Langtang Valley Trek Difficulty

This is a trip for those who enjoy a moderate hike. The courses ascend gradually and help the trekkers adjust to the altitude quickly. Furthermore, our expert guides and leaders will always be there to accompany you and ensure you feel supported as you hike. The ten-day expedition will take you to the highest point of our trek in Chorkari Ri at 5050 meters. Chorkari Ri is an excellent point to see the Langtang range and its endearing mountains really close.

Despite the Langtang Valley being a moderate hike, we suggest you dedicate some time to personal fitness and exercise. You will easily find yourself walking for about 4-5 hours daily and at high elevations. So to ensure you have the best experience on this trek, we think getting pre-trained for at least a month before your actual trek is best!

Best time for the Trek

The weather is one of the most important factors when planning for the Langtang Valley Trek. The best time to visit the area is in the spring and autumn season as it provides the most scenic views. During the monsoon season, the roads are wet and prone to landslides. However, if you are keen to witness the valley with the lush and misty environment with less crowd, you would not mind the monsoon season.

Likewise, the views of the mountain are terrific during the winter season. The spring and autumn seasons are best for clear skies, greenery, and shades of red and pink scattered in the flora all around. While the summer days are of scorching hot sun and cool breeze at night, the mountain views are most spectacular during the winter season.
