About:

 

The Langtang Valley makes every trekker’s heart thunder in their chest with its stunning landscape, interesting Tamang culture,

 

 

 

It is one of the beautiful treks you could choose in Nepal, just a day’s drive away from Kathmandu. While Langtang Valley might not be as popular as ABC or EBC, it is also one of the most breathtaking journeys, with the coolest routes and many ascends and descents.

 

 

 

With a few days left until your vacation in Nepal or just to experience one of the magical places of Nepal for the first time, Langtang Valley can be a perfect option, as it is one of the shorter hiking routes in Nepal.

 

 

 

If you wish, it can also be combined with the Tamang Heritage Trail.

Starting with a drive to Syabrubesi, we will take a long walk to the Lama Hotel the next day. Gradually ascending to Bamboo through a forest of oak, rhododendron, and ramche, we will get to sight rare flora and fauna, along with red pandas and langur monkeys. The next day, we will hike to Langtang village. A village right ahead from here will give views of Langtang Lirung, Changbu, and Kinshung Peak, along with mani stone walls. Hiking to Kyanjin Ri (4,300m) is the highlight, along with Kyangjin Gompa, which we will explore on day 5.

With a good breakfast in the morning, start today’s trek with a walk across the Bhote Koshi River (meaning ‘Tibet River’) and Langtang Khola. With a gradual ascend to Bamboo through sub-tropical forest with oak trees and rhododendron, walk across the landslide-prone area. Walking across this area, going next to the riverside, take a break at Ramche. Walking further will take you to the Lama Hotel.

 

 

 

The trail through the forest to Lama Hotel can be quite steep, but you will finally find it worth it when you reach the destination of the day.

With a gentle climb, the valley slowly opens as you walk through Thyangsyapu and Chyamki, and you can walk half of the trail through the valley, where you can even see yaks grazing.

 

 

 

Our destination of the day is Langtang village. The ascent might not be long, but it will be tough due to the higher elevations.
