Langtang Region Trek

The Langtang Valley trek is one of the easiest, short, cheap and less crowded compared to other popular treks in Nepal. It can be completed within a week or can get extended up to ten (10) days. This trek is suitable for both first-time travellers and experienced trekkers. This journey takes you through the most beautiful landscape, Tamang villages, stunning waterfalls and high Himalayan valleys, dense forests and monasteries. This trek covers certain parts of Langtang National Park where you need a ticket to enter into the National Park area. The Tamang community makes up the majority of the population in this region, which is influenced by Tibetan culture and tradition. They are the most welcoming people who extend warm hospitality to visitors.

This trail provides breathtaking views of mountains such as Langtang Lirung (7234m), Langtang Ri (7205m), Dorje Lakpa (6966m), Ganesh Himal (7422), Jugal (6095m), Ganja La Pass (5120m) along with stunning Glacier. It is also famous for a pious pilgrimage to Gosainkunda lake (4380m). This valley is home to a variety of unique animals and birds, protected under Langtang National Park. If you are lucky, you might see red pandas, Langurs, snow leopards, and Musk deer along with beautiful birds like Tibetan Snowcock, Redstarts, Blood Pheasant, Parrot bills, Himalayan Monal, Tragopan and many more.

Langtang was one of Nepal’s most popular trekking destinations before the devastating earthquake hit it hard in 2015. The earthquake badly impacted and damaged the most beautiful Langtang valley including Kyanging Gompa and many small Tamang villages. Some of them were eroded and hidden beneath the debris. However, the trek is now open to trekkers following extensive renovation and reconstruction works.
