Overview

Langtang Valley with snow capped mountains

Langtang Valley Trek is one of Nepal's most rewarding and short trekking destination, nestled to the north of Kathmandu, beyond the bustling city and into the heart of the Himalayas. Unlike the more famous trekking routes of Nepal, Langtang Trek offers a serene and pristine environment, untouched by the frenetic pace of modern life.

Following the 2015 earthquake, Langtang valley has been rebuilt. Today trekkers can once again enjoy well established trails, warm teahouses and hospitality of the local communities in Langtang National Park. 

For those seeking adventure, Langtang Valley offers a trekking experience that varies from short day hikes to more extensive week-long journeys. The trails wind through verdant forests, across crystal-clear mountain streams, and past traditional villages where the rhythm of life has remained unchanged for generations. Every step brings you closer to the towering Himalayan giants that dominate the horizon, their icy summits glistening in the sunlight.

Established in 1976, Langtang National Park was Nepal's first Himalayan national park, created to protect this pristine ecosystem and its inhabitants. The park's conservation efforts ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the untouched beauty of Langtang Valley.

Langtang Trek

Karma was the ultimate guide, with superb organization and preparation as well as steady, successful leadership for our group of 9 family and friends to summit Tserko Ri (5000m) in the Langtang Valley. He is a wise, knowledgeable, formidable mountaineer who is also witty and fun! His assistant Tsering is also extremely helpful and kind. The entire experience could not have been better. Highly highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Langtang Valley Trek and Kathmandu Tour

Our Langtang Valley Trek could not have been better! Karma was a superb guide, matching his pace to ours and providing a 'hand' whenever necessary. He put together a great team to accompany us on our journey. The tea houses where we stayed were warm and comfortable and the families who ran them welcoming. The route Karma suggested was stunningly beautiful. Higher Path Treks also arranged an excellent Kathmandu city tour for us with a local expert. From my first email to Karma at Higher Path Treks, he was responsive and helpful. An extra bonus of our trip was meeting his family! I would entrust Higher Treks with any future plans to visit Nepal.
