Trekking
The Langtang Valley trek is a trek with real heart. The Langtang Valley is one of the most beautiful places in Nepal and was once the darling of trekkers seeking stunning landscapes and authentic culture along with heartwarming hospitality in delightful homestay guest houses all within easy reach of Kathmandu. Langtang Valley is the nearest Himalayan Region from Kathmandu valley, few hours drive from Kathmandu will take you to the beautiful Langtang region. Despite being very close to Kathmandu, the Langtang Region is as wild as any Tibetan highlands with idyllic rural landscape.
The Langtang Valley has long been a favorite trek due to its expansive views, interesting Tamang culture, relatively gentle pace and accessibility from Kathmandu. The 2015 earthquake and subsequent landslide had an enormous effect on the region, but aid and reconstruction have recently reopened this valley to trekking again.Not only is it still a beautiful trek, your visit will also provide vital support for local livelihoods.

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.

Langtang Valley Trek is among the easy to moderate-level treks in Nepal. For the Langtang Valley Trek, you do not need any experience and also don’t need mountain climbing skills. Throughout the trek, you must walk at least 60-70 kilometers while covering at least 7 hours daily. Langtang Valley trek also takes you over 3000m, which causes a significant risk of altitude sickness. However, if you are better prepared and plan for the trek, you can quickly complete it.

The best time to trek in the Langang Valley depends on the season you are visiting. In Nepal, two seasons are considered peak seasons: spring and autumn. Similarly, two seasons that are considered off-season are Winter and Monsoon season. As the name suggests, peak season is ideal for trekking, whereas off-season treks are not ideal, especially for beginners.
