Langtang region

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.

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.
