Overview

Our Langtang Valley Trek offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and personalized service. Trek through lush rhododendron forests, glacial rivers, and alpine meadows with panoramic views of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa—all without the crowds of Everest or Annapurna.

What makes this journey truly special is the cultural connection: you’ll visit traditional Tamang villages, experience local hospitality, and learn about Buddhist heritage in places like Kyanjin Gompa. We work with experienced local guides who know the region intimately and ensure your safety while enriching your journey with authentic stories and insights.

Our trek supports locally owned teahouses and contributes to the sustainable recovery of the region post-earthquake. From flexible itineraries to hotel pick-ups and permit arrangements, we take care of all the logistics—so you can focus on the experience. This is more than a trek—it’s a deep dive into the heart of the Himalayas.

What to expect

Day 1: DRIVE FROM KATHMANDU TO SYABRUBESI (1900M)
  1. Syapru Besi
    6h
    As soon as you leave Kathmandu, the road rises and crosses a small pass at Kakani, 2145 meters above sea level. On a clear day, the panorama is superb: Annapurna II, Manaslu, and the Ganesh Himal massif. The road then plunges towards the wide valley of the Trisuli to arrive at the large town of Trisuli (548 m). Then it's the track to Shyabur Besi. In Kalikhastan, we enter the Langtang National Park.

    6-hour drive
    Final altitude: 1900m
    Accommodation: NIght in the Lodge
Day 2: TREKKING FROM SHYABRU TO LAMA HOTEL (2470 M)
  1. Langtang National Park
    5h
    Beginning of the trek. We cross the village of Shyabru, then terraced crops and a thick forest of oaks, alders, and bamboos. We change banks by crossing the Langtang Khola River, by a large suspension bridge. A few climbs and descents in areas of landslides mean that this day is not monotonous, despite the few houses visible in this wooded region. We recross the tumultuous Langtang Khola before undertaking a steep climb to Rimche at 2,250 meters. The descent towards Changtang, called “Lama Hotel” (name of the first lodge built in this hamlet) is finally gentle.
Day 3: TREKKING FROM LAMA HOTEL - GHORA TABELA - LANGTANG (3400 M)
  1. Langtang Valley Trek
    5h
    We ascend gradually through the woodland, catching glimpses of the clear blue river below through occasional gaps between the trees. Suddenly, as we round a corner in the clearing, the majestic Langtang Lirung (7246 m) comes into view. Crossing a suspension bridge, the trail leads us through yak-filled meadows to Ghora Tabela, a pastoral village predominantly inhabited by Tibetans. Continuing upward, the trail steadily widens the valley, revealing numerous traditional Tamang houses and the initial manis, the prayer walls. Our approach to Langtang, marked by its Tibetan-style, flat-roofed houses,
Day 4: TREKKING FROM LANGTANG TO KYANJIN GOMPA (3870 M)
  1. Kyanjin Gompa
    5h
    The path winds through the largest village in the valley and joins a ridge dominated by a large square chorten and its long prayer wall. From there, access to a small moraine allows you to contemplate the Kyanjin gompa: the site is magnificent. Then a short descent towards the lodges and the local cheese dairy.
    In the afternoon, possibility of making an excursion towards Kyanjin Ri (4773 m) which offers a remarkable point of view: Langtang Lirung (7227 m), Yala Peak (5050 m), Langshisha Ri (6560 m), massive of Urkeinmang Himal (6143 m), among many other peaks. If you do not wish to make this excursion, you can go up the wide Langtang valley, which rises very gently, towards the summer pastures of the yak
Day 5: ASCENT OF TSERGO RI (4984 M)
  1. 5h
    devoted to the discovery of the upper Langtang valley. The Tsergo Ri, from where the wide circular view imposes itself as a belvedere, offers a grandiose panorama: Langtang Lirung (7246 m), Naya Kanga (5846 m), Dorje Lakpa (6966 m), Langshisa Ri (6427 m), Ganchenpo (6378 m) and, in the distance, the summit of Shishapangma (8013 m). The round trip is a great day of effort. The terrain does not present any particular difficulties other than the altitude. The end of the route, among large boulders, is demanding
Day 6: KYANJIN GOMPA - LAMA HOTEL (2470 M)
  1. 5h
    Descent by the same route as on the outward journey.
Day 7: LAMA HOTEL TO THULO SHYABRU (2250 M)
  1. Thulo Syabru
    5h
    Descent by the way of the outward journey following the Langtang Khola, until taking a small path on our left. The path is a little rough in the middle of the ferns. We come to a sumptuous belvedere. Sometime later, we arrive at a flat area and see the village of Thulo Shyabru. Suspended from a ridge with its white chorten at the entrance to the village, it is a beautiful belvedere over the foothills of Tibet. At nightfall, the changing colors of trees, hills and snow-capped peaks in the distance leave pleasant memories and delight the photographer
Day 8: THULO SHYABRU - THULO BHARKHU - KATHMANDU (1350 M)
  1. Kathmandu
    5h
    Return to the track with alternating coniferous forests and pastures. The last views of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal ranges follow one another before a long descent. Arrived at the road, a car awaits us to take us back to Kathmandu.
