Langtang Valley Trek Overview
The magnificent Langtang region is perfect for those seeking nature in abundance. Like all trekking regions in Nepal, Langtang is growing more popular, yet it’s less visited than the busy Everest and Annapurna regions. The Langtang Valley trek in Nepal ticks so many boxes! Being fairly short, it’s perfect for beginners or those with less time for trekking.
Trek through forests rich with flora and fauna including masses of rhododendrons (in full bloom in Spring), and spot exotic birds and monkeys! Relish the magic moment when you leave the jungle and step into the wide open space of the beautiful Langtang Valley. Then witness the enormity of the Himalaya when you spot Langtang Lirung (7,227m/23,711ft) for the first time! The highlight of our trek – we summit Kyanjin-Ri (4,773m/15,659ft) and enjoy one of the most spectacular 360° views!
The Langtang Valley trek includes some long walking days and steep ascents. So, we recommend you have a moderate level of fitness to do this trek.
Team Nepalorama trekked in the Langtang Valley in January 2018 – read our blog to find out more about this stunning trek. Or, read our clients’ recommendation from September 2018.
Trekking to Kyanjin Gumba (3,800m/12,467ft)
After an overnight stay in a comfortable 3* Kathmandu hotel, we travel to Langtang by tourist bus or private jeep. Both options take the best part of a day, with a jeep being slightly faster, safer and more comfortable. Our destination and the starting point of our trek is Syabrubesi, close to the Tibetan border. The river runs through this lovely town surrounded by steep mountains where Nepali and Tibetan people meet to do business.
We start our trek following the glacial blue waters of the holy Trisuli River flowing from Gosaikunda. We ascend gradually and sometimes steeply through stunning forests of rhododendrons (in full bloom in Spring). Spot grey langur monkeys playing in the trees, exotic birds and giant beehives clinging to the mountainside. After trekking through the jungle, when you step out into the beautiful Langtang Valley, the feeling of space is magical! The backdrop – Langtang Lirung (7,227m/23,711ft) is our destination! After three days of good walking we reach beautiful mountain settlement Kyanjin Gumba – our base for two nights as we rest and summit Kyanjin-Ri.
Summit Kyanjin-Ri (4,773m/15,659ft)
From Kyanjin Gumba, cast eyes on our summit – Kyanjin-Ri. We’ll climb steeply yet steadily for two to three hours watching the town of Kyanjin Gumba getting smaller and smaller. When you reach the summit, take a deep breath and feel the exhilaration as you take in the magnificent 360° view including a postcard perfect view of Langtang Lirung (7,227m/23,711ft). Colourful Tibetan prayer flags create the perfect frame for the many beautiful peaks that surround you.

Tour Reviews
I and my friend did Langtang Trek in Oct – Nov 2022 with Krishna and his team. It was my first time trekking in Nepal Himalayas, and everything was fantastic. Krishna and his team were warm and friendly while staying professional. All the arrangements followed the given program, and Krishna explained the schedule for next day to us every after dinner. The accommodations were well sorted. Besides the breathtakingly beautiful scenery, I enjoyed local culture and history told by Krishna. Before leaving for Nepal, Anna helped us organize the trip and answered all of our questions.
Thank you Krishna, Anna and the team for my wonderful time in Nepal. I would thoroughly recommend Nepalorama.
A group of us trekked to Langtang valley with Bibek from 26 September to 4 October 2022. This trip was my first time in Nepal, so I was quite worried about the food, and accommodation but Nepalorama organized the best things for us. During trekking, they booked hotels that provided a hot shower, and some nights also had an en-suite bathroom. Eating, we can choose whatever we want from the menu freely, and they provided fruits (apple and pomegranate) after dinner every day!
Bibek and 2 porters took care of us extremely well, I was really happy with this wonderful trip, it was one of the best memorable journeys of my life.
Many thanks to Bibek, Krishna and Porters 🙂
Can’t wait to visit Nepal again.
I choose Nepalorama Trekking Company for my Langtang Trek. Start from Kathmandu and go to Langtang National Park. The trek was tired due to the hot weather. After 2 days, was better.
The company organize a good room and good hotel. The food is included in the fee and I can choose wide variety of food in the menu. Very flexible.
The whole trip was nice and successful. Thank you.
Ana and Krishna were very helpful from the beginning. They created a very individual plan that fit my time budget and my trekking desires. Krishna and I had a great time on the trek. I enjoyed the quietness of the place and on the otherhand learning about nepal. The trip is more expensive than other agencies but a fair price for mountain guides is important. The one thing I would wish are better driving conditions. Part of this is due to nepali road conditions but it was also partially due to the driver‘s way overtaking.
Thank you very much for this short but beautiful trip. I will come back for more trekking.
We have just returned from what can only be described as a once in a lifetime holiday with Nepalorama to Kathmandu and the Langtang Valley. Travelling with Nepalorama really made our trip and we would recommend them to anyone looking to go trekking in Nepal.
In the run up to our trip Anna was absolutely brilliant. As first time trekkers in Nepal we naturally had alot of questions and Anna answered all of them promptly with expert advice and knowledge and really went above and beyond to make sure we were prepared for our trip.
Before leaving for Nepal Anna told us we had the pleasure of Krishna as our guide, one of the best trekking guides in Nepal and she was not wrong. From the minute he met us at the airport with marigold garlands and a big smile Krishna never hesitated to make sure we were comfortable and getting the most out of our trip. He is hugely knowledgeable about the mountains and his enthusiasm for Nepal and the natural environment is contagious. Krishna made what could have been a complicated trip totally seamless we didnt have to think about a thing, leaving us to just concentrate on putting one foot infront of the other up the mountain. Even when back in Kathmandu, Krishna went above and beyond to organise a day trip out to the world heritage sites in the Kathmandu valley and made sure we saw all of the best sights of the city.
We also had the good fortune to have Krishna’s brother Shiva as our porter on the trip, Shiva did everything with a huge smile and was the loveliest porter we could have hoped for.
Nepal really is the most stunning country and Nepalorama do everything to make sure you make the most of all the country has to offer. We could not recommend Nepalorama more and will be definitely telling all of our friends travelling to Nepal in the future to book with Anna, Krishna and the team too!
Me and my partner found Nepalorama on a blog, which gave rave reviews of Krishna and his other guides, so we decided to go with them for our Langtang Valley trek as part of a 2 week vacation in Nepal.
We were lucky enough to get Krishna himself as our guide and his brother Shiva as a porter. Both were incredible friendly and couldn’t do more for us throughout the whole trip. They sorted out all the accommodation, making sure that we got the best room in every tea house, bringing us regular cups of tea to keep us warm and telling us about the history of the region and the mountains looming over us. The pace of the trek was judged perfectly as well!
The organisation was initially done through Anna, who was also extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and getting us a great deal on the Mulberry Hotel in Kathmandu (it has a rooftop bar and pool so a great way to relax after the trek)
Thanks to Krishna, Shiva and Anna! We will definitely be back for another adventure!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better month of trekking in Nepal, and this was all thanks to the fantastic team at Nepalorama. From the outset of planning our trip Anna was just absolutely fantastic- so knowledgeable and helpful on every single point. Her enthusiasm and passion for wanting to make our bespoke treks perfect was impressive. Nepalorama really are a trekking company with a difference- they are the most wonderful people and you’re very lucky if you get to trek with them. We completed 2 treks with Nepalorama- one to Everest Base Camp and one in the Langtang Valley. We had a guide called Bibek. He was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING- we really couldn’t have asked for a better guide and will stay in touch with him always. Krishna was so helpful whilst we were in Kathmandu and we are really thankful for everything they did for us. We left a big piece of our hearts on the trails in magical Nepal and we can’t wait to go back again, all thanks to Nepalorama.
My boyfriend and I did the Langtang Valley trek with Nepalorama in early September ‘18 and it was fantastic! Everything was great – Anna was very responsive right from the start and answered all our questions which made organising the trip really smooth and easy.
Krishna (our guide) and our porter were both incredible. It was our first time trekking and so having someone to guide us and help us along the way, tell us about the area and history, and organise tea huts (with lots of tasty dal bhat along the way) was really useful.
If/when we go back to Nepal for more trekking, we’d definitely use Nepalorama again and would thoroughly recommend them!
