Langtang Trek

The Langtang Trek is one of Nepal’s most stunning trekking experiences, offering breathtaking scenery, rich cultural encounters, and an opportunity to support the local communities still recovering from the 2015 earthquake. The disaster, along with an avalanche, nearly wiped out Langtang Village, the heart of the valley. However, through aid and reconstruction efforts, the valley has reopened for trekking, and we are proud to have been among the first trekking companies to reach Langtang Village post-earthquake, assisting locals with winter blanket distribution.

In an effort to revive tourism and support local livelihoods, we are offering this unforgettable trekking experience. Not only is it still a magnificent trek, but your visit will also contribute directly to the economic sustainability of the region.

You will trek through the magnificent forests of the Langtang Valley to the alpine meadows and yak pastures around Kyangjin Gompa. After an (optional) ascent of Kyangjin Ri (peak), where the 360-degree views of the Himalayan Mountains are truly spectacular, you can retrace your route back down the valley to Syabru besi and then drive back to Kathmandu.
