It is the most frequented marketplace in the area and historically significant as a salt trade route between Nepal and Tibet. Located just 125 kilometers from Kathmandu, the capital city, it can be reached by road in approximately 5 to 6 hours, although travel times may vary due to inadequate infrastructure. There are three options for traveling between Kathmandu and Syabrubesi: local buses, shared jeeps, and private jeeps, as well as helicopter services. This package includes complimentary round-trip transportation via bus or shared jeep. While private jeeps offer a more comfortable and faster journey, they incur an additional charge of USD 120 each way, accommodating up to six passengers.

Trek inside the Langtang from Syabrubesi

Trek inside the Langtang National is an opportunity to witness, experience, and discover the ranges of the flora fauna, and vegetation. Another hand, you can enjoy the alluring and breathtaking mountain views of the Ganesh Himal and Langtang Ranges including the Langtang Lirung (7234m) which is the highest peak in the region ranging to the 99th highest mountain in the world. Moreover, the richness of the Indigenous Tamang community culture and way of life is first hand. The trek offers a blend of cultural and mythical profound of the Tamang and Tibetan communities.

The short Langtang Trek is an ideal trekking route for those who want to escape the crowd and attempt a trek in Nepal for the first time, all ages and experience level trekkers from families with kids to seasoned trekkers.

Lama Hotel

Lama Hotel is a popular destination for the Langtang Valley Trek, where you will stay on your second night. The term "Lama" refers to a teacher of Dharma in Buddhist culture. Traditionally, the middle son in a family goes to the gompa to learn Buddhist practices and eventually becomes a lama. This tradition is particularly common among the Tamang and Gurung communities in Nepal. The Lama Hotel provides rustic accommodations that allow guests to experience authentic Tamang and Tibetan culture; however, the lodging is quite basic. Lama Hotel serves as a junction for the Tamang Heritage Trail and Langtang Valley Trek, connecting with the Gosaikunda Lake Trek from Thulo Syabru village. It is situated just 11.5 km from the starting point of the Langtang Trek, Syabrubesi, and 21.6 km from Kyanjing Gompa, the trek's ultimate destination. Nestled amid pine forests by the Langtang Khola River, the Lama Hotel offers a very peaceful stay.

Langtang Valley 

Langtang Valley is the most iconic and wonderful grassland where you will see yaks and blue sheep grazing. It offers a stunning landscape just below Mt.Langtang Lirung and other surrounding peaks just above the alpine and rhododendron forests. Unfortunately, the Langtang Valley was washed by an avalanche during the devastating earthquake that happened in 2015, on April 25 when many trekkers and locals were killed. However, it has slowly recovered from the tragedy and built many decent hotels in the valley where you get a hot shower attached bath inside your room. Langtang Valley is the most beautiful narrow valley nested by the towering peaks above the jungle. You can stay at the lodge and discover the warm hospitality and their cultural heritage and visit the monasteries and Chorten.

Kyanjin Gompa and Yak Cheese Factory 

Kyanjin Gompa is an ancient Tibetan monastery located in the glacier town of Kyanjin (3870m), surrounded by the majestic Langtang Lirung and other snow-capped peaks. This village marks the endpoint of the Langtang Valley Trek, serving as a starting point for hikes to Kyanjing Ri (4200m), Tserkuri (5000m), Yala Peak (5600m), and various other summits. Additionally, Kyanjin is home to a yak cheese factory, which operates only during the rainy season; outside of this period, the factory remains closed due to insufficient milk supply for cheese production.

Kyanjin Ri (4300m) Hike for 3/4 hours 

Kyanjin Ri is the summit of the Kyanjin Valley, reaching an elevation of 4,300 meters. For those seeking a higher challenge, Kyanjin Ri Second is located at 4,700 meters above sea level. The hike presents significant challenges due to the rugged nature of the trail during the ascent. However, the breathtaking views make the effort worthwhile, offering stunning close-up vistas of Langtang Lirung (7,234 meters), Yala Peak, Ganjala Pass, Dorje Lakpa, and Sisapangma (8,027 meters). Additionally, the scenery includes picturesque lakes, glaciers, and the beautiful Kyanjin Valley. The round trip from Kyanjin typically takes around 3 to 4 hours. Kyanjin Ri is recognized as the most sought-after hiking destination in the Langtang Trek region of Nepal.

Langtang Trek Permits and its Cost

Langtang Trek necessitates two essential permits. As the trail traverses the Langtang National Park, both a National Park permit and a TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) card are mandatory for the Langtang Valley trek. The National Park permit can be acquired in Dhunche, the administrative center of the Rasuwa district in Nepal. The fee is USD 30 per trekker, and a copy of the passport is required. The TIMS card can be purchased from travel agencies such as Himalayan Trekking Path Pvt. Ltd. or at the Nepal Tourist Board office located in Bhirkutimandap, Kathmandu, which also requires a passport and costs USD 20 per individual.

The best time for the Langtang Trek

When considering the best season for the Langtang trek, Autumn and Spring are highly recommended due to their favorable conditions, including pleasant temperatures, clear skies, and minimal precipitation, even at higher elevations. Conversely, the rainy season is less ideal because heavy rainfall can make trails wet and slippery, and landslides may occur. While winter is not the prime season, it still offers opportunities for trekking, showcasing stunning snow-capped landscapes. Although temperatures can drop, with proper preparation, winter trekking in Langtang can be enjoyable.

  • Autumn Season (September to November): This period is considered the best time for the Langtang Trek. During Autumn, trekkers can enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys, with temperatures ranging from cool to warm. As it follows the rainy season, the landscape is lush and vibrant, featuring fresh air and beautiful waterfalls.
  • Spring Season (March to May): Following Autumn, Spring is the second-best time for the Langtang Trek. The weather is stable, with pleasant temperatures and stunning views of blooming flowers set against majestic mountain backdrops. Lower elevations can be hot and dry, while higher altitudes remain cool, making it an ideal time for those wishing to experience the beauty of nature in bloom, free from concerns about rain or snow.
  • Winter Season (December to February): Although not the prime trekking season, winter can still be a viable option for the Langtang Trek. Its unique location and elevation make it a popular winter destination in Nepal. While cold nights and occasional snowfall can occur, the views along the trail are often spectacular. Daytime temperatures typically range from 5 to 25 degrees Celsius, and the weather is generally clear, providing excellent visibility of the surroundings. However, trekkers should be aware that water sources may occasionally freeze
  • Rainy Season (June to August): The rainy season, spanning from June to August, is generally not advisable for trekking in the Langtang region. However, trekking in August can be feasible as it marks the end of the rainy period. During this season, heavy rainfall often leads to landslides and creates wet, slippery trails. If you intend to trek during this time, it is essential to be well-prepared for the rain and the challenging trail conditions.
