Langtang Valley Trek

Ranked #4 in our top five trekking in Nepal, the Langtang Valley Trek isn’t an ordinary one on the list. It lies in the Rasuwa district, and you don’t even need an extra flight to reach the starting point!

The highest point of the Langtang Valley trek is Tserko Ri (4985 m), and you get to witness the beautiful mountains from the top. These include Langtang Lirung (7,234 m), Ganesh Himal (7,422 m), Loenpo Gang (6,979 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), Gang Cheenpo (6,412 m), Naya Kangri (5,844 m), Yala peak (5,500 m), and other smaller peaks.

Your trek doesn’t start from Kathmandu though. You’ll have to reach Syapru Besi (1,462 m) first, and then the trek takes about four days to reach the top.

After Syapru Besi, the real adventure of Langtang Valley begins as you move towards the Lama Hotel. The journey is then followed by reaching Langtang Village on the next day, and Kyanjin Gompa the following day.

Leaving your stuff behind, you’ll hike to Tserko Ri and come back to Kyanjin Gompa on the same day. With your tired legs, you’ll return to the same path and complete the trek in eight days (which includes the drive back to Kathmandu).

However, this Langtang Valley Trekking Package is curated for 10 days, which includes your Nepal arrival and departure. That’s because we take care of our guests from day 0 itself.

Talking about the trekking difficulty, we can consider this Langtang trek to be moderate. This means that even beginners can complete this. In fact, if you have prior experience trekking in the Himalayas, you might find it even easier. We won’t be surprised if you complete it in even fewer days!

But one important thing to keep in mind when trekking in a high-elevation region is altitude sickness. Since we shall be heading to 4,985 m, the risk of altitude sickness feels real in the Rasuwa District.

There’s more to learn and Mount Glory has come up with this guide to help you navigate through the trails of Langtang Valley. Make sure to read this article until the end to get complete insights into this trek.

Short Langtang Valley Trek Major Attractions

It’s time to highlight the major landmarks and natural and artificial attractions of the Langtang Valley trek in the Rasuwa District.

Just like other parts of the Himalayan region in Nepal, Langtang Valley mainly features Tibetan people. Thus, it’s very important to respect their lifestyle and culture.

The main religion here is Buddhism, and the major caste is Tamang, covering more than 80% of the population here (nearly 120 sub-clans in the Tamang caste). Nonetheless, you can still find people who follow Animism and Hinduism.

Considering the uniqueness of Nepal, you can communicate in basic English. The people here definitely understand the national Nepali language. However, their main language is Tibeto-Burmese.

When you’re doing the Langtang Trek, you’ll be blessed with the alpine meadows & pastures, along with lush oak & rhododendron forests. Not to forget about the glaciers and moraines, too.

But even more than these, let us share with you the actual major natural attractions of this place.

The Buffer Zone: Langtang National Park

To do the Langtang Valley Trek, you have to visit the Rasuwa District of Nepal. There, the region belongs to Langtang National Park, which was established in 1976 and is of 1710 sq. km area.

The uniqueness here is its flora and fauna. Reportedly, you can find Chirpine, Rhododendron, Nepalese alder, oak trees, silver fir, hemlock, and other plant species. It’s also home to the Himalayan black bear, red panda, goral, snow leopard, wild dog, serow, and 250+ species of birds.

Since this is a protected area, a national park permit is required for your 10-day trek to Langtang Valley. Not to forget that even the holy Gosaikunda Lake and Panch Pokhari fall in the same region (but are not included in this travel package).

During your entire trip, you’ll be walking along the banks of the Bhote Koshi & Langtang Khola rivers. It’s truly a trekking destination that leads to peace, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Serenity of Kyanjin Gompa

One of the prime destinations during the Langtang Valley Trek is the Kyanjin Gompa, which is considered to be the heart of the region. There are Buddhist monasteries here, and many Gautam Buddha followers visit here for enlightenment.

Another highlight of Kyanjin Gompa is a local cheese factory. If you’ve heard of Langtang’s Himalayan hygienic Yak cheese, it’s exactly from here!

From here, you might have guessed that the village is full of life, right? And yes, it is. When you’re here, make sure to respect the culture while learning their lifestyle.

Wonderful Day Hike to Tserko Ri Viewpoint at 4985 m

Tserko Ri is the highest point of the Langtang Valley Trek at an elevation of 4,985 m. Here, you’ll enjoy the panoramic mountain views of Ganesh Himal (7,422 m), Langtang Lirung (7324 m), Dorje Lakpa (6966 m), Gangchempo (Langtang Ri 7205 m), Porong Ri (7292 m), and Yala Peak (5520 m).

You’ll be hiking to the viewpoint of Tserko Ri on the sixth day of this Langtang Valley trip. In fact, due to being in a high-altitude region, we won’t stay long and return to Kyanjin Gompa the same day.
