When to Trek in the Langtang Region?
The best time to trek is the dry season from October to May. The worst time is the monsoon season period from June to September. This generalization does not allow for the peculiarities of individual treks. Some people claim that the undeniable difficulties of trekking during the monsoon are outweighed by the virtual absence of western trekkers.
Autumn Season ( September, October, November & December)
The first three months of the dry season from mid-September to mid-December offer the best weather for trekking around the Himalayas in Nepal. The air freshly washed by the monsoon rains is crystal clear, the mountain scenery is superb and the weather is still comfortably warm. December, January, and February are still good months for trekking but are too cold and frozen on the trail. Even though, the Langtang treks are always a favorable and low risk of altitude sickness and tough too.
Spring Season ( February to May)
From March to May, the weather has been dry for a long time and dust is starting to hang in the air, affecting visibility. The poorer quality of the Himalayan views is compensated for by the superb wildflowers such as the wonderful rhododendrons.

7 Days Langtang Valley Trek
We had the most amazing experience doing Langtang with Nepal High Trek and Expedition. The blend of culture and nature was amazing, we saw all sorts of different wildlife from mountain goats to monkeys. Our guide, Pawan, was extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was super friendly and we learned so much about the local animals, plants, and culture. The relationships this company has with the tea houses along the way add to the experience as you feel welcomed everywhere you go. Plus the food was fantastic and we were never hungry. Our porter Tarjan spoke little English but was a friendly and kind person, we really enjoyed his presence on the trail. The views were jaw-dropping, the company was fantastic and the culture added a unique aspect to the experience. This trip could not have been any better we absolutely loved our time in Langtang Valley. I undoubtedly recommend the Nepal High Trek and Pawan for Nepal trips.

Unforgettable Langtang Valley Trek with Nepal High Trek!
My Langtang Valley trek with Nepal High Trek was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was breathtaking, the trails were challenging yet rewarding, and the cultural immersion was incredible.
I would highly recommend using Nepal High Trek for your Langtang Valley trek. Their organization was excellent, and their communication from the start was exceptional. Anjan was fantastic throughout the planning process, ensuring everything was in order and providing detailed briefings before I started the trek.
My guide, Indako, was truly a gem. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We shared meaningful conversations throughout the trek, where I learned a lot about Nepali culture, Buddhism, and the local way of life. He was incredibly caring and attentive to my needs, ensuring I was comfortable and safe throughout the trek. Indako also knew when to encourage breaks, making sure I had the energy to fully enjoy the experience.
Even though this was my first time trekking and I was doing it solo, Indako’s positive energy and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. He’s a fantastic guide, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering the Langtang Valley trek.

Family Langtang Trek
What an incredible experience my family and I had with Nepal High Trek. We brought our 11 and 14 year old children over from the US to see a completely different part of the world. Our guide was excellent and helped to make sure our kids were well looked after, and they went out of their way to make sure they enjoyed the experience. He even helped our kids spot a Red Panda off the trail, which both had said was a ‘goal’ of theirs at the beginning of the trek! Nepal High Trek was always very attentive and made sure we enjoyed our experience. I even consider our guide, Indako Gole Tamang, a friend.
Just a word of caution, the trek is not ‘easy’ as there are long sections of steep ascents, so come prepared. It is probably one of the easier treks compared to the other treks offered by Nepal High Trek, but you definitely work up a sweat. All that to say, I cannot recommend this company enough! They wowed us from beginning to end. We felt valued throughout. Constantly encouraging and coaching us once we got up into the higher elevations and we started to feel the altitude. We’ve done many treks throughout the world, and we have rarely experienced the level of attentiveness and personalization that Nepal High Trek gave to us. We will be back and will definitely be using Nepal High Trek again in the future!

8 Days Langtang Valley Trek
My sister and I were first time trekkers and were absolutely impressed with the service from the agency Nepal High Trek. The itinerary was well organized and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Communication from Anjan was amazing and quick prior to booking when I was just doing my own research. All my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner.
The agency was very accommodating in adjusting the itinerary to our needs which I was impressed. On the first day of arrival in Kathmandu, Anjan and our trekking guide Subodh greeted us directly and reviewed the itinerary once again and allowed the opportunity for any questions and concerns. Subodh was an amazing and knowledgeable trekking guide and always looked after us during the trek. At one point during the trek, my sister was struggling with carrying her backpack and he willingly offered to carry it in addition to already carrying his own. I’m glad to have utilized this agency for my first time trekking experience as they’ve made it a great one. For future Nepal treks, I’ll def utilize them again and highly recommend this agency to every person out there who’s looking to trek in Nepal and needs guidance.

Langtang Valley with Tserkuri Hike
This was our first time trekking. Thank you so much for making it a memorable and wonderful experience from the beginning till the end. Communication was quick and efficient from Anjan prior to, during and after the trek. Our trekking guide Subodh was the best! I should have got a porter but Subodh helped me carried my bag and a few of my items during the trek because it got too difficult for me.
Subodh was very knowledgeable of the terrain. He was encouraging and went at our pace during the trek. He always made sure we were okay and safe. His communication was great because he would keep us informed of what to expect each day of the trek.
The views and terrain were beautiful. The food was great! The hospitality from the guesthouse was wonderful as well. I would highly recommend Nepal High Trek to friends or family that wants to trek here in Nepal. Their service exceeded my expectations. They treat their clients with the utmost respect.

We traveled as a group of three from Singapore in Dec 2023. While generally considered “off-season”, we booked our Langtang Valley trek on a whim with Nepal High Trek just a few weeks before the trek.

Langtang Valley Trek in December
Amazing! I booked at the very last minute and Anjan, the tour operator was extremely helpful and accommodating. With his guidance, i sorted out everything i needed and arrived in Kathmandu 2 days later. What i liked the most was the transparent pricing, online payment options and the patience he had in answering my 1,001 questions.
From Kathmandu, i met my guide Suraj without whom i never would’ve made it past the first day of the trek!
Suraj was not only a super helpful guide, he kept an eye on me and advised me accordingly to take proper breaks and to not give up!
needless to say, trekking over 4 days across mountains, rivers, valleys and then the summit plus glaciers was just wow!
suraj pointed out wild animals, cool rock formations and was ever willing to help me take some amazing shots!
we came back a day earlier due to my flights and both Anjan and Suraj were kind enough to not let me waste my last few hours without seeing some sights around Kathmandu before dropping me off at the airport,
Huge thank you to Anjan and Suraj for making this the trip of a lifetime!

Langtang Valley Trek with the best Team!
My brother and I did an unforgettable Langtang Valley Trek in December 2023 with Nepal High Trek and we had an amazing time! Nepal High Trek was helpful to all our questions from the start and attended to all our queries. When we made changes to the Trek dates, Anjan was patient and accommodated to all the changes.
We did our Trek with Suraj and Surya, who made an exceptional and amazing team! They were so kind, patient, and friendly and went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable by checking on our needs consistently. Even when I fell sick during the 3rd day of the trek, Suraj helped me with my day pack on top of his bags. He explained a lot during the Trek about Nepal’s history and geography too. He made sure we had ample tea breaks and consistently checked on us. For Surya, I’m also very thankful as he was carrying our backpacks, yet timely, he guided me down the descent whenever I needed help. He even went the extra mile to pack our sleeping bags in the morning as we needed help. We can safely say that they made a huge difference to our Trek as we were in safe hands!
Overall, we enjoyed our Trek so much and returned home with so many beautiful memories and rate this trek 10 out of 10 stars. We’re planning to do another Trek and will definitely book Nepal High Trek again with no hesitations!

My wife and I did an 8 day Langtang Valley Trek with Pawan as our guide. The company picked us up from the airport and booked us a great room at a hotel in the Thamel district of Kathmandu. Our hotel was fantastic, with great breakfast, clean room and a rooftop restaurant. The guide and owner were both available for any questions we had and gave us great tips for things to see while in Kathmandu. They then got us a jeep and driver to take us to the start of the Langtang Valley Trek. We had a great lunch halfway though our drive and our guide helped us through all the police checkpoints along the way. The hike itself was absolutely incredible! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, where to stay, the history of all the towns, the wildlife, and even the many plants we saw along the way. Unfortunately, I had come down with altitude sickness during our hike but I was very happy to have our guide with us from Nepal High Trek. It was nighttime when I got sick and was snowing heavy that night so I could not hike down. Our guide Pawan checked on me constantly, monitoring my oxygen saturation and blood pressure as well as bringing water/tea etc. He was able to coordinate with the owner Anjan back in Kathmandu and they got me on the next available helicopter, safe and sound. They took me to the hospital and kept in contact the whole time I was there to make sure everything was alright. If your are looking for a reliable company with friendly, knowledgeable guides that truly care and will help you out through anything, then this is it. We could not recommend Nepal High Trek enough and definitely plan on booking another trip with them in the future!!

100% Recommendation for Nepal High Trek & Expedition Team !!! My wife and I are booked for the 7 Days Langtang Valley Trek with this team. Begging of our trip we got everything is very customized and free of hassle. Anjan has made the trek itinerary according to our holiday length and preferences plan. He did respond to us very quickly with an affordable package. Communication was clear and professional from the outset, and we felt reassured before we left that we were in safe hands and wouldn’t have to decipher and possibly risk choosing from the multitude of trekking companies in Kathmandu. Our guide Pawan and porter Dorje were very helpful and friendly. Pawan has explained very well about the trail, accommodations, mountains, and local cultures.
Moreover, in December weather was perfect and we had an excellent time despite the cold. If you are planning to trek to Langtang valley don’t miss climbing the Tserkuri viewpoint and which was a brilliant viewpoint to see the numerous mountain views. We would like to thank the entire Nepal High Trek team and we will be back again with you.

Langtang valley is stunning. A quieter trail, less traffic, filled with raging rivers, waterfalls, and simply gorgeous scenery. We were fortunate to have our guide, Shyam, take us on this trek. He is calm, and caring, and works hard to accommodate all needs.
Anjan, the company owner goes ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure your trek is a lifetime, memorable, experience. Would recommend Nepal High Trek & Expedition if anyone is interested in treks throughout Nepal.

Langtang Valley with Chitwan Tour
We had a wonderful trip to Langtang Valley Trek with the 3 days Chitwan tour. We fully enjoyed and had fun with the glorious mountains, beautiful walk, and a spectacular Chitwan jungle safari with native cultures. The trip was organized by Nepal High Trek & Expedition, it was a brilliant team and affordable package too. Langtang Trek is a superb and moderate journey that had spent a memorable time in the mountain.
We are very happy and content with Nepal High Trek & Expedition team for an awesome trip. I’d highly recommend this perfect team those who are planning to visit Nepal in near the future.
Namaste & Thanks to the entire team.

We did complete the 7 days Langtang Valley Trek in May. Instantly our trip was booked with Nepal High Trek & Expedition and genuinely there were perfect and very flexible in everything. The trekking itinerary, budget, services, guide and porter were brilliant. We had a great time around the beautiful mountain and it was a great trip. Our guide Pasang was professional, friendly and helpful. He had helped us to complete the whole trip and the trip was easy that we didn’t feel AMS. I would highly recommend this trek and use to this perfect local team if anyone planning to visit in Nepal.

Langtang Valley with Gosainkunda Lake Trek
I traveled to Nepal with my parents and completed the Langtang Valley with Gosainkunda Pass Trek for over two weeks with Nepal High Trek & Expedition. We all played dice games together and had a load of fun but what impressed me most was Anjan’s knowledge and experience of the area, the culture, the mountains and around the valley of Langtang. Anjan’s calm confidence was always reassuring particularly when my mother got altitude sickness. A beautiful and memorable experience. I’ve recommended Anjan to friends and he would be my first choice if and when I will return soon to Nepal. We had a wonderful time with Nepal High Trek Team. A lot of thanks to everyone !!!

Langtang Valley with Gosainkunda
I traveled to Nepal two years ago with my parents and completed the Langtang Valley Trek and Gosainkuda Pass Trek with over two weeks with Nepal High Trek & Expedition Team. Our Guide was Anjan and he was professional and honest. We all played dice games together and had a load of fun but what impressed me most was Anjan’s knowledge of the area, the culture, and the trek. Anjan’s calm confidence was always reassuring particularly when my mother got altitude sickness. A beautiful and memorable experience. I’ve recommended Anjan to friends and he would be my first choice if and when I will return soon in Nepal. we had a wonderful time with Anjan.

I had an amazing time with Nepal High Trek! I planned my itinerary with Anjan by mail, who tailor-made it according to I my specific dates and requests. I was going to do the Langtang valley with Gosainkunda.
For the trek, I had the fortune of traveling with Indako, a very knowledgeable, friendly and funny guide. He was always ready to help, and fixed everything with food and accommodation. When I wanted to change the itinerary (see Tsergo Ri, and not go to Gosainkunda but return two days earlier) he planned a new itinerary on the fly.
When I brought inadequate shoes he traded his for mine (they fit him better) which saved my summit attempt for Tsergo Ri.
He also takes great pictures.
Cannot recommend him enough

Langtang Valley Trek
My husband and I did a trek up the Langtang Valley in May 2024 with Nepal High Trek. Pawan was our guide. We had the most amazing experience with this guide service. They were honest, knowledgeable, and affordable. They made sure we were taken care of from the moment they picked us up from the airport to when we were dropped off.
I could recommend Pawan as a guide if anyone planning to trek in Nepal. My husband ended up getting a moderate/severe case of altitude sickness and needed to be helicopter evacuated to a lower elevation. Pawan was very helpful in walking us through our options, getting him the medication he needed, and attempting first to have him hike down before a flight was needed.
When it was clear my husband could not hike down, he arranged a helicopter which came as quickly as it could given the weather. We did a lot of research looking into guiding companies for this once in a lifetime trek. Nepal High Trek was our first choice and they lived up to our high expectations. We are planning to back again for Mount Everest Base Camp in 2024.
Cheers Anjan & Pawan

Short Langtang Valley Trek
Excellent experience from start to finish! I had a last minute change of plans and contacted Anjan with less than 24 hours to go. He put together a 5 day Langtang Valley trek for my wife and me without missing a beat. We had an excellent guide (Buddhi) who took incredible care of us.
Reasons I would book with Anjan: personalized itinerary, experienced planner (Anjan used to be a guide himself), great guides, flexible planning, great value. Our 5-day itinerary included two private shuttles, 3 meals a day, lodging, a porter, and a guide for about a grand. On the trek, I didn’t have to worry about anything. If I felt like I could walk further, our guide knew the best place to stay in each stop and had the valley memorized like the back of his hand. Also, on the drive there are multiple army/police checkpoints and I didn’t have to deal with any headaches.
This trek would’ve been stressful (or impossible) to plan myself and Anjan and Buddhi made my life easy and made my wife happy. Worth every penny. I would book with these guys again next time I’m in Nepal.

Langtang Valley with Gosainkunda Lake Trek
In 2024, my son, husband and I did the Langtang Valley Trek with Anjan as our amazing guide. His knowledge of the area was extensive, including walking expectations, weather and terrain conditions, and the best places to stop, rest, eat and sleep. So much so, that other Trekkers called on his advice despite having their own guides. He was a very acknowledges an expert mountain guide. On the trek, Anjan was nurturing, fun and extremely amicable with everyone. He had a very endearing personality, and over the two-week trek, he became a member of our family. I highly recommend Anjan to anybody considering undertaking any trek in Nepal.

8 Days Langtang Valley Trek
Contact. Picked up at the airport, a nice welcome to a new land. Recommend getting an e-Sim for your smart device, as this was the only way we were able to notify the team at Nepal High Trek of our arrival. Our flight was late by an hour, apparently common in the region. It was raining when we arrived, and they were waiting for us. Strong start. Took us to our lodging and let us know when we were meeting next. These guys had done this before. It was obvious. Left me feeling confident for the upcoming adventure, which I admit being anxious about.
Day 1: Kathmandu to Syapru Besi. A 6-7 hour jeep trip with a tasty lunch en route. The locals call it ‘dal bhat’, a veggie platter with rice, lentil soup, freshly fried tortilla chip. We spent the first night at a hotel right above where Langtang river dumps into the Trishuli river. Had I mentioned it had rained? This river was ROARing. Slept with the windows open. Slept like a baby. Awoke charged, like a hydro plant drawing from the river.
Day 2: Syapru Besi to Rimche. Due to recent rainstorms, many sections of the state-sanctioned Langtang Valley trek were washed out by landslides. We are talking head-crushing boulders the size of engine blocks rolling down the hill. Large patches of earth, sliding down the steep grade caused by water erosion. Full sized trees uprooted. And we were in the middle of it. We were gonna hike in it. You know, like intentionally walk around all this dangerous fast-moving water on “paths” actively eroding into white water rapids. What could go wrong? Our knowledgeable guide, Suraj, took us on an alternate high road, north (and above) of the Langtang River. In the beginning, our guide wanted us to walk ahead, to figure out our pace. But we preferred he lead from the front, which he did, and without complaint. It’s important to communicate with the team. For those trekking at altitude for the first time, be smart and take it slowly, listen to your body. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. The spot our guide chose for us was a little downstream from Lama Hotel proper, but with a view, and minus the crowd. The rooms barely wider than two single beds placed parallel in a walk-in closet. But with a big shower, just below main deck, hill side. The kitchen with a charming custom-made clay stove, warming the cozy kitchen and dining area overlooking the valley. I was grateful for a rinse, hot meal, conversations with fellow adventurers, and a place to lay my head. The tea house is a good place to exchange trail experiences and tips.
Day 3: Rimche to Langtang village. At this point, I am glad to have a guide who knows the lay of the land, as well as the tea houses worthy of visiting, for there are many along the route. In many ways, the guide is the subject matter expert on the trail. Guides also share info amongst each other, which is helpful when there is a wild bee hive further down the trail, an oncoming herd of bulls or donkeys, or a section that had fallen into the roaring river below. This was also the day the back of my neck got cooked crispy by the sun, so cover yourself.
Day 4: Langtang to Kyanjin Ri (4,400m) Worth it. Climb it. Short but steep. The view is stunning. Get up there before the afternoon clouds roll in. I was anxious climbing, because it’s a steep ascent. But if you take your time, you’ll notice there are plenty of flat areas, as pointed out by our amazing porter and guru sherpa, Darcse. On the climb, I ran into someone who was also suffering from acrophobia, which made me feel a little better about my own anxiety. We took our time ascending, and the conversation made that mountain less foreign. Learned that when I slow down, the mind relaxes. Each step intentional. Perhaps a principle to apply to life. Both our guide, Suraj, and porter, Darcse, went up to Kyanjin Ri with us. I met other trekkers whose guides stayed at the lodge.
Day 5: Tserko Ri (5000m) This one was a beast. Left at 0500 with headlamp on. Took about 6 hours to get to this vista, and through snow. Snow spikes would’ve been helpful, but our trekking shoes and poles sufficed. UV protection ‘cuz you’re fully exposed for the top 1/3 of the climb. Upon reaching snowline, gotta climb the snow (for 1+ hours). We were winded on the descent, which speaks to the elevation and distance. Knees start to ache, so switch up your stride. Suraj led, but Darcse came along also, just for fun. It was good to have the team there, if for no other reason than for morale.
Day 6: Kyanjin to Rimche. Going down the valley makes you feel fast, comparatively. This is by far the easiest day of the whole trek: gradual descent, wide trails, open meadows. Darcse collected stinging nettle for soup; it was nutritious and satisfying.
Day 7: Rimche to Syapru Besi. At this point, the knees were at pain threshold. The descent is substantial, and more local foot traffic. Wild beehive just above the trail. Suraj stopped ahead of us and started putting on layers to cover his head and hands. I don’t think I would’ve noticed the bees had I been traveling solo.
Day 8: Syapru Besi to Kathmandu. Jeep ride. Stopped for lunch at the same tasty spot, then down towards the city.
Day 9: Ride to the airport. Pro tips: -Bring as much of your own gear as possible, and field test prior to this trek. This company does offer rentals, but for sake of comfort (and reliability), it’s good to know your gear will fit (and won’t fail you). -Stretch often. Prior to departure, during trek, in the evening. -Bring a filtration device (Steripen, Sawyer, probiotics). Consider the trash you will produce and how it will get down the valley. -Journal regularly, for you will learn much about yourself. In conclusion: Complete service consideration, from arrival to departure. Felt safe. Guide was within earshot the entire time.
One feels more connected to the culture with a local guide. If your guide is good, he (or she) will be able to identify the dangers of the route and suggest alternate routes. Also, able to identify food and speak on local history, including the 2015 earthquake that flattened Langtang Village. We are most thankful to Suraj and Darcse for being ambassadors of their country and showing us the dangerous beauty of their Himalayan Mountains. Further, gratitude to Anjan for coordinating all efforts. Keep up the good work, Nepal High Trek. Highly recommend!
