Langtang valley trekking is a small and beautiful valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border. It is between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. Langtang Lirung (7246m) dominates the valley to the north; Gang Chhenpo (6388m) and Naya Kangri (5864m) lie to the south; and Dorge Lakpa (69866m) protects the east end of the valley. The area was designated Nepal's first Himalayan national park in 1971. This high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious practices, language and dress are much more similar to those of Tibet than to the traditions of their cousins in the Middle Hills. Langtang valley trekking offers an opportunity to explore villages, climb small peaks and visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. According to legend a lama following a runaway yak discovered the valley. Hence the name- lang is Tibetan for 'yak' and teng (more correctly dhang) means 'to follow'.

Memorable experience at Langtang with Basecamp
We are on our way home after a wonderful trek at Langtang, thanks to Base camp Adventures. Langtang is a very good first trek that takes you deep into himalayas in just a few days. You experience green forests along the way. The destination Kyanjin Gumpa is surrounded by tall snow covered mountains, including Langtang Lirung a 7000er. You can climb up to two view points that take you to 4950m. Our guide Shiva was friendly, and knowledgeable. We chatted about his past treks, nepali culture, geography, society and even politics. I learned a lot. Our porterMitra was great too. We could tackle the challenge of getting to Tserko Ri only because of constant encouragement and support by Shiva and Mitra. Many thanks to those two. It was easy to work with Shree during booking. Hotels chosen, at Kathmandu and along the trek were nice. Airport pick up orompt. One the whole great experience for our first outing into Nepal. Wholeheartedly recommend Base camp Adventures.

Our 4th wonderful experience with shree at Base Camp Adventures
On our 4th visit to Nepal with Base camp adventures, Shree organised our new package starting with a 12 day Langtang Gosainkunda Lake trek. Beginning with an exiting jeep ride to Syaprubesi and ending in Nagarcot. As always a faultless experience from start to finish. With spectacular views of the Langtang valley and the peaceful surroundings of the lakes its a must do trek. Our guide Shiva was fantastic with excellent English and a wide knowledge of our surroundings . So impressed we booked another trek with Shree and asked for Shiva again on the Mardi Himal a 5 day trek in the Annapurna region. Another must fo if time is against you, great views and changeable landscapes. We finished our package off in Bardyia national park, 3 days safari, first day jeep ride we found a Bengal Tiger, close up! Followed by wild Elephants and Rhinos. For Birders like us this is paradise. Thank you Shree again! and our guide Shiva for another wonderful experience see you next year.

Nothing but recommendable
I just came back from this amazing trek! I can say, it's totally and absolutely worth doing! My guide Prakash was just the kind of trekking partner I needed. Fun, and knowledgeable and friendly. I really can't fault Base Camp at all. Granted, some of the tea houses are very basic, but that's obviously not under their control. So I can only recommend these guys. They won't disappoint.

Exceeded all expectations
Just a great experience from the first moment we contacted Shree from Base Camp Adventure until long after we finished the trek. He was very prompt and concise in responding before we went to Nepal, and when we arrived in his office in Thamel to talk about the trek, he immediately introduced us to the guide (Jwala, best guide we've ever had). Shree asked a lot of questions about us to to make sure he could compose the perfect trek for us. There was a lot of flexibility, and we decided to add a trek to the holy Gosaikunda lakes while already on the Langtang trek. Everything was taken care for perfectly. Jwala had our safety and experience in mind first, and had great advice and ensured we had no problems with altitude. He is very experienced - ask him about all his adventures in the Himalayas! During the trek, he taught us a lot about Nepal, the Tamang culture, and all other things we as Western visitors were curious about. We felt safe, unpressured, free and comfortable at all times. Shree and Jwala have become good friends and we would recommend travelling with them to everyone. Thanks for everything Shree and Jwala!

Fully worth doing
This trekking company is an excellent choice in Nepal. I actually found them on TripAdvisor, and I’m delighted I did! My guide Prakash was fantastic, and the whole trek was perfectly planned. Overall, just an amazing experience to be in Nepal, and do this amazing trek.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $1,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days?

Not included: Your travel insurance (compulsory); International airfare and airport departure tax; Alcoholic, hot and cold drinks, laundry; and Personal trekking Equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Langtang Valley Trek - 8 Days?
