8 Days Langtang Valley Trek: 8 Days Trek Itinerary and Cost
Trek in the beautiful Langtang valley with a local specialist, Welcome Nepal Trek, who has been organizing adventurous trips in the Langtang National Park and throughout the Himalayas for over a decade. Located north of Kathmandu, the Langtang valley is home to the indigenous group Tamangs and several species of plants & animals. This 8 days Langtang valley trek is an adventurous venture that lets you explore the lush rhododendron forests, lovely hillsides, and picturesque villages of the Langtang region.
Langtang region is also known as the valley of glaciers. The Langtang valley trail offers stunning mountain views of Ganesh Himal (7,422 m), Langtang Lirung (7,234 m), Yala Peak (5,500 m), Dorje Lhakpa (6,966 m), Shishapangma (8,027 m), and many others. Likewise, the landscapes are like the ones from fairytale books. The gentle trail winds through the sides of the rough hills to Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m), the most significant religious site in the whole Langtang region.
After the heartbreaking earthquake of 2015, the region has quite developed in recent years and is completely back to life once again. The locals of the Langtang region are no doubt very welcoming and humble. Their ancient Tibetan Buddhism roots and lifestyle will inspire you a lot. If you would like to spend more time with the local community and be part of their daily lives in a profound manner, then the Tamang Heritage trek is an ideal option.
The lush forests, high alpine meadows, and yak pastures make trekking tempting. The 8 Days Langtang valley trekking is for the true hearts who are open to compromising modern conveniences in exchange for the most gorgeous scenery and lifetime experience. Unlike the famous Everest base camp trek and the Annapurna base camp trek, the Langtang valley trekking route is not crowded. Even though the starting point of the trail is easily accessible from Kathmandu, not many travelers visit the Langtang region, making it unspoiled and exotic.
The warm hospitality of the villages and delightful guest house stays are excellent too. The riches of the Langtang National Park will amaze you. While trekking you will cross suspension bridges, streams, and waterfalls. There are numerous stupas, chortens, mani walls, and prayer wheels along the way. Be careful while walking past yaks and mules. Always be on the cliffside and stay still until they walk past you.
Trekking in the Langtang region will support the local community a lot. As tourism is one of the main sources of income and growth for them, you'll be doing a great deed as well. The highest point of the trek is Tserko Ri (5,033 m), which offers a jaw-dropping mountain panorama and wonderful sunrise. From this point, the trail retraces back to Syabrubesi (2,380 m), where the trek ends. As it is an organized trek, an experienced guide will trek with you.
