During this trek, you will understand the history of the Tibetan ancestry and their way of life, agriculture, and trade. Following the catastrophic earthquake in 2015, much of the Langtang Valley was destroyed. However, the villagers' strong spirit shines through as they restore their hometown and greet visitors with warm and gentle smiles.
In addition to admiring the locals' colorful attire, you will be able to admire the blooming rhododendron forests, diverse birds, and fluttering butterflies. The trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. Along the Tamang Heritage Trail, we visit Langtang village before going up to Kyanjin RI, for further exploration.
The Langtang Valley Trek is a manageable journey that doesn't require any special skills or hiking experience. It typically takes 8 to 10 days, with 5 to 7 hours of walking per day. The most difficult part is the climb from Kyanjin Gompa to Tserko RI, which includes steep uphill paths through rocky terrain. However, for the majority of the days, the trail is simple and enjoyable, granting a pleasant and comfortable walking experience.
The highest elevation point in the Langtang Valley Trek is 5,000m above sea level. Therefore, acute mountain sickness (AMS) is one of the significant threats while trekking in Langtang. You are required to take all the necessary precautions while travelling at such a high elevation. Insist on drinking plenty of water and be aware of the symptoms of AMS. The weather in the Himalayas is always unpredictable, especially in the upper reaches. Therefore, it is essential to pack all the necessary equipment while trekking in the Langtang Valley. If you’re planning to trek during monsoon season (usually between April and September), stay cautious on the trail. There are plenty of landslide-prone areas en route to Langtang Valley.
While this trek may be relatively easy for experienced trekkers, it does demand a certain level of physical fitness and attitude. One proper way to keep you fit for the trek is to engage in cardio-oriented exercises.
* Please note that meals are not included in the tour price. We recommend budgeting $300 to $350 per person for meals during the trek.

How much money do I need to bring with me?
Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

How much should my backpack weigh?
A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.
- Do I need a porter?

Do I require a porter for carrying water?
On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
