Tour Details of Langtang Valley Trek
Langtang Valley Trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal. This trekking route is less visited as compared to Everest Trek and Annapurna Trek. Being less visited has helped to preserve its pristine beauty. And let the visitor explore the authentic Tamang culture, influenced by Tibetan tradition. The Langtang Valley trek is famous for its off-the-beaten trail. This trek takes you to the foothill of Kyanjin Gomba, the final settlement in the Langtang Valley. The Langtang Lirung, the highest mountain in the area dominates the Langtang valley. The day hike from Kyanjin Gumba offers you a close-up view of the surrounding mountains. You can see the glaciers of Langtang Lirung (7,246m), Kimshung (6781m), and Langshisha Ri (6370m).
The trekkers can see a glimpse of the mountain from the first day of the trek. The trail further leads to the forest of rhododendrons, oaks, and bamboo, and into nature. During spring, the forest is full of various color patches of Rhododendron. Wild animals like monkeys, deer, falcons, lizards, etc dwell in the region. This region is the sanctuary place for Red Panda, an endangered species in the world.
If you are thinking of camping, Langtang Valley is the best place to trek. The mountaineers also can summit the Yala Peak and Naya Kanga.

The Langtang Valley Trek is easy. You descend and ascend slowly while taking a rest. Your body condition does not need to be top-notched. But the trek will be easier and more successful if you could walk 5-6 hours per day. Beware of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) while trekking. There is a gain in altitude and your body must be well acclimatized. We will pay extra attention while Hiking to Kyanjin Ri or Tsergo Ri. This is the highest pass during our trek. To have the stabilized stamina, attitude, and determination you can have a week-long walking practice before your trek day. If you have any critical problems like heart disease, blood cancer, lung problems, and other life-threatening diseases, please consult your doctor before trekking and take the necessary measures.

The best time to visit Langtang Valley Trek will be in Autumn (September–November) and Spring (March-May). This is the best time to explore the unexplored terrain and the climatic condition is favorable. The weather will be warm, clean, and sunny with an incredible view of mountains and hills on the horizon. The winter season (December–February) is cold for trekking. The summer/monsoon season (June–August) will also not be favorable as the trail is slippery. You have to take great risks to complete the journey because of rainfall.
