Overview of Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trek is an 11-day trekking tour to explore the Langtang Valley. On this trek, we’ll experience the uniqueness of the Langtang region. You will see astounding peaks, lakes, glaciers, and rivers and explore the Tamang culture and lifestyle up close. In addition to it, we’ll also gain climbing experience as we summit the 5000-meter tall Tserko Ri.

This Langtang Valley Trek starts with a long drive through the Prithvi Highway along the Trishuli River to Dhunche. From there, a short drive via Pasang Lhamu Highway will see us at our first rest stop, Syabrubesi. The trek starts the next day along the Bhote Koshi River and through the bamboo forest to get to Rimche (Lower and Upper).

An easy trek from Rimche will see us at the settlement of the Lama Hotel. From here, we’ll hike past a rhododendron forest to get to Tabela. Keep on the uphill trek; soon after, we’ll get to Thangshyap before reaching the Langtang Village. This village was destroyed during the devastating earthquake in 2015. Thankfully, the settlement has been renovated and moved 100 meters away to a safer place. You will be able to see the village back to its former glory.

Another day sees us at Kyanjin Gompa, where we’ll come across Kyanjin Gompa, Yak Cheese Factory, and Nepal’s most enormous mani wall. Early in the morning the next day, our hike saw us up the 5000 meters TserkoCherish the moment and enjoying the breathtaking views of Manaslu, Langtang, and other peaks alongside the views of valleys underneath.

Langtang Valley Trek is a moderately difficult one. If you want a much easier trek to experience the Tamang culture and the Langtang massif, you can always reserve the Helambu Circuit Trek. This trek is designed for those who want to experience the Himalayas of Nepal from a perspective different from that of the Everest or Annapurna regions.

Physical and Mental Preparation for Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trek is a moderately complex trek. But it does not mean trekkers do not need to physically and mentally prepare for the trek. Walking on varied terrains, from subtropical dense forests to alpine meadows, would be best. The trails can get rocky, rugged, and narrow as you go deeper into the valley. Similarly, you must be prepared to walk 6 to 7 hours daily during the trek. Walking such long hours on uneven terrains can become physically challenging for trekkers. Moving to higher elevations, the facilities and amenities availability also need to be improved. Connectivity like wifi/internet and phone signals also get limited.
Likewise, trekkers are more likely to experience altitude sickness as the altitude gets higher. The oxygen level in the atmosphere starts to get thinner. It can cause trekkers discomfort, and they may experience symptoms like nausea, dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, etc. The weather can also change rapidly at higher elevations. It can create unexpected challenges for trekkers. In addition to the physical demand, it can mentally stress out the trekkers.

Therefore, trekkers have to be physically and mentally prepared for the Langtang Valley Trek. In addition to the strength training and exercises, you will also have to build mental resilience. Practice hiking and increase your physical endurance and stamina. Please do your research related to the trek and its challenges. Also, manage your expectations. The trek takes you into remote areas, so expect something other than luxury facilities. Carry proper equipment and gear for different weather conditions.

Physical and mental wellness is vital for a safe and enjoyable trekking experience. It is also essential to hire an experienced and trained guide. They will be the first person to respond in case of emergencies. With Adventure Walkway, you can rest assured that your trekking experience will be memorable and safe. We put our client’s safety and security first. Likewise, our guides have years of experience and proper training to handle any situation.

Best Season For The Langtang Valley Trek

The best way to enjoy the Langtang Valley Trek is to choose the right season. The weather and climate can vary depending on the season. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most suitable times for the Langtang Valley Trek. The summer season coincides with the monsoon in Nepal. It brings heavy rainfall all across Nepal. Although the Langtang region falls in the shadow area (does not experience much rain), the lower regions experience rainfall during monsoon. It makes the trail muddy and slippery, and landslides are dangerous. Meanwhile, in the winter season, there is usually heavy snowfall in higher elevations. It can block passes, and there is a risk of avalances.
Therefore, spring and autumn are the best season for trekking in Nepal. Let us look at the climate and weather conditions for these two seasons:

Spring (March to May)

During early March, the higher regions may still have remnants of snow. But as the spring season progresses, the weather starts to become warmer. The daytime temperature during spring ranges from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. Moreover, the rhododendron forests along the trail come to life as they bloom in red, white, and pink colours. You can witness vibrant and colourful landscapes as you trek along the Langtang Valley route. The sky is clear and provides excellent views of the surroundings and the mountains.

Autumn (September to November)

The best thing about autumn is the crisp air, clear sky, and stable temperature. It falls in the post-monsoon season in Nepal. Thus, most dust settles as the green and luscious vegetations come to life. It is also the best season for the excellent mountain views. The temperature ranges from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius during autumn season. The trail is also well-defined, with less risk of landslides. At the end of autumn, the temperature begins to drop significantly. Hence, make sure you carry warm clothing and proper gear.

FAQs

Is the trail to Langtang Valley Trek in good condition?

The Langtang Valley Trek takes you into the remote region of the Langtang. Despite the remoteness, the trails are well-established. The area was affected by the

Earthquake, but with the help of significant reconstruction efforts, the infrastructure and trails have been returned to good condition.

Can beginners participate in the Langtang Valley Trek?

Yes, beginners can participate in the Langtang Valley Trek. The route is moderately challenging, and trekkers with a basic fitness level can do the trek. However, trekkers should be prepared to ascend and descend on different terrains. It can be physically demanding. Similarly, the high elevation can lead to trekkers experiencing altitude-related sickness; thus, whether they are beginners or seasoned trekkers, they should be physically and mentally prepared.

What permits do I need for the Langtang Valley Trek?

Trekkers will require a TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) card and A Langtang National Park Permit. You can obtain these permits from Kathmandu. You can get the Langtang National Park Permit at the national park entrance. Since the region is not classified as a restricted area, you do not need a restricted area permit.

Is the drinking water safe in the Langtang region?

Bottled water may be available, but it is terrible for a sustainable environment.

Can I get altitude sickness during the Langtang Valley Trek?

The Langtang Valley Trek will take you to an elevation as high as 5,000 meters. So, there is the risk of altitude sickness. It is essential to acclimatise and ascend gradually to avoid the illness.

Group Traveller

I availed their service of porter guide for my trek in Langtang Valley trek 5 years ago. The service was excellent and their rates for the trek was just right. After I did my trek with them, Mr. Dipendra met me again for a friendly conversation which was a very nice gesture to their clients. I would recommend his company to anybody who want to do any trek in Nepal.
