The Langtang Valley trek is famously known for its picture-perfect landscapes, less crowded trail, short duration, and affordability. It is one of the best beginner-friendly treks in Nepal that is suitable for trekkers of all ages.
Similarly, you do not need to be physically super fit to do the Langtang Valley trek 10 days. If you have never trekked before in Nepal, the Langtang Valley trek can be a perfect introduction to the Himalayan trails for you.
Langtang Valley's proximity to Kathmandu makes this trekking destination a top choice for many trekkers. The starting point of the Langtang Valley trek, Syabrubesi, is situated only 122 km from Kathmandu.
The Langtang Valley is located north of Kathmandu in the Langtang National Park, which is home to the Langtang Himalayas (the heart of the central Himalayan range in Nepal).
From Kathmandu, you can reach Syabrubesi in just 7 to 9 hours of driving. The road is well-made, and the views are heavenly. You will see lush hills, rivers, waterfalls, terraced fields, and snow-topped mountains.
Unlike the EBC trek (Kathmandu to Lukla), the elevation gain is also not drastic between Kathmandu and Sybrubesi. So, the risk of altitude sickness also remains low.
The Langtang Valley trek has always been one of the most popular treks in Nepal. The natural beauty, adventure, cultural encounters, and mountain vistas this trek offers in a very short duration are incredible.
However, the 2015 earthquake hit the region hard. So hard that even after 10 years, the tourist flow in the region remains comparatively lower than in the Everest and Annapurna regions.
The Langtang region has completely recovered from the earthquake. In fact, many new teahouses and tourist infrastructure were built during the region's recovery.
Today, the Langtang region has become a hot spot for trekkers looking for a peaceful trek in Nepal. Among all the trekking routes in the Langtang region, the Langtang Valley trek remains a top choice for its natural diversity, adventure, mountain vistas, and overall experience.
The Langtang Valley trek route from Kathmandu
Our Langtang Valley trek is 10 days long. You can buy trekking supplies on your arrival day in Kathmandu. The journey begins on the second day of the trip.

Tserko Ri is a viewpoint above Kyanjin Gompa and also the highest point of the Langtang Valley trek. The trail is steep and rocky. It can be a bit challenging to hike to Tserko Ri.
You will begin hiking to Tserko Ri before sunrise because the weather and wind are stable. Upon reaching Tserko Ri, you will see a stunning 360-degree panoramic view of Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak, Dorje Lhakpa, Shishapangma, and many others.
