Langtang Valley Trek In 11 Days

Langtang Valley Trek is a pleasant trip in Nepal that begins with tours of Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites followed by a drive to Syabrubesi the next day. Following our route map, we begin trekking from the lower region of the Langtang Valley through small villages, farmlands and verdant forests to Kyangjin Gompa. We also climb Tserko Ri for excellent sunrise views over the Langtang ranges.The region borders Tibet and was once an important trading route. We can still see the influence in the rich local culture. Furthermore, the Langtang Valley Trek’s itinerary also takes us to the ‘Langtang Village’ which was heavily affected by the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal in April 2015. Our exciting 11-day trip in Nepal comes to a conclusion in Kathmandu, where it had started.

ACCOMODATION

We will be staying at 3 Starts hotel in Kathmandu and tea houses during the trekking If the guest request single room with attached bathroom and will cost an additional 200 USD. Conqueri will arrange rooms with attached washrooms; however, tea houses in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are readily available in Kathmandu and the trekking regions at lower elevation but it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.

MEALS

Breakfast will be served in Kathmandu where as all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) will be provided during the trek. While trekking, we can enjoy Nepalese food as well the more common international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Italian, Indian, etc.). Breakfast and dinner will be served from the lodge menu where we spend the night whereas lunch will be served on the way to the next destination. There will also be welcome and farewell dinners for guests.

PHYSICAL CONDITION & EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Langtang Valley Trek is a moderate trek suitable for passionate walkers who can walk for around 5-7 hours a day with a light day pack. Walking in higher altitudes is more physically demanding than walking in lower altitudes; however, if we are in excellent health with average physical fitness and have a positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination, we can accomplish this trek successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for a few weeks prior to the trip is a good idea to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is vital for participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases to consult their doctor before taking the trip.

Itinerary

Conqueri trek and Expedition representative staff will be waiting at Tribhuvan international airport outside of arrival gate and transfer to hotel

Today you visit different historical and cultural sites of the Kathmandu valley with our guide. In the morning after having breakfast you go visit Buddhist and Hindu temples Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, which reflect the local culture and tradition of Nepalese society. Then in the afternoon you visit Kathmandu Durbar square and Patan durbar square. In the evening you will return to the Hotel.

Getting to the Langtang Valley Trek starting point is straightforward: a 7 or 8-hour bus journey from Kathmandu. That’s not to say it’s dull—far from it! Driving along the Trisuli River, you may be fortunate to see whitewater rafters taking on the mighty rapids. But look up—already, the mountains are welcoming you. On reaching Trisuli Bazaar, the Manaslu Massif, Ganesh, Jungal Himal, and Langtang stand tall overhead. The road is a bit bumpy from this point, so be prepared. It’s around 50 km / 31 miles to Dhunche, then another 15 km / 9 miles to Syabrubesi, where we stop for the night before beginning the trek proper the following day.

Another walk through a beautiful forest with Langtang Lirung as the backdrop. When we reach Ghora Tabela, the trail enters green meadows, and we can see the Langtang Range stretching on both sides of the valley. Walking on, the valley widens, and we can see herders graze their livestock on the high summer pastures. Today, there are only temporary settlements and an army post. This was once the teaming village of Langtang, with its many trekkers’ tea houses. Today the area is full of boulders, deprived of life after the 2015 earthquake. Walking for half an hour or so, we reach the village of Mundu. Our overnight stop at Mundu is very comfortable, with its more modern buildings and facilities.

You will pass through the forest and reach Ghoretable after a 3-hour hike. Ghoretable is a horse stable. The trek continues, and you will reach Langtang Village. The 2015 earthquake destroyed Langtang village, but it has since been rebuilt. You can stay in Langtang Village or Mundu, which is the next stop from Langtang Village. You will see glorious views of Langtang and Gonchompe. The Langtang village thrives with a community health post, government schools, small markets, and monasteries.

The route is shorter today, and it is lined with Buddhist artifacts, such as Chortens, prayer flags, and rocks with Buddhist inscriptions carved into them. Watermills and yak pastures are also interesting, as are the wonderful mountain views. Reaching Kyanjin Gompa by lunchtime allows one to relax or explore the area. Why not hike towards Langshisha Kharka, which has wonderful views? We overnight in the Gompa and enjoy the area’s spirituality and mountains.

This is an exciting but challenging day to hike up Tsergo Ri (5,000m /16404 ft), from where we can see over 20 peaks, the Langtang Valley, and frozen lakes. The views and exhilarating experience make this hard upward hike well worthwhile! After taking in the breathtaking views, return to Kyanjin Gompa for a second night and a well-deserved dinner.

Today we retrace our steps to Lama Hotel by crossing streams and hiking through forests. After the extra effort of the previous day’s challenging trek. Overnight at Lama Hotel.

This is the final day of the trek, and there are options! Two routes take us back to Syabrubesi. We can either retrace our outbound route through the forest and the villages of Bamboo and Rimche, reaching Syabrubesi in about 6 hours or take a shorter but steeper route with stunning views of the Langtang Valley. The second route goes via Rimche and Sherpa Gaun. Depending on the weather and stamina level, you can decide which route to take. We overnighted in Syabrubesi.

Drive back to Kathmandu from Syabrubeshi to Kathmandu and transfer to Hotel.

Conqueri trek and Expedition representative staff will drop you to the Tribhuvan International airport before 3 hours of your flight time.
