While the ridges of Helambu and the delights of the Langtang Valley are the closest trekking areas to Kathmandu, they are both frequently overlooked by the crowds that flock to the busier Everest and Annapurna regions. Passing through villages not despoiled by the influences of tourism makes for a more authentic Nepal trekking experience. The walking is quite challenging with regular ascents and descents, although walking days usually are between 5-6 hours each day. This is a great route for a quieter trekking experience and a chance to see a different side to Nepal.

	Accommodation	All nights in comfortable hotels or in traditional trekking lodges (teahouses). Hotels are 3* equivalent: simple, comfortable and friendly. Teahouses are traditional Himalayan lodges, they are usually independent and family-run. They are basic but provide welcome shelter, a space to relax with your fellow trekkers, and plenty of delicious, hot food to fuel your next day on the trail.
	Guided excursions	All guides are fully qualified expert mountaineering guides. Max 8 people with guest to guide ratio 1:4 for safety and risk management. Also included: porterage on trek, permits and national park fees.
	All meals	All meals are included while in teahouses. What’s “on the menu” can depend upon factors like, what is available locally, how remote the teahouse is and even how busy the teahouse is. With limited cooking facilities, a busy teahouse may provide a set menu in order to be able to feed everyone adequately. Please note teahouses may not be able to provide dietary requirements beyond vegetarian options. While meals are included, refreshments and snacks aren't, so budget accordingly. Breakfast: A typical breakfast will consist of porridge, pancakes, toast, muesli and other cereals, eggs (various ways), tibetan style bread, tsampa etc. Tea and coffee. Lunch: Some days this will be at a teahouse, other times it will be a picnic such as Dal Bhat lentil curry, fried noodles, noodle soup, rice, Tibetan dumplings, chapatis with a curry sauce, sandwiches. Dinner: First Course — Vegetable or noodle soup. Main Course — Dal Bhat, noodles dishes, rice-based dishes, momo’s, chapati, spring rolls, stews, spaghetti, pizza, dhido, potato and buckwheat pancakes, chips.

Alpine Ramble Treks has developed our 10-day Langtang Valley Trek itinerary to showcase the very best of this region, including the high-altitude peaks of the Langtang Himal range. This package will also introduce you to the wild landscapes of Langtang National Park, where you may be able to spot elusive wildlife like the musk deer, Himalayan tahr, or red panda moving amongst the dense woodland foliage. Especially keen-eyed hikers may even discover evidence of the exceptionally rare snow leopard as we move from the tropical lowlands to the alpine heights of the Langtang Valley.

The Langtang Valley Trek is still something of an undiscovered gem when compared with its more popular counterparts. This means that the enchanting scenery, picturesque communities, and winding trails decorated with Buddhist prayer flags and Chortens won’t be crowded with other travellers even during the peak trekking season. This lends a decidedly intrepid vibe to the Langtang Valley Trek, making it the perfect choice for travelers who want to escape the crowds and engage with the Himalayan wilderness on their own terms.

	Accommodation	All accommodations in the best available trekking lodge or Tea House during the trek
	Guided excursions	A professional, experienced, and friendly Alpine Ramble’s government-licensed holder guide, covering meals, flight, insurance, accommodations, and equipment for the guide and porter. Plus a strong local helper to carry your luggage (1 sherpa helper for 2 trekkers with limited weights of 10kg each)
	Ground transfers	All hotel/airport transfers and ground connections
	All meals	Full-board meals (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, the main course) during the trek, plus snacks (crackers) and seasonal available fresh fruits during the trek.
	Equipment	All required trekking equipment such as sleeping bag, down jacket, and duffle bag
	Support	Emergency rescue operation assistance in arranging in case of complex health conditions in the mountain
