langtang National Park, inhabited by welcoming and culturally rich Tamang people. Their religious practices, language, and dress are very similar to those of Tibet and their cousins' traditions in the middle hills. The area is famous for its pleasant local, unique tradition flavor, Buddhist monasteries and monuments along the way, and spectacular mountain views. This charming Langtang valley trek follows the river upstream through a forest of pine, bamboo, and rhododendrons, uphill through pastures to arrive at the alpine meadows of Kyanjin Gompa, where you will get an exceptional mountain view just a stone’s throw from the Tibetan border. 

Langtang Valley Trekking, which is easily accessed in the region from Dhunche (district headquarters of Rasuwa) town and the National Park office, which is a day´s drive from Kathmandu. The upper reaches of Langtang can be reached in four days of easy hiking; however, it is worthwhile to spend a few days around the forest at Ghoda Tabela to watch for the red panda. Once above Langtang village and the monastery at Kyangjin, Langtang is inhabited by people of Tibetan descent. In contrast, the villagers of Dhunche, Bharkhu, and Syabru further down are home to the Tamangs of Nepal´s middle hills. Trekkers can explore the high valley of Langshisa Kharka, Kyamjin Ri, or hike to Tserko Ri, which is 4985 m (16351 ft.) above sea level, and more than 21 snowy peaks are seen from there. 

The forest around Ghode Tabela in the below Langtang Valley and lower Gosainkund Lakes are inhabited by the very shy red panda, a rare and endangered symbol of a healthy Himalayan ecosystem. Other animals common to these forests are yellow-throated martens, wild boar, Himalayan black bears, Ghorel (Mountain Goat), grey langur monkeys, and leopards. The region is also home to Himalayan honeyguides, mountain pheasants, musk deer, and snow leopards. The upper Langtang Valley is one of the few known breeding grounds of the ibis bills besides the Tibetan snow cock and snow partridge. Like other Himalayan nature parks, Langtang has to be explored on foot. There are several possible trails and itineraries to choose from depending on your favorite and the time available.

    Wonderful Langtang Trek Experience

    Rating:

    I did Langtang Valley Trek with my husband which was life-long desire to travel to Nepal was the trip of a lifetime thanks to the professional support of Wilderness Excursion. Pre-trip planning was very easy with every query fully answered by Pradip. Our guide Jay Ram was first-class, carrying out every aspect professionally. I believe the pacing of each day as planned by Wilderness Excursion permitted us to successfully acclimate to the altitude. This agency will be the only agency I think for future trekking adventures in Nepal.
