    GEARS AND EQUIPMENT


    The main emphasis while trekking is on keeping warm and dry while still being lightweight. You should bring a rucksack or backpack for the gear required during the day. Your pack should contain items such as warm clothes, a jacket, a camera, water bottles, a personal first aid kit, and snacks. The weight limit is 5kg. A porter will carry the rest of your personal equipment packed in a duffel or kit bag. The weight limit for your duffel bag is 15 kg however it is different in the case of peak climbing and expedition.

    A Note on Packing 

    For your international flights, we recommend that you pack all your equipment in your two duffle bags or suitcase. Do not simply pack your backpack (since the straps can be damaged by the baggage handling machines). It is important to lock these bags for their trip. Depending on the airport, you may be able to put your travel locks on after TSA has searched the bags. If not, Lock the bags with Zip Ties. If the TSA cuts off the zip-tie to search your bag, they will replace it. You will still need the travel locks to lock your bags in the hotel and during the trek. Generally, you will take one duffel on the trek , and leave one in the hotel in Kathmandu with your belongings for your time in the city. Your trek in duffel will only be accessible in the evenings (with items such as changes of clothing, sleeping bag), and your day pack will hold vitals such as water, layering, blister kit, and camera.

      How difficult is the Langtang Valley trek?

      This one is the most frequently asked question about the Langtang trek. so here I came with the answer. Langtang Valley Trek is an easy to moderate level of trek. even the beginner's trekker can complete this trek successfully, I mean you don’t need any other trekking experience. You should be physically and mentally fit. For the seven days Langtang Trek, on average you should walk around 5-6 hours a day. Walking at a high altitude can be quite tough as you have to wake up early to avoid cold wind. But if you have strong wills and dedication you can easily complete the Langtang Valley Trek without much difficulty

      When is the best time to trek Langtang Valley Trek?

      Trekking throughout the year is possible for Langtang Valley Trek but the spring and autumn season is considered the best among four-season due to the stable warm temperature, clear weather, mindblowing mountain views with clear skies, and this season is considered a safe season to explore as well. Being the best season, many trekkers choose this time of the year to explore so if you want peaceful travel, to avoid the crowd you can trek during winter (January to February) if the cold doesn’t bother you a lot, and during the summer season, these time in the years you will not see many peoples and can get comfortable accommodation with good discount in meals too.
