Langtang Valley Trek

My husband and I just completed the 8-day Langtang Valley trek! We were guided by the amazing expert Ramesh, and our superman porter (and skillful jeep driver) Suresh. We had such a great time and are feeling very accomplished. We feel fortunate to have had these fellows with us as they made the trip so much more fun and interesting. They were patient, funny and never seemed annoyed at my very slow rate of both ascent and descent. Ramesh guided my husband Kevin up Tsergo Ri at an early hour while Suresh showed me around Kenjin Gompa and the yak cheese factory, and helped me while I had some mild altitude sickness. I felt like we were traveling with pals rather than hired hands. The trek itself was amazing. We had perfect weather and made excellent time despite my slowness! We ended up finishing a day early, and so on Ramesh’s suggestion we headed to Chisopani so we could ring in the new year with a mountain sunrise. It ended up being cold and cloudy, but keeping warm at the campfire talking with the guys was one of my most memorable moments of the trip. With this tour operator, you are well taken care of and you will have such a great experience!

Trekking is very beautiful, easy and with a variety of landscapes. Highly recommended to use the jeep instead of the public transportation. Tea Houses have very high standard compare to other areas, no need to pack big luggage.

Planning, pace, preparatons all went 100% and better. We couldnt have wished for a better guide and sherpa

I did the 8 day Langtang valley trek with a friend in early december and we had a great experience altogether.

Recommended for novice trekkers but quite challenging for older people with 1000m elevation gain each day on rough trails. Poles are a "must have". Trail opens up after 2nd day which is great for viewing the scenery. Views in Kyanjin spectacular. Primitive lodgings, especially at Lama Hotel. Expect to share squattie toilets and have few western comforts such as lighting, hot water etc. Take water purification tablets and water bladders since all supplies (including mineral water) are packed in by donkeys or porters. Road to Syabrubesi is terrible so take a reliable jeep rather than the bus. Expect at least 1 flat tire each way.
