Langtang Circuit Trek is a magical combination of adventure, biodiversity, spectacular Himalayan snow-capped peaks, and Tibetan influenced cultural and ethnic encounters. This trek offers several reasons to join; rhododendron forests, culturally rich villages, white Himalayan peaks, majestic waterfalls, high altitude lakes, glaciers, several endangered wild animals, natural hot springs, etc. This trek is the combination of Langtang Valley, Gosainkunda Lake, and Helambu village. The start starts from Syabrubensi, completes the Langtang region first, Gosainkunda region in the middle and Helambu valley at the end.
Langtang Circuit Trek is a wonderful trekking route. This trek is suitable for everyone, whether a beginner or an experienced hiker. Although most part of the trail is easy to a moderate level, there involves some steep ascending and descending as well. The trail is a spectacular adventure that a trekker can give a try; away from hustles and bustles. We will be exploring Tamang and Shera communities and their cultures / traditions most of the time.
Unlike crowded and commercialized Annapurna and Everest region treks, trekking in this region is a lot different and most enjoyable. As the region serves fewer tourists every year, Langtang Circuit Trekking is also an ideal route for travelers looking for a quiet trail in the Himalayas. Taking about two and a half weeks, this trek is an ideal route for people wanting to trek in a peaceful environment.
Langtang Circuit Trek is one of the very beautiful yet very simple treks. This is a tea house based trekking route hence, we will be eating and sleeping in the lodges throughout the trek (Day 2 to Day 15). The conditions of the lodges are comparatively lower than in other popular trekking routes of Annapurna and Everest so it will be basic standard meals and accommodation.
This is a total 17 days program, 2 days for international arrival and departure, 1 day for Kathmandu to the trek starting point drive and 13 night 14 days trek in the Himalayas. It’s a beautiful, easy to moderate level trekking route. Please expect to walk about 5-6 hours each day or most days and about 6 – 7 hours walking on longer days. The trail is mostly gentle ascending / descending.
This is completely tea house based trek hence we will be sleeping and eating in the lodges. In Kathmandu, we provide 3 start category hotel accommodation with breakfast and it will be standard lodges while on the trek. The lodges on the trek will be mostly shared bathroom / shared toilet while in 1/2 places we may provide you rooms with private toilet.
The meals on the trek will be mostly locally prepared using local ingredients most of the time. Kathmandu offers a wide selection of meals in basic to high standard luxury lounges. On the trek, the number of meal items will be limited to a small number.
This is a moderate to difficult level trekking route. This trekking can be done throughout the year however February to May and September to December are better months comparing to other months i.e. June, July, August, January, etc. During best months the sky is generally crystal clear, the views are breathtaking and the weather is lovely as well. March to April is the months of blossoming season of rhododendron and many other flowers which looks very beautiful lush of green forests. From October to December you will see more green forests in the area. As this is the ultimate adventure of your life we recommend you to plan the trek properly and during best months though Himalayan Leisure, Inc. will be able to arrange your trip throughout the year.
