Comprehensive Trek Overview

This is one of the most popular trekking areas in Nepal. The Langtang National Park encompasses beautiful landscapes, meadows, and old monasteries.

This trek will pleasantly surprise you as you walk past the forests savoring the stunning views of mountains, valleys, and glaciers. The Chortens, mani walls, and monasteries reflect the influence of the Buddhist religion in this peaceful region. There are opportunities for side treks such as a hike to Tserko Ri or Kyanjin Ri.

The trek begins with a drive along the Trishuli River, north of Kathmandu, past Trishuli Bazaar and Dhunche to Syabru Bensi, a Sherpa village. This route is an ancient trading route between Nepal and Tibet.

As you walk past numerous forests, you might spot local wildlife like the musk deer, Himalayan monal, tahrs, wild dogs, serows, or even snow leopards.

It will take you two days to reach Langtang. You will be trekking from Syabrubesi to Lama Hotel on your first day on the route. Then the next day from Lama Hotel, you will reach Langtang Village, where you will receive a hearty welcome from the local Tamangs.

The next day we will trek to Kyanjin Gompa, where we will spend one extra day acclimatizing. While acclimatizing, we will be exploring the local monasteries, visiting a cheese factory, and hiking to Tserko Ri (5,450m/17,880ft) Viewpoint. From this viewpoint, you will see stunning views of glaciers and high mountains like Langtang Lirung (7,227m), Langtang II (6,586m), Yala Peak (5,520m), and Naya Khang (5,844m).

Another important viewpoint is Kyanjin Ri at an elevation of (4,773m / 15,655 ft), which provides majestic views of the entire Langtang Lirung face and Langtang Lirung Glacier below the peak.

The whole trek experience will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. From Kyanjin Gompa, we return to the Lama Hotel trekking south and then back to Syabrubesi. The next day we will take a bus back to Kathmandu, which will take about seven to nine hours. You will return to your respective hotels in Kathmandu, cherishing a short enjoyable trek experience.

This is an enjoyable trek that everyone should participate in at least once in their lives. This trek provides opportunities to explore the Langtang region, step on famous viewpoints, and experience the local lifestyle.

This package covers travel by public bus, but, for convenience, you can book a jeep for an extra cost.

To maintain health at high altitudes, consume plenty of fluids, such as ginger tea, garlic soup, and hot lemon. We discourage meat items due to hygiene concerns. Similarly, you should avoid dairy products, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks. Personal bills for beverages like tea, coffee, and alcoholic drinks are not included in the package.

Luggage

The luggage weight limit is 9 kg per trekker. We assign one porter for every two trekkers, with a combined weight limit of 18 kg per porter. Please partner up with a fellow trekker and pack your things in a duffle bag of over sixty liters. You can store excess luggage at your hotel or our office for free.

Facilities and Essentials

Water

Bottled mineral water is also available at en-route shops. However, we recommend you bring a water bottle and purchase boiled/filtered water. For extra safety, use water purification pills before drinking. We advise against drinking water from rivers, taps, or wells, as water may not be safe for consumption.

Communication

Mobile phone communication is possible. You can purchase a local SIM card in Kathmandu, though it may not work reliably at higher elevations. Our trek leaders maintain regular communication with our head office via mobile to ensure everything is proceeding smoothly. Further, we are always ready to tackle any emergencies.

Travel Essentials

Visa

All foreign nationals, except Indian citizens, require a visa to enter Nepal. Most foreigners can get an on-arrival visa at Tribhuvan International Airport. For an on-arrival visa, you will need a passport with at least six months of validity, a passport-size photo, and a USD 50 fee for a 30-day visa. Nationals from certain countries may not qualify for a visa on arrival and should contact their local Nepalese embassy. For more details, visit https://www.immigration.gov.np/en.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory for this trek and must include medical coverage and emergency helicopter rescue at altitudes up to 4,770 meters. In emergencies, we will coordinate with your insurer for swift rescue and medical treatment. Please share your insurance details with us after booking the trek. Please call your insurer to confirm your policy covers helicopter evacuation.

Currency Exchange

Nepali Rupee (NPR) is the legal currency. 1 USD = ~ 133 NPR (Nepalese Rupees). Use legitimate money exchanges in Kathmandu, which display current rates. ATMs are available but charge fees and have limits. Avoid old or damaged foreign currency notes, as banks/money exchanges may not accept these notes. Avoid carrying old or torn foreign currency notes, as banks and money exchanges may not accept them.

Extra Expenses

Additional expenses may include meals and accommodations in Kathmandu, visa fees, travel insurance, snacks, extra meal courses, beverages, souvenirs, tips for guides and porters, etc. You will need around USD 15 per trek day to cover these expenses.

Trek Season and Weather Conditions

The best seasons for trekking in Langtang Valley are spring (March-May) and autumn (September–November), when weather conditions are most favorable, with clear skies and stunning mountain views. Summer (June-August) offers pleasant trekking conditions before the monsoon rains, while winter (December–February) can be cold with snowfall but offers fewer crowds and clear days. The monsoon season coincides with summer, which brings rain, making trails slippery but rewarding with lush landscapes and rainbows.

Typical Day

A typical trekking day begins with breakfast at the lodge around 7–8 am. You will hike for 3–4 hours, followed by a lunch break along the trail around mid-day. The afternoon walk is generally shorter, lasting 2–3 hours, before reaching the overnight lodge. After reaching the lodge, you are free to explore the nearby areas. Dinner is around 6–7 pm, followed by a briefing about the next day’s plan from your trek guide. After this briefing, you can spend your time playing games, socializing, or watching videos before going to bed.

Trek Reviews

We decided to book the Langtang trek through Discovery World Trekking. Right from the start, we were impressed by Paul's responsiveness and his ability to promptly address any queries we had. Due to the ongoing national election, there were some last-minute schedule changes, but Paul efficiently managed everything, ensuring that our itinerary remained unaffected.

Our guides, Karan and Gakul, were absolutely fantastic. As a first-timer on a multi-day trek, I found the initial two days quite challenging. However, Karan and Gakul displayed incredible patience, constantly keeping my spirits high with their humor and positivity. Karan's extensive experience in guiding trekking groups all across Nepal was evident, and Gakul's talent in preparing delicious potato rosti was a pleasant surprise.

All in all, we are extremely satisfied with our decision to go with this company. If we ever return to Nepal for another trek, we won't hesitate to choose them again. We wholeheartedly recommend booking with Discovery World Trekking for their efficiency, professionalism, and the wonderful personalities of their team. All the best to Discovery World Trekking!

We had an absolutely delightful experience during the Langtang trek! Our guide, Nabin, was incredibly attentive, catering to all our needs and enriching our journey with valuable insights. Throughout the trek, he ensured we were in good spirits and maintained a steady and enjoyable pace.

usus

Interacting with the local Nepalese families, savoring their homegrown cuisine, and immersing ourselves in their culture was a truly amazing experience. The picturesque Langtang trek, with its blooming rhododendron trees, riverside walks, and the challenging ascent to Tserko Ri, was both challenging and immensely rewarding! We wholeheartedly recommend this trek to everyone and strongly suggest requesting Nabin as your guide for an unforgettable and enjoyable time!

Discovery World Trekking

Never in my life have I had an impactful opportunity like the one the Langtang Trek has given me. Hence, I will be forever grateful to Paul Gurung and Discovery World Trekking for creating a lifetime memorable experience. This trek was my dream come true. I always wanted to go on a trip like this one.

Langtang is beautiful. I wanted to go to Everest but I couldn't this time. But I get to experience a new place that I have never heard before. My guides helped me a lot when I was having pain in my leg. He gave me medicine and it reduced my pain. Thank you to him that I was able to complete my trip. I highly recommend this trek and next time I will come back to do EBC with DWT.

Spending my time in Langtang Valley in the company of Discovery World Trekking boss Paul Gurung turned out to be a memorable event of my life. Indeed, the guidance and skills of Paul gave us a seamless and all-embracing trip that could enable us to experience the real beauty of the Himalayas.

The amazing guides, strong porters, and flawless service of the Discovery World Trekking have made this trek unforgettable. In my honest opinion, this trip and the leadership of Paul Gurung can be recommended to those looking for a genuine Himalayan experience.

Yet another incredible trek with Discovery! Paul and the entire Discovery team put together a meticulously planned itinerary tailored to our preferences. They thoroughly discussed every aspect with us before we embarked on our trek. The best part was that everything, including food, accommodation, transportation, trekking permits, and more, was taken care of along the way. The Discovery team's accommodating nature made the entire experience hassle-free, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the trek and enjoy every moment.

We were fortunate to visit Langtang during a festival, and the villages warmly welcomed us into their celebrations. We had the opportunity to partake in traditional Nepalese dancing. Staying in home stays throughout the journey was a highlight, as it gave us a taste of authentic village life in Nepal and allowed us to meet so many wonderful people. The locals' extraordinary generosity and efforts to make us feel like family made the experience truly special.

The scenic beauty along the trek was breathtaking, blessed with perfect weather and magnificent views of the Langtang. The ever-changing landscapes we passed through each day kept the excitement alive. We're already counting down the days to return for another unforgettable trek with Discovery next year!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Discovery World Trekking team for their exceptional planning of the trek, providing us with all the necessary equipment, tools, and medical assistance.

I extend my thanks to Mr. Paul Gurung and his team for organizing an extraordinary trip. I decided to go for the Langtang trek, known for its relatively low traffic, but upon reaching there, I found not only a serene trail but also a peaceful escape from the chaos of the world. Thanks to DWT, all the lodges where we stayed were well-informed in advance, and everything was arranged perfectly. The beauty of nature along the Langtang trail left me completely mesmerized.

I highly recommend Discovery World Trekking for all types of treks and expeditions in Nepal, and I am eagerly looking forward to returning and embarking on another adventure with DWT.

I recently completed the Langtang trek with Discovery World Trekking, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Paul, the owner, is exceptionally well-organized, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. From permits to accommodations, jackets, and sleeping bags, he had everything covered. I embarked on this trek with two friends, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our guide was truly outstanding. He displayed remarkable kindness and helpfulness throughout the journey, always prioritizing our safety and comfort. His presence made me feel at ease the entire time. The porters were also amazing, kind, and made the trek even more enjoyable with their fun company.

I had such a fantastic time that I am already looking forward to returning to Nepal to do the Everest Base Camp trek with Discovery World Trekking. They provided such a wonderful experience, and I have complete trust in their services.

Paul, the CEO of Discovery World Trekking, is incredibly amiable and supportive. It's my first trekking trip to Nepal, and I am delighted that we engaged them as our guide and porter service. Their guide was truly exceptional. Throughout the journey, he prioritized our well-being, especially our safety, and made sure we were well taken care of. Besides providing excellent service, he was also friendly and willingly shared information and knowledge whenever we asked.

In addition to the guide, the porters from Discovery World Trekking were remarkable too. They went above and beyond their duties to provide outstanding service. This being my first trekking experience, I can confidently say it won't be my last. I am already planning another trek, and without a doubt, I will return to Discovery World Trekking for their services. My team and I highly recommend them based on the exceptional experience we had.
