Trip Overview 

The Langtang Valley trek is hands down the best trekking route in terms of time, value for money and the up close-jaw dropping mountain views trekkers get to experience. Unlike the treks in the Annapurna region, the Langtang Valley trek is less crowded with travelers so it feels more pristine, untouched, secluded from commercialization and does not have a lot of stone steps

The trek starts from Syabru Besi where the hills are covered with flora and lush greenery. The trail initially passes by fascinating Tamang villages, river powered prayer wheels and natural springs. As the elevation picks up, you get the first glimpse of the Langtang Ri which will make you hungry for more of the snow capped mountain view. The trail’s landscape gets drier and rockier with increased elevation, with horses and Yaks accompanying you in the trail.

You can get a sense of real Himalayan lifestyle once you reach the Langtang Valley, which was also one of the drastically affected regions during the 2015 earthquake. Make sure you walk on the left side of the symbolic Buddhist Mani Stones (Prayer Walls) while heading to Kaynajin Gomba (3870 m.), the final resting point for the Langtang Trek.

The highlight of the trek is when you are on top of the Kyanjin Ri (4980 m.) or Tsergo Ri (5033 m.) and you can see panoramic views of the Ganesh and Langtang mountain ranges. Pay close attention and you might be able to see tumbling glaciers far away in the mountain ranges. This breathtaking trek is truly rewarding, it will put a big smile on your face and leave you feeling accomplished.
