Langtang trekking is one of the top three Nepal trekking routes, alongside the famous Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Circuit. This unforgettable journey takes you deep into the Langtang Valley, nestled between the icy waters of the Langtang Khola and the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayan base camp range.
This week-long adventure begins in the small town of Syaphrubesi and ascends through dense forests of bamboo, rhododendron, and pine. As you follow the river upstream, the trail gradually climbs to the picturesque village of Kyanjin Gompa (3,870m), the highest point of this trek. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Langtang Lirung and hike to scenic ridges or opt for side trips to glacier valleys and high Himalayan passes like Naya Kang and Dzonla Pass.
Although the Langtang trekking region was deeply affected by the 2015 earthquake, the local communities have shown remarkable resilience. Today, trails have been rebuilt, guesthouses reopened, and the valley is once again open for trekkers. Supporting this region through tourism helps locals revive their livelihoods and preserve their culture and natural surroundings.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural exploration, or nature immersion, Langtang Valley trekking offers an ideal trekking in Nepal experience with easier access, moderate altitude, and outstanding Himalayan scenery.

- Ideal for trekkers looking for a shorter Himalayan base camp trek
