Langtang Valley Trek – 8 Days
Package Overview
The Langtang Valley Trek is one of the closest and most rewarding Himalayan treks from Kathmandu, offering stunning mountain scenery, glacier valleys, and deep cultural immersion in a relatively short time. Often called the “Valley of Glaciers,” Langtang lies north of Kathmandu near the Tibetan border.
Despite its accessibility, the region remains less crowded than Everest and Annapurna, making it ideal for trekkers seeking a quieter and more authentic mountain experience. This trek takes you through rhododendron and bamboo forests, past waterfalls and alpine meadows, and into traditional Tamang villages before reaching Kyanjin Gompa, the spiritual and scenic heart of the valley.
Why Choose Langtang Valley Trek?
Langtang is perfect for trekkers who want big mountain views without long travel days or flights. You can reach the trailhead by road in one day, making it one of the most time-efficient Himalayan treks in Nepal.
