Langtang Valley Trek – 10 Days

10 Days

Trip Overview

Langtang Valley trek is one of those striking teahouse outdoors in the wild with flowing meadows so richly green. We view Himalayan peaks reaching the clouds, and misty valleys hide for discovery. This is Langtang as the curtains rise…
Langtang valley trek has so much of cultural wealth. We see this as we hike into the hearts of Sherpa and Yolmo villages. Some say holidays come a cropper, but making right choices is what delivers value. We want to make a choice that we can talk about for years. Most importantly, Langtang Valley trek presents the ideal vacation for individuals and more so, the family. Langtang valley trek 10 days will also make a great honeymoon trip. Moreover, there’s so much of nature and just a half day’s drive from your hotel in Kathmandu. However, despite its gorgeous beauty and openness, this region still remains aloof. You won’t find the hordes that trek the trails of Annapurna and the Everest region.

We drive out of our hotel to Syabru Bensi from where it all starts. We soon reach the higher elevations of the valley, hiking at a gentle pace to enjoy the surroundings. The alpine landscapes are awesome! The warm friendly ethnic folks we meet on the way smile a trail into our hearts. Langtang valley trek would be ideal for those on budget time. The animals may not be around to say ‘hello’ to you in typical forest settings. But here the animals are not so afraid of humans, only a bit shy. Above all, if you love birds you will find yourself enjoying a happy welcome with their merry chirps. They stick with you throughout the course of your trek. Langtang valley trek concludes on our way down from Lama Hotel as we hike down from the village of Syabru Besi. We are also likely to meet hindu pilgrims on their way up or down to the Gosainkunda lake. We slowly drop lower into the lovely Helambu region. Langtang valley trek in April is a stunning wonder to watch the rhododendrons in full bloom. This blends well into the jaw dropping landscapes. A warm comfortable bed welcomes us at our hotel. Our trek can start from Syabru besi or Dhunche. Both are bustling towns that open up Langtang to trekkers from all over the planet.

Trip Highlights:

Himalayan peaks touch swirling misty clouds, sacred lakes and deep hidden valleys – just a day's cruise from ancient Kathmandu
A culturally rich trek into the home of the Tamang and the Yolmo Sherpa people
Traditional tea houses and a warm welcome on the trail
3* hotels in Kathmandu at the start and end of the trek to pamper weary bodies, you have a choice of either
