The Langtang Valley has long been a favorite trek due to its expansive views, interesting Tamang culture, relatively gentle pace and accessibility from Kathmandu. This trek in Langtang valley is ideal for people looking to trek in a peaceful environment. The Langtang region is dominated by the Tibetan-influenced Tamang people and also a few Sherpas. You will therefore get the chance to feel and experience Tibetan cultures and rituals.
Our Langtang trek offers a variety of superb views of Himalayan peaks with dense alpine forests, numerous birds, thundering rivers and isolated villages. The Langtang Trek also offers the pristine hiking trails, the green vegetation, the untouched nature, the picturesque landscape, the sacred lakes, the glaciers and the breathtaking view of the Ganesh Himal Range and the Manaslu Range including the mountains or peaks: Langtang Lirung ( 7,246 m), Naya Kanga (5,846 m), Yal Peak (5,700 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m) etc. In Langtang Trek we cross the different villages: Thulo Syabru, Bamboo, Lama Hotel and finally the largest human settlement in this region Langtang Village (3,541 m) to the last human settlement in this region: Kyanjin Gompa.
During the hike we climb through dense forests of rhododendron, bamboo and oak trees and enjoy the quiet surroundings, the lush green vegetation, the twittering of the birds, the flora fauna and even the animal world. The Kyanjin Gompa is majestically located at the foot of Langtang Lirung, which is known as a destination for exploration and acclimatization. During the acclimatization in Kajin Gompa we explore the Langsisa yak pasture, the Yala cheese dairy and climb the Tsergo Ri (5,050 m).
Tserko Ri is the best vantage point from which we can see the untouched landscape, the panoramic landscape and the shiny massif or the mountains. From Kyanjin Gompa we drive the previous paths back to Syabrubesi to make the last trip to Kathmandu. Langtang trek is also known among families for comfortable adventures. Tea-houses at the Langtang trek are simpler compared with the popular Annapurna and Everest region though they are fine and will give you a comfortable sleep and some fine food.
