Langtang Valley Trek | Langtang Trekking Itinerary

Langtang Valley Trekking

$885

A trek up into the Langtang Valley has to be one of the most rewarding of the short treks available anywhere in Nepal. Langtang valley trek starts with an overland journey to Dunche, the main trading post of the area. The bus or jeep trip to Syabrubesi takes most of the first day so trekking usually starts there on the second morning. Syabrubesi is located at the end of the road from Kathmandu at the point where the Langtang Khola meets the Bhote Koshi. Though there are now many commercial lodges in Langtang village, in another section you can observe the distinct lifestyle of the original inhabitants in Langtang village that might be interesting for you I think. From Dhunche we spend four days hiking up through this beautiful alpine valley to Kyangjin where we rest for a day for some exploration of the high mountains and glacial systems. Here you can see the Tibetans and Tamangs, who share a similar religion, language and clothing style. Here, the mountains rise soaring towards the sky. We track back for three days before taking a different route back to Dunche and onwards to Kathmandu. This trek is ideal for people not wishing to trek over the Laurebina pass 4610 meters.
