Lantang Valley Trek is a famous trekking package among the adventure trekkers which visits the Lantang Valley. The valley offers pine forest, swift mountain streams, rugged rock, and snow-capped peaks, grassy down and meadows are strewn with daises and wild animals. This trek is ideal for people who wish to avoid trekking over the Laurebina pass 4610 meters.
Langtang Valley is another attraction in Rasuwa, aptly called the valley of glaciers; mountains rise soaring toward the sky. The main ethnic groups here are Sherpa and Tamang whose religious practices, languages, and dress are very similar to those of Tibet.
Commence with an overland journey to Syabrubesi. A few hour's drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, the trek starts following the ragging Langtang River across the dense forest of Langtang national park which eventually takes us to Langtang village (3,541m) and Kyanjin Gompa (3,900m).
It is one of the most popular trekking regions for those wishing a short trek in the Himalayas of Nepal. The Tibetan lifestyle greatly influences Langtang Valley; locals are descendants of Tibetan origin. Varieties of Rhododendron, majestic waterfalls, bamboo forests, snow-capped mountains, and hair-rising landscapes make you walk a diverse experience. Join us and entertain your adventure life with an adventure walk.
Autumn (mid-Sept to mid-December) and Spring(March to May) are the best seasons for the Langtang Valley Trek. The weather is sunny and warm, with outstanding views but the nights are a little cold. Winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) is also good for the Langtang Valley trek although it will be a little colder.
From Kathmandu, we drive for approx 8 hours to Syabru Beshi. After driving 30 kms, we approach pristine villages on the banks of the river Trishuli. We also get to view the enchanting panorama of the Himalaya, including the Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and the peaks of the Langtang region. Stay overnight at tea house.
Today, the first part of our trail crosses through Bhote Koshi and follows the Langtang Khola. Then the trail gradually ascents up to Bamboo passing through Landslide. Afterwards, our trek ascends gently to Rimche (2400m.) through Bamboo (1960m.) which lies at the bank of Langtang Khola. We will have lunch at this place if you like. And at the end our trail we level to the Lama Hotel. En route we could see red pandas, monkey and bear if we are lucky. Stay overnight at tea house.
Trek from Lama Hotel to Langtang village via Ghora Tabela which takes about five to six hours. As we continue climbing there are occasional glimpses of Langtang Lirung between the trees. At Ghora Tabela [3000m], the trail emerges from the forest. While walking here, we can catch a glimpse of white monkeys and local birds.
Once there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepalese army post though it has no permanent inhabitants. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer months. There is a monastery which we can visit shortly before arriving at the village of Langtang, the headquarters of the Langtang National Park. The houses of Langtang and its neighboring villages are of the flat-roofed Tibetan style, surrounded by stone walls enclosing fields of buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, turnips and barley. Stay overnight at tea house.
Our trail climbs gradually through small villages and yak pastures as the valley opens out further and the views become more extensive. After crossing several small streams and moraines, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyangjin. Here, there is a small monastery and a government-operated cheese factory. We should arrive at Kyangjin by lunch time allowing time to acclimatize and explore the area. It is a dramatic setting, with snow covered peaks surrounding us in all directions. At this point, we can enjoy the panoramic view of Dorje Larpa (6990m.), Langtang Ri (6370m.), Langtang Lirung (7245m.) and so on. Stay overnight at tea house.
This is a day to rest and explore the area. Rest day at Kyangjin Gompa and excursion in and around.

Stay overnight at tea house.
