Langtang Valley Trek Overview:

Langtang Valley Trek offers a pleasant, enjoyable, and ideal journey. The Langtang Himalayas, the native culture, and stunning mountain views make it so popular. It is a fascinating and beautiful destination in Nepal. The distance from Kathmandu is only 137 km. The Langtang Valley Trek is a trek that takes you off the beaten path for the most part. This 10-day Langtang Trek will take you to the Langtang Himalayas and its unique culture. You will also be able to immerse yourself in nature and culture with no hassle.

 The Langtang Valley Trek itinerary will introduce you to the spectacular scenery of Nepal's Langtang Valley. You'll begin your trek in the village of Syabrubesi and climb through lush bamboo forests, rhododendrons, and other plants to reach the Tibetan Buddhist temple of Kyangjin Gompa. You can also hike to the top of Kyangjin Ri, which offers 360-degree panoramic views of the Langtang Himal mountain range.

Langtang Valley Trekking offers a distinctive journey, guiding you through breathtaking peaks as you wander at your own pace through the picturesque Langtang valleys. This is a beautiful opportunity to see the Langtang Glacier, different landscapes, wild animals, renovated villages, and a local dairy factory. You can also discover an old Buddhist monastery, magnificent mountains, and unusual scenarios. This trek is made more authentic by the peak of Langtang Lirung and the culture of Tamang. 

The 10-Day Langtang Trek is a short trek that offers breathtaking views of the mountains and a fun walk through the valleys. It is possible to drive from Kathmandu for 6 hours and reach Syabrubeshi or Dhunche. There is no airport in Langtang, so going is the only option. The six-day itinerary of our company Adventure Club Trek includes Syabrubeshi, Bambo,Lama Hotel, Ghoda Tabela, Khangsher, Langtang Village, Mundo Village, Kyanjin Gompa - Kathmandu.

The Kyanjin Gompa/village has old Buddhist Monasteries and a small cheese factory. This is one of the best local cheeses in the Langtang region. The best way to make the trek memorable is by interacting with the locals and taking pictures of their children. Kyanjin Gompa, the last teahouse in the short Langtang Trek, is a great place to discover hidden beauty. You will pass through remote and lightly populated areas.  The mesmerizing views will make your heart beat faster. The stunning vistas of the glacier moraine to the north offer a breathtaking panorama of Langtang Ri against the backdrop of the crystal-clear sky.

Syabru Besi is where the epic foot trail of Langtang Valley Treks ends. After completing the trek, you will drive in reverse back to Kathmandu. Imagine you are looking for a more challenging trek than the Langtang Valley Trek. You can join our Langtang Gosainkunda Helambu trek or Langtang Valley Trek with Ganja La Pass.

Meals During the trek 

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided during the trek, and breakfast will only be provided in Kathmandu. We host welcome and farewell dinners for our guests. During the trek, we have breakfast and dinner at tea houses or lodges where we spend nights, and lunch at tea houses will be served on the way. You have the option to choose from Nepali, continental, Tibetan, and Indian cuisines. As we care for our guests, we ensure you are getting healthy food. We prioritize locally produced organic food and also provide you with seasonable fruits. During the climbing session, hygienic, freshly cooked food will be provided.

NoteIf you are a vegetarian, let us know in advance so that we can make proper arrangements for food as per your wish during the trek

Accommodation during the Trip

You will be accommodated in a three-star standard hotel in Kathmandu and the best available teahouses during the trek. All accommodations are on a twin-shared basis. A single supplement will be served on request and will cost an additional. Since you will be trekking in remote regions, the services in the teahouses/guesthouse will be essential. We will try our best to arrange rooms with attached washrooms; however, some teahouses still need attached bathrooms.

Drinking Water during the Trip

Adventure Club provides all the meals on the trek but needs to provide Water. The best option is to treat the local Water with chlorine/iodine tablets or a steripen. The tea houses will give you good quality free water, and you can also get along the trail, but you will need to treat it. If you use the tablets, make sure they dissolve completely (about 30 mins). On most treks, you can buy mineral water along the trail. A liter of mineral water at lower-elevation tea houses costs around USD 1, but at higher elevations, it can cost up to $4, so the cost can add up.

Useful Info

Acclimatization And High-Altitude Sickness

The acclimatization planned during the trip helps trekkers adapt to the environment with less oxygen. Our bodies need time to adjust to higher altitudes. Rushing to the higher elevation without acclimatization may result in acute mountain sickness (AMS), which could be fatal. The trekkers may suffer from AMS above 2,400m/7,875ft as the amount of oxygen becomes less and less with the increase in elevation.

We can categorize AMS into three categories, including its symptoms. The trekker suffering from regular AMS feels giddy, gets headaches and nausea, and is out of breath. It would help if you did not worry as it disappears after the body gets used to less oxygen. Likewise, trekkers suffering from mild AMS show symptoms of dizziness, muscular pain, insomnia, headache, vomiting, loss of appetite, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. Mild AMS can be treated with anti-headache medicines.

A person suffering from severe AMS shows heightened symptoms, including shortness of breath, even while taking rest. The trekker with severe symptoms can barely walk, and fluids may start building up in the lungs. The trekker with severe AMS must be taken to a lower altitude immediately.

Advanced cases of AMS

If AMS is not treated in time, it can be life-threatening and lead to edema, a condition in which fluid accumulates in the tissues of the body. Following are the two serious altitude sicknesses caused at high altitudes.

High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)

In HACE, the brain gets swollen, which can lead to coma and even death. Its symptoms are paralysis on one side of the body, bladder dysfunction, fatigue, bowel dysfunction, loss of coordination, and confusion. Descend to a lower altitude as soon as possible to prevent the worsening of the condition.

High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE)

Fluid accumulates in the lungs, which increases capillary pressure. Its symptoms include severe shortness of breath at rest, dry cough that later leads to producing pink frothy sputum, and fatigue. Important Note: Severe cases of AMS are rare. All our Adventure Club Trek guides are aware of the symptoms of AMS and can handle it with care. We prioritize acclimatization, talk about the use of Diamox beforehand, and counsel all our trekkers on the risk and preventive factors before and during the trip. Your safety is our main concern.

First-Aid Kit

Our guides and porters are equipped with a basic first-aid kit during regular treks. For expeditions that take on isolated and off-the-beaten trekking paths, a comprehensive first-aid kit is compulsory; the same goes for climbing expeditions as well.

  • A bandage in case of sprains.
  • Plasters/ Band-aids and antiseptic ointments for simple cuts
  • Iodine or water filter (optional) instead of buying bottled mineral water
  • Moleskin/Second skin in case of blisters.
  • Aspirin/Paracetamol -painkiller.
  • Oral rehydration salts-Nava Jeevan or Jeevan Jal (orange-flavored ORS)
  • The broad-spectrum antibiotic (norfloxacin or ciprofloxacin).
  • Anti-diarrhea medication (antibiotic).
  • Diarrheal stopper (Imodium - optional).
  • Diamox 250/500mg (for altitude sickness).
  • Gel hand cleaner/sanitizer.

Note: We can add medical supplies per the trekkers' unique needs to the first-aid kit given above.

Equipment And Packing List

We recommend that you bring the items to the list below. If your trek is longer or shorter than that, appropriate adjustments can be made to reflect the specific requirements, season, and length of the trip. Adventure Club Trek will provide the items marked with an asterisk (*) at no additional cost. You can use such articles but prefer your own if you already have them. Many trekking items can be bought cheaply in the Thamel neighborhood of Kathmandu; quality will vary, with the imported from China often being of higher quality. There are also several high-end shops in Kathmandu which carry well-known brands. Since our porters will carry your pack, please remember the weight limitation is 15kg (33 lbs since there is nothing there but some prayer flags. Also, please note that you still need to send me a gear list.

Visa And Entry Procedure 

Everyone except Indian nationals needs a visa to enter Nepal. Citizens of the SAARC nations like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Bhutan do not require a visa for 30 days. Fortunately, getting a Nepal visa is an easy process. Tourist visas and official overland entry points are issued on arrival at the international airport. However, travelers from Afghanistan, Iraq, Cameroon, Ghana, Somalia, Swaziland, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Liberia have yet to be issued a visa on arrival. After arriving at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will find electronic kiosks to assist you in processing your visa. Taking the completed form and paying the visa fee, you must stay in the long immigration queue for your visa on arrival.

Visitors can now apply for an online visa within 15 days of their arrival date in Nepal. To do so, you will need your Nepal hotel address and a digital passport-sized photo uploaded to the online application. After submitting the form online, you need to print out the confirmation page, which must be furnished at the immigration section in Kathmandu airport, along with your passport and the required visa fee. 

Tourists can also apply for a Nepali visa at the local Nepali Embassy or Consulate in their respective countries. They can even mail their visa application to the office nearby, but well ahead, to allow sufficient processing time. Nepal visa information for all categories of travelers and their correspondence costs can be convenient, so for more information and contact details of the Nepali Embassies and Consulate around the world, 

Whichever way you enter Nepal, you will be given a 15/30/90-day visa as required. The general Nepal tourist visa fee on arrival for multiple entries is:

15 days – US$30, 30 days – US$50, and 90days – US$125

Tourist visas can be extended for a maximum of 150 days a year, and these extensions are granted only at the Department of immigration offices in Pokhara and Kathmandu. For more information on Nepal visas, visit our visa information page.

Our Trekking Guides/Leaders 

Here at Adventure Club, our staff is like family. We only use locals to support their communities and train our staff rigorously to be the best they can be – for you! 

  •  Full first-aid training
  • Guide Training (trekking)
  • English and other common languages (as requested) 
  • Village and Land Conservation 
  • Mountaineering (for specialty expeditions or climbing treks)

All our guides are carefully trained for leadership, as good leadership is vital for your trek to be enjoyable, safe, and successful. Most of our guides grew up in Sherpa country or other mountainous parts of Nepal. Their pride in their region shows itself in the way they lead treks and interface with you. 

Porters Care

On any team, courtesy and respect are fundamental for an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Our porters are an essential, integral part of each trekking team, and as such, they are well-treated and well-paid. After your trek, you will find that they have fully earned your gratitude and respect. We expect all trekkers to keep their baggage weight under 15kgs/33lbs. Adventure Club Trek maintains a total commitment to the rights of our porters, providing them with appropriate clothing, gear, and lodging. In case of severe accident or sickness, they receive the same care as anyone else employed on the trekking team, even including evacuation by helicopter at our expense if appropriate. We fully support the IPPG (International Porter Protection Group), which strives to maintain and improve our porter's working conditions.

Travel Insurance

To be adequately protected in terms of insurance, you will need specialist travel insurance for participation in hazardous activities. A travel insurance policy that covers helicopter evacuation, trip cancellation, injury, death, lost baggage, theft, liability, medical treatment, and expenses is strongly recommended. Ensure the insurance covers all the activities you will be undertaking during your stay in Nepal, such as trekking and climbing. If you are injured and unable to travel, you can ask for a rescue helicopter from a remote area, but only if you have definite proof can you pay for it. Adventure Club Trek has an agreement in Kathmandu that guarantees payment for helicopter evacuations. They pay a cash deposit to the helicopter operator and collect the money from you once you have been rescued. Be sure your policy specifically covers mountaineering or alpinism, or you may need help settling a claim.

Electricity, WIFI, And Battery Recharge 

During the Langtang Valley trek, electricity is available at all the teahouses where you will spend the night. You can recharge your phones, laptops, or iPads from micro-hydropower and solar panels by paying a nominal charge. Regarding Wi-Fi, there are no free hotspots along the trekking trail, so we do not encourage carrying your laptop. Some teahouses offer paid Wi-Fi services hourly but expect high-speed connectivity on something other than the remote trails.

Communication On Trek 

On the Langtang Valley Trek in Nepal, the internet service will be available at lodges with some extra service charge. You can contact your family and friends from the guesthouses, but as we reach high altitudes, communication will be done through the phone for safety purposes. We communicate with all our valuable clients through the team leader at least once daily to ensure you are fine and enjoying the trip. The Adventure Club Trek office in Kathmandu will constantly contact you for help you may need during the trek. Depending on your network, there could be a poor signal to the network before the high altitude. We can provide you with a separate local SIM card for a better network upon your request. Many places have WIFI service available at an extra cost.

Tipping

Tipping is optional in Nepal, as most services include a service charge. However, if you want to express gratitude, you can tip drivers, hotel staff, and others. People usually welcome such generosity. When tipping your porters or trekking leaders, use your discretion as per the quality of the services. Tip money does not form a part of our employees' wages. However, you can use tipping to show appreciation for excellent service at the end of the trip.

    Worth Every Penny

    This trip wouldn't have been the same without Birendra's expertise and planning. Everything went smoothly and any request we had was taken care of by Birendra or his staff. Might I also add, this was very reasonably priced and once we were out hiking in the Lang Tang region the 24-hour attentiveness by our guide (shout out to Kamal!) and our porters made me feel it was worth every penny. My friends and I will be back in Nepal and will most definitely go through Birendra for our traveling needs!

    Best Trekking in Nepal

    We had an amazing experience trekking in the Langtang valley. Since it was my first time in Nepal, I did not know what to expect. Birendra organized everything on our itinerary, from site seeing in Kathmandu to all of our needs while trekking for 10 days. Since Birendra is native to Nepal, he is well connected and was able to arrange everything we needed. As for the trekking, our guide Kamal was very knowledgeable about the terrain and always had our safety in mind. He always made sure we were well fed and comfortable in each Tea house we stayed at. I would not trust anyone else but Birendra's team at Adventure Club Treks. They're the best! I would 100% recommend them to anyone, at all skill levels.
