Langtang Valley Trek

Up a glacier-carved valley of Tamang villages and yak pastures to the 4,773 m viewpoint of Kyanjin Ri.

Langtang fits a lot into one valley. Low down there's bamboo forest, where you might see a red panda if you're lucky. Higher up you walk through Tamang villages rebuilt after 2015 and out across the yak pastures to Kyanjin Gompa, with its cheese factory and bakery. Then you climb Kyanjin Ri at 4,773 m for sunrise, with Langtang Lirung filling the sky. It's quieter than the Annapurnas, and your visit directly supports the valley's recovery. From Pokhara it's a full day on the road, with a long lunch stop on the way. Your guide does oximeter checks every day.

Questions before you book

Is Langtang safe after the earthquake?

Yes. The trail reopened after it was assessed, the lodges are new builds, and people have trekked the valley without a break for years now. The usual mountain hazards apply, as they do anywhere in Nepal.

How does it compare to Everest Base Camp or ABC?

It's shorter, cheaper, lower and much less crowded, and there's no flight to worry about. The mountains are close and enormous. What you don't get is a set goal to aim for, with no base camp and no famous pass. Some people miss that and others prefer it.

Can I do it in under a week?

The walking fits into six days, but the two long road days sit on either side. Eight days is the version we recommend, and it's the one with two nights at Kyanjin.

Is it good for a first Himalayan trek?

Yes, very. The altitude is manageable and the trail is straightforward, with reasonable distances each day. The drive in and out is the only hard part.

Is it right for my fitness?

Langtang Valley Trek is graded Moderate and tops out at 4,773 m. In our Trek Finder it comes up for walkers who pick “Comfortable with long day hikes” or a harder answer, and “Happy up to about 4,800 m” or higher on altitude. Tell us how much walking you’ve done and we’ll tell you whether it fits.

Is it a private trip?

Yes, it’s private, for 1 to 12 people.

Do I pay anything online?

No. You send your dates and pay nothing now. We check guide and permit availability, then reply on WhatsApp or by email with your day-by-day plan and a confirmed price, usually within a few hours, always within a day.

When do I pay?

Nothing until you’re happy. We agree the deposit together, and you pay the balance in Pokhara.

Can I change my dates?

Free date changes up to 15 days before departure.

What if you cancel for weather?

Full refund if we cancel for weather or safety.
