“1.)A manager charged us more than exact currency as we paid in NRP that caused us 16$ more.
2.) Along the way of trekking I didn't feel
comfortable to take picture as much as I want even we were only two people in a trip. And a guide didn't bring us to second view point of Kyanjin gompa at 4,773 meters.

Wish they see this post and improve.”

“Unique Adventure is a very serious and professional trekking agency, we had a very good experience.
Before the trekking: good communication, best price. I asked price for a detailled itinerary of 14 days with 7 (!) different trekking agencies: some did not respond or very slow, others gave a price for their standard trekking but not for our itinery, others charged more than the double price... Mr Khum gave a correct price and fast and detailed answers
Transfers and hotel before and after the trekking: good
During the trekking: we had a very good guide Nuri and two friendly porters (we booked an extra porter). Nuri is very friendly, professional, flexible, and always present, we could count on him. We received always the best available room in the best teahouse of the village. For every meal we could choose 1 item of the available menu list per person, an extra item was to pay a few dollars extra. This was a very clear and simple rule, but in reality 1 item was more than enough, we almost never had to pay extra.
We surely had a positive experience, and I can recommend Mr Khum and his trekking agency Unique Adventure. As for the price: we know the prices of the teahouses, hotels, guides and porters and food, and a quick calculation learns that the agency Unique Adventure wins certainly not more than 10 percent, this is a decent and correct price for the service. So don't pay the double price in another agency, Unique Adventure gives you good service and good value for money.”

“Excellent trek, with amazing landscape.
The only point which I would change would be to keep an open schedule for the way up. Many people felt high altitude sickness symptoms, so it would be positive to break up the way up in more one-two days, to allow for proper acclimatisation. To have a fixed trek schedule is not the best to deal with altitude acclimatisation.
Apart from this, everything was excellent.”

“We couldn't have been happier with this adventure. The views left us breathless, we enjoyed every single moment. Bishnu was very knowledgeable of the region, always had an answer for our questions and although he started as a guide, now it feels like we are leaving a good friend in Nepal.
The lodges were all very comfortable (considering we are used to sleep in tents), and even though the temperatures were very low at night, we always felt warm with our sleeping bag and the duvet provided at each accommodation.
Highly recommended to get the jeep to Syabrubessi, specially if you tend to suffer from travel sickness. We decided to take it in the last minute and never regretted.
Will definitely visit Nepal again!”

“I arrived to Kathmandu already very late at night and I had to be at 6AM next day in NEA Office. Fortunately, in the hotel I booked, I already had one guide waiting for me with the sleeping bag and down jacket I asked from them. That was a immediate boost in my trust.

Before my departure to Nepal, Chhatra Karki was very helpful and replied to each one of my emails very quickly.

I made the langtang valley trek during 8 days, including the 2 days bus trip, and I couldn't be more happy. Not only with the amazing scenery, but also with the organization of it and with my guide, Shyam Basnet. He is a very experience guide with an extensive knowledge about the trekking routes and always ready to help and give you some advice.

I highly recommend Nepal Eco Adventure.”

“This trekking is amazing. The only thing really bad is the road from Kathmandu to Syaprubensi, the starting point... 8 painful hours to drive 134 km. Prepare yourself for the road... it’s even worst that I can tell.
You will see different views... the first day maybe is the hardest one, always going up and down in the middle of the forest... but once in the kanjing ri point (4800 meters more or less) you will see that it worths the effort.
Some tea houses are very basic but you will be provided with the necessary to assure your personal hygiene... even if they don’t have hot shower you can always ask for a bucket of hot water and wash yourself every day. I suggest you to take with you an disinfectant spray for the tea houses bed clothes; some of them have bugs that can go inside your sleeping bag.
Maybe the most difficult thing is the toilet, if that is important to you... normally a latrine not so clean as you may expect, but remember that you are in an adventure so try to see it this way.
You will cross lots of porters in your way.. remember to give them priority in the way... they hard work deserves our respect and recognition... they are persons like we are.
And just one more suggestion: please be careful with the trash... I saw some empty cookies packets, empty bottles of water, cigarettes packets, sweets packets on the way (even sanitary pads)... so keep the trash with you until you find a bin... if we go there it’s because the nature is important to us so it’s our duty to protect it.
I wish you a good and safe trekking and really hope that you will be so happy as I was over there.”

“I am a large , 55yr old man. Not Extremely fit . Ace made this work for me and was always Extremely professional and kind. I would have paid double had i known they were so willing to do so much more than simply lead us up. Folks, this was a team of hard working professionals that made sure i had the best opportunity to make it. I did...which was not the case for those that did not heed their advice. Kirk Brewer...

Langtang Trek - Overview

The name Langtang stems from the legend of a Buddhist lama following a runaway yak into the valley. ‘Lang’ is Tibetan for Yak and ‘teng’ means to follow. Today the valley is still inhabited by yaks. Langtang lies within Langtang National Park, which is considered to be the first Himalayan national park. Mighty Langtang Lirung (7246 m) dominates the valley but there are other peaks visible during the trek. The area is inhabited by the Tamang ethnic group in the hilly areas and the Sherpas in the upper elevations.

The final resting point for the Langtang trek is Kyanjing Gompa (3870 m), an idyllic mountain village rich in Sherpa culture and traditions. A moderately difficult hike up the Kyanjing Ri (4980 m) or Tserko Ri (5033 m) reveals awesome mountain views including Ganesh Himal (7,600 m), Mt. Langtang II (7,227 m), Mt. Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), Mt. Gang Chhenpo (6,388 m) and of course the tallest of them all - Langtang Lirung.

Langtang Trek - Itinerary

The below is a standard itinerary for the Langtang trek, although some itineraries are also 10-11 days. The itinerary may vary depending on the final trekking agency you choose to go with:

Day 01: Bus drive - Kathmandu - Syabrubesi (1,550 m)
Day 02: Syabrubesi - Lama Hotel (2,380 m)
Day 03: Lama hotel - Langtang village (3,430 m)
Day 04: Langtang village - Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m)
Day 05: Climb Kyanjing Ri (4,980 m) or Tserko Ri (5,033 m) back to Kyanjin Gompa
Day 06: Kyanjin Gompa - Lama Hotel (2,380 m)
Day 07: Lama hotel - Syabrubesi (1,550 m)
Day 08: Syabrubesi - Kathmandu by bus

Langtang Trailhead – how to get there

The trek starts from the small town of Syabrubesi (1550 m) which can be reached by road from Kathmandu in 8-9 hours. The bus ride itself is half the fun of this trekking trip as the road winds up and down through the beautiful high-hills region of Nepal. Occasional sights of blossoming rhododendron flowers is not uncommon and you can see dozens of beautiful waterfalls falling from the top of the hills. The mountainous road takes you through local villages where you can see real rural Nepali life. The bus-ride is somewhat bumpy but it makes up for it with an extremely scenic drive through the countryside of Nepal.
