Overview of Langtang Valley Trek
The Langtang Valley Trek 11 Days is a short and sweet trek close from Kathmandu. It starts with a scenic drive to Syabrubesi — a small town that is the main gate to Langtang National Park. From there, you slowly walk up through forest of oak and rhododendron where sometimes you can see monkeys and even red panda if you are lucky. As you move up, the trail opens into wide green valley full of mountain air.
The best point of trek is hiking up to Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m) or Tsergo Ri (4,984 m) where you see full 360° views of Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak and even Shishapangma. Along the way you pass small Tamang villages where prayer flags, stone houses and old monasteries show how close their life is with nature. The people here are simple and kind with deep Tibetan roots.
Himalayan Friendly planned this trip with slow and safe pace so it fits for everyone, even beginners. They focus on your comfort, food, safety and real cultural touch. Every moment of this trek feels special from warm tea in morning to quiet starry nights in the mountains.
