Elevation and distance

You will hike a total of 63 kilometers round trip, beginning and ending in Syabrubesi Village on this short Langtang Valley Trek journey itinerary of 10 days. On the third day, your trekking would begin with a walk towards Lama Hotel from Syabrubesi. You have to walk a total of 29 kilometers from Kyanjin Gompa to reach the beautiful Langtang Village.

From Kyanjin Gompa, you will trek about five kilometers to Kyanjin Ri on a round trip. On this 10-day schedulefor the Langtang Valley Trek, you only need to walk for six days continuously. The highest destination point on this journey will be Kyanjin Ri at an elevation of 4773 meters.

Therefore, on the rest of the hiking days, you will trek below 4000 meters above sea level. You will be at 3430 meters when you travel to Langtang village. In the same way, you will be at 3870 meters above sea level when you travel to Kyanjin Gompa from the Langtang Village. Thus, it is less likely to suffer from altitude sickness when you are at this level; however, necessary precautions should be taken while trekking.

Altitude sickness and difficulty

The Short Langtang Trek is one of the easy hiking journeys in the mountains. However, one should not ignore the fact that it still includes some steep and rocky sections, which can be difficult for trekkers, especially those who don’t have any experience and training. You would have to trek for a standard of 5 hours regularly in the remote area of Langtang Valley.

Similarly, you will be trekking at low altitudes with a gradual elevation gain, which makes the trek even easier compared to classical treks like Everest and Annapurna trekking excursions. Additionally, we have also designed our itinerary with an acclimatization day in Kyanjin Gompa, which will help you to adapt to the higher altitude environments.

Although with a lot of safety and precautions, it’s still unpredictable if anyone would suffer from altitude sickness or not regardless of gender, age, and fitness. You can also buy Diamox in Kathmandu city, which helps in curing common altitude sickness. However, our team will be there for you in any circumstances to help you and complete the journey successfully.

Maximum and minimum walk per day

The Langtang Valley Trek 10 days itinerary journey is a moderate-level hiking trip in which hikers have to trek for around an average of five hours daily. The maximum trek per day will be on days 4 and 6, respectively, when you hike from Lama Hotel to Langtang Village and Kyanjin Gompa to Kyanjin Ri in a round trip.

In the same way, your minimum hike per day will be on day 5 when you trek from Langtang Village to Kyanjin Gompa, passing through lush woodlands and rivers. However, you should take proper rest and drink plenty of water while hiking to avoid any kind of health problems to ensure a safe journey.

Accommodation, Food and Drink

Langtang Valley Trek offers visitors several lodges and mountain teahouses for comfortable stays. You are staying for two nights in the 3-star category hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu, which includes breakfast and all comfort facilities. As for the trekking, you get the basic accommodations with twin-sharing beds, hygienic dining areas, attached bathrooms, and so on.

Hot showers could or could not be convenient in some teahouses. However, you have to pay extra cash to use that service in higher altitudes. Apart from this, most teahouses serve dal bhat and lentils as a very healthy staple meal and provide high calories needed for trekking. But there is also a wide range of food options, like Momo, noodles, pizza, pasta, bread, and many more, which you can choose from.

You will be getting tea or coffee with your morning meal in the dawn. Furthermore, you can also find drinks like beverages, cold drinks, and local drinks in the lodges. But their costs aren’t included in the Langtang Valley trek package. Finally, we will also provide you with a farewell dinner on the ninth day to celebrate the successful hiking journey in the Langtang region.

Alternative routes
