The Langtang Valley lies north of Kathmandu Valley and is the border to Tibet. Langtang Trek follows the valley of Bhote Koshi and is a rеlаtіvеlу short and easy trek. Trekking to Langtang offers the opportunity to explore the Tamang villages, lush forests, expansive pastures, and ancient monasteries. It has long been a favorite trek due to its extensive views, beautiful alpine meadows, and easy accessibility from Kathmandu.

The Tamang culture and diverse flora and fauna of the Langtang Trek extend beyond the Himalayan range. The trek to Langtang begins from Dhunche or Syabru Bensi and allows you to explore above all. The Langtang region was declared a national park in 1971 to protect wildlife and vegetation.

There is a wide variety of vegetation in the Langtang National Park. Langtang Valley Trek allows you to be adventurous and challenging, but you should know these seven things before you go.

The trail of Langtang Valley goes along the Langtang River that passes through the small settlements of Bamboo, Lama Hotel, and Langtang village. Then, further, walk towards Kyanjing Gompa. Meanwhile, you may visit the Kyanjing Gomba, which is fascinating. Besides that, a day hike to Kyanjing Ri or Tsergo Ri, where the 360-degree view of the mountains is genuinely spectacular. You will have a memorable experience and retrace the same trail to Syabru Bensi, or you can extend the Trek to Gosainkunda Lake and the Helambu region. The warm hospitality of local people, beautiful landscapes, and alpine pastures make for an extraordinary experience on the Langtang Valley trek.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
