The Langtang Valley, also known as the "valley of glaciers", provides a wealth of wildlife, cultural experiences, and historical significance. Towering at an elevation of 5,000m above sea level, adventurers can take in the stunning views of pine forests, rushing mountain streams, jagged rocks, and soaring mountains. During your trek, you will gain insight into Tibetan ancestry and their lifestyles, including agriculture and trade.

After the devastating earthquake of 2015, much of the Langtang Valley was destroyed; however, the locals are making a comeback, welcoming you with warm and friendly smiles. As you traverse through the region, you will be able to take in the vibrant clothing of the people, as well as the abundant rhododendron forests, birds, and butterflies. With the unpredictable weather of the Himalayas, especially in the higher altitudes, it is important to prepare and bring all necessary equipment for a safe and enjoyable trek.

Highlights of Langtang Valley Trek are:

- Explore Langtang Valley, also known as the "Valley of Glaciers."

- Observe Fascinating Mountain views

- Unspoiled Nature with pine forests, mountain streams and wild animals

- The Unique landscape for agriculture and farming

- Taste local cuisine with an amazing view of the Himalayas

- Experience Nepali - Tibetan community livelihood

- Spectacular Mountain Monasteries

Note: You have the option to join one of our fixed date departures or to have a private tour tailored to dates that suit you. Upgrading the accommodation facilities is possible at your request.
