Langtang Valley Trekking
Overview
Trip Information
The Langtang Valley Trekking is the nearest Himalayan Region from Kathmandu Valley, and a few hours' drives from Kathmandu take you to the beautiful Langtang Region. Even though the Langtang Region is very close to Kathmandu, it is as wild as any Tibetan highland with an idyllic rural landscape. The people of the highlands in the Langtang region are undoubtedly Nepalese; however, being a descendant of the Tibetan origin, they look like the Tibetans. Hence, the Langtang region is one of the most popular trekking regions for those wishing to go on a short trek from Kathmandu into the Himalayas influenced by Tibetan lifestyles. Accompanying it, the varieties of rhododendron, bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of the most varied treks around Kathmandu.
Despite the massive earthquake that hit Nepal in April 2015, which destroyed this region, people are brave enough to conserve their culture and life style. Now they have completely renovated what was destroyed. However, the Avalanche landmark is still there.
The 11 Days Langtang Valley Trek begins with a day's drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. We start the walking from Syabrubesi. We go uphill to Lama Hotel and Langtang village till we reach to the well-known Kanyanjing Gompa. After the exploration of the region, we trek the same route to Syabrubesi from where we drive to Kathmandu.
Please Note: Check the detailed itinerary. If you want to minimize or maximize the number of days, number of pax, and the time of the year you're traveling, kindly let us know. We'll send you the customized itinerary.

Customer Reviews
Trek up Langtang Valley
Doug welch | 8523 Creekwood Way Fair Oaks, CA USA 95628
I am 71 years old and made the arrangements for the trek from home in California. I sent in the money for the trip in advance of leaving the USA. When I arrived in Kathmandu there were no surprises, extra fees, hidden issues that had not already been addressed by Adventure Pilgrim Trekking. I strongly recommend this company to others considering a trip to Nepal. Govinda is quite interested in retaining a company with an excellent reputation and his services reflect that. His company will work with you whether you are a group of many or a solo traveler. It was a pleasure to have had them working to put my experiences together. Thank you.
