About Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang Valley Trek is a delightful experience of nature and culture that lies within the first national park of the Himalayan region, Langtang National Park. The Langtang National Park is rich in biodiversity and beautiful nature landscapes. This trek is an ideal option for trekkers who want to have all the excitement of the Himalayas in a short period. A few hours of scenic drive from Kathmandu will take you to the Langtang region.

The Langtang Valley Trek is diverse and wild as any other trekking destination in Nepal and is near the capital city Kathmandu. This trek takes you near to the snowcapped mountains and glaciers in just a few days while being accompanied by beautiful villages of Tibetan and Tamang with their unique culture, magnificent views of mountains, prayer flags, mani wall, Buddhists shrines, chortens, rhododendron, and bamboo forests. The Langtang region is famous for being home to a wide range of Himalayan wildlife with some rare and protected animals like Red Panda and Snow Leopard.

Highly recommended

My husband and I met and trekked with Sujan 9 years ago and we have stayed in contact with him all these years. He was such a great, genuine and hospitable guide on our first trek that we booked another with him a few days later! Sujan has a vast array of knowledge and is very easy going with a lovely personality. We will return one day to trek with Sujan when our 3 young boys are old enough to explore the Himalayas. We highly recommend Sujan as a guide in the Himalayas!
