Trip Overview
Langtang Trek is one of the well-known hiking trips in Nepal. Langtang is also the nearest hiking route from Kathmandu, Nepal for the closeup views of amazing Himalayas, to experience alpine Buddhist lifestyle and culture, and also to explore Himalayan flora and fauna.
Langtang Trek is also popular among Asian people from Malaysia, Hongkong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, etc due to easy accessibility, short and less adventurous than other trekking in Nepal to see the amazing vista of Himalayas.
Langtang valley is like heaven surrounds by the majestic Himalayan peaks. The trek to Langtang provides the outstanding Himalayan views of Mount Langtang Lirung (7246 meters), Dorje Lakpa (6966 meters), Gang Cheenpo (6388 meters) and Ganesh Himal (7429 meters).

The next attraction of this trek is Himalayan glaciers. By such a short trek, you can explore Himalayan glaciers from the lower altitude place.
About the origin of the name ‘Langtang’, locals tell an interesting legend. According to the legend, in ancient times, one of the Buddhist monks called Lama lost his yak. When in search of yak he discovered this beautiful valley. In the Tibetan language, the word ‘Lang’ means ‘yak’ and ‘tang’ means ‘to follow’. As this valley found when the following yak, later this place called Langtang. In the upper part of this valley, we find lots of yaks. They are grazing in open meadow.
Syabru Besi is the gateway to Langtang valley trekking. From Syaphrubeshi the trail swings north into the Langtang valley crossing the river several times along with oak and rhododendron forests. Upon reaching Langtang valley firstly, you visit Langtang village. Afterward, the trail moves towards Kyanjin Gompa crossing through the glacial moraine.
Kyanjin Gompa is the last place of this trekking. From Kyanjin Gompa, you hike up to Kyanjin Ri or Tsergo Ri (4984m), the highest elevation of this trip. It offers spectacular views of the Himalayan panorama with glaciers. Then, you retrace your footsteps to Syabrubesi. From Syabrubesi you drive back to Kathmandu.
