Days
Langtang Valley Trek is a short and relatively easy trek in Langtang Valley with stunning panoramas of two major Himalayan Ranges, Langtang and Ganesh. Langtang Valley Trek is in the valley of this very famous and beautiful range around Langtang Himal Range in the central part of the country. Diverse flora and fauna can also be observed with equally diverse culture of different ethnic groups on this trek. Langtang Valley Trek also stands out as one of the popular treks in the country, especially due to hospitality shown in the region.This is the trekking holidays travelers how have short and limited time fully able to enjoy the unique culture and great Himalayan peaks.
It is a relatively easy and short trek with Tsergo Ri (a viewpoint at 5033 meters) being the major attraction of the trek. Tsergo Ri offers views of Langtang Lirung (7227 meters), Dorje Lhakpa (6966 meters), Yala Peak (5520 meters), Shishapangma and many other smaller peaks. Equally breathtaking views of Ganesh Himal Range can be enjoyed at the beginning of Langtang Valley Trek.
Langtang Valley Trek starts and passes through villages with terraced fields of paddy, corns, millet etc (depending upon the season). Slowly it starts to go through the Rhododendron jungles and then on to meadows and pastures with yaks, and at last to the alpine vegetation near Langtang. The change in culture and religion is also on show as the landscape changes, with increasing number of monasteries and Mane walls as the trek goes higher. At Kyanjin Gomba (the final village at the end of village), one can really enjoy the beauty of Langtang Valley Trek.
Because of easy accessibility, this trek can be done any time in the year but March and April are the best months, as the flowers bloom at this time around the year and jungles full of Rhododendron flowers, in particular is something one shouldn’t miss. Although rare to spot, wildlife including migratory birds, deer monkeys, Himalayan Thars, Himalayan Red Panda can be found in the Langtang valley.
