When to Trek in the Langtang Valley?
The best time to trek is the dry season from October to May. The worst time is the monsoon season from June to September. Dry seasons in Nepal are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). Please avoid the monsoon season as there are many risks at this time of year.
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. Spring season is best for mountain vista and blooming green lush forests. Furthermore, would highly recommend the autumn and spring seasons for hiking, trekking, and climbing in Nepal.

What travellers say
We booked a 10 days Langtang Valley trek with Nepal High Trek & Expedition and had an amazing time. The team is very professional & takes personal care.We were 3 of us and we had Nabin as our guide. He was exceptional. So good that by the end he was more of a friend than a guide. He took care of every little thing and was very professional. The most amazing part was the personal touch to every task. Also gave great advice he gave at every step. He understood every team members needs and made sure they are met. For example, I like to drink warm lemon water every morning before we start the day. I hesitantly told him on the first day and he made sure that every morning at 5.30am he provides warm water. Once I got injured and he applied band-aid from his first aid kit, then at Sybrubeshi took me to a medical shop for proper dressing. Twice we had accommodation issues and he instantly made some phone calls and sorted it in 5 minutes.Always jolly, at the same time very professional and tak…
Rakesh KhawasGreat trip that was well organised. Accommodation was good along the trek and views were unbeatable! Our group was small which made it easy to get to know the other people on the trip which was good as a solo traveller. 11 days was the perfect length trip and the guide and porters from Nepal High Trek Expedition were friendly and helpful.
Rio142015We have got a good opportunity from Nepal High Trek & Expedition because we have got from NHTE supreme service and excellent organizing. organizing. Suraj was an awesome guide for us two years ago. Other Trekkers doing the same Langtang valley trek would seek Anjan’s advice on various matters even though they had their own guides. Anjan was incredibly competent, well informed, very caring for me, my husband and son and he was great fun. I highly recommend Nepal High Trek & Expedition and Anjan.Date: 21/10/2024Contact Email: brian_fryer@live.com.au
Brian FryerSuch an unforgettable experience I am still glowing inside with memories. Our 8 day journey with Nepal High Trek and our AMAZING guide, Suraj, and porter Darche, into Langtang Valley and up Kyanjin Ri & Tserko Ri was beyond what I had imagined.I am SO glad we hired a guide and had Suraj be with us, as many sections of the trail was sketchy and he made us feel safe. His 12 years of experience was very apparent. I am also SO glad we hired a porter, Darche as he had such a positive spirit, and we got to really enjoy the views without destroying our knees.It is not just a trek to see the magnificent views of the snow-capped mountains. The trek is truly unique as we got to immerse ourselves in the beautiful Tibetan culture at the villages and teahouses. The Langtang Valley trek is extremely diverse: we walked through dense green forests, many river crossings, suspension bridges, open meadows, narrow paths, stone steps, dirt roads, and snow up at Tserko Ri. We also met other trekkers from a…

Christine YokoWe 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. The valley was indeed amazingly beautiful with clear skies, comfortable temperature in the day when we were hiking (it was cold at night though) and certainly no crowds.We were able to make quick decisions to go with the trek all thanks to Anjan (boss of Nepal High Trek), who was superbly quick in responding on the tour package (which was at a very reasonable price) and to our multiple queries which helped with our planning. He was flexible in our itinerary planning so we could make the best out of the limited days we would be in Nepal. Anjan is also a generous boss who catered to our requests.Overall a positive experience with the trekking staff, led by Pawan, who navigated us through the challenging terrains (at least to us beginner trekkers). Pawan took good notice of our preferences…
Kelvin YongMy sister and I were first-time trekkers and were absolutely impressed with the service from the agency Nepal High Trek. The Langtang Valley Trek 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 ti…
