Nestled north of Kathmandu, the Langtang Kyanjin trek offers an enchanting escape into the heart of Nepal's "valley of glaciers." This tour package invites nature enthusiasts to discover a landscape of mountain streams, sweeping meadows adorned with daisies, fragrant pine forests, and snow-capped peaks such as Langtang Lirung. Throughout the journey, trekkers are immersed in the unique culture of the Tamang people, whose customs echo their Tibetan heritage.

A highlight of the trek is the visit to Kyanjin Gompa, a revered Buddhist monastery that provides a meaningful cultural experience amidst the stunning Himalayan backdrop. The entire route lies within Langtang National Park, a sanctuary established to protect the region's remarkable wildlife and diverse flora. Guests will enjoy comfortable stays in welcoming guesthouses each night, ensuring restful evenings after scenic days on the trail.

Ideal for travelers seeking a moderate trekking adventure without venturing too far from Kathmandu, this 9-day journey is best experienced during the vibrant spring or autumn seasons. The USP of this trip is the blend of pristine alpine beauty with authentic local culture, all within a protected national park setting.

Tamang Heritage Trail w/ Megendra

Myself and my partner had a fantastic trip, spending a week on the Tamang Heritage Trail. Our guide, Megendra, was an expert at navigating the trails, connecting with locals and telling us the history of the area. The business owner was very helpful in getting our trip arranged in only one day, and for a very fair price. I can definitely recommend Megendra and his company to anyone looking for a fantastic Nepal trek!

Beautiful landscape but poor guide

The guide had no understanding of high sickness. My friend got really sick and he didn’t have the equipment to check oxygen. We had to convince him to go down at lower altitude with her. He was not good in English and he touched us in an uncomfortable way and wanted hugs all the time… which was weird. He also walked way to fast, something you should not do when walking 1000meter up in one day. The trek is beautiful, and I would recommend doing it on your own, there is not many places to walk wrong and many dining and sleeping places at the way.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
