We always make sure our staff members are happy as we believe that only happy people can make others happy. Our trek guide have:

This trek includes fixed departure dates from Kathmandu but can be tailored to accommodate your specific requests and schedule. Please review your designated departure dates, and if they do not suit you, let us know how we can arrange a trek at a time convenient for you.

The itinerary listed above is a general guideline, but it might require modifications due to external factors beyond our control, such as unstable weather, inaccessibility, unavailability of lodging and campsites, and unforeseen governmental decrees.

Although it is very improbable that changes will occur that would significantly alter the original itinerary, we cannot be held accountable for the results of delays or changes beyond our control. In the event of an itinerary adjustment or the need to redirect to other trails and areas, the lead guide will ultimately decide after consulting with the group members and keeping in mind the interests of all trek members.

We recommend you carry the basic clothing and accessories needed for the trek. We understand that our valuable clients have their preferences. However, this is the suggested list we have created. Porters will carry the main luggage. The luggage weight limit is 9 kg per trekker. We provide one porter for every two trekkers. Hence, we advise you to find a partner and pack your things in a duffle bag of over 60 liters.

Arrival, Welcome, and Trek Start
When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will welcome you with a pamphlet displaying your name.

They will present a marigold garland or Khada and then transfer you to your hotel in a private vehicle. To ensure ample time for last-minute preparations, you need to arrive in Kathmandu by 3 pm at least one day before the trek departure.

Your trek begins with an 8–9 hour drive to Syabrubesi, the gateway to Langtang. you will go Kathmandu to Syabrubesi for a private luxury jeep.

During the trek, you will stay in the best available lodges for seven nights. Five of these nights include accommodations with private attached bathrooms at Syabrubesi, Langtang Village, and Kyanjin Gompa, while two nights will be in standard rooms at Lama Hotel.

Electricity for charging devices, Wi-Fi for internet access, and hot showers are available in most lodges but come with an additional fee.

Two nights’ stay (before and after the trek) in Kathmandu is required included in the package.

The best seasons for trekking in Langtang Valley are spring (March-May) and autumn (September–November), when weather conditions are most favorable, with clear skies and stunning mountain views. Summer (June-August) offers pleasant trekking conditions before the monsoon rains, while winter (December–February) can be cold with snowfall but offers fewer crowds and clear days. The monsoon season coincides with summer, which brings rain, making trails slippery but rewarding with lush landscapes and rainbows.

A typical trekking day begins with breakfast at the lodge around 7–8 am. You will hike for 3–4 hours, followed by a lunch break along the trail around mid-day. The afternoon walk is generally shorter, lasting 2–3 hours, before reaching the overnight lodge. After reaching the lodge, you are free to explore the nearby areas. Dinner is around 6–7 pm, followed by a briefing about the next day’s plan from your trek guide. After this briefing, you can spend your time playing games, socializing, or watching videos before going to bed.

Our team of government-licensed guides and Sherpas from the remote Himalayas will ensure your trek is safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Our guides have completed wilderness first aid and ecological conservation training, and they bring years of trekking expertise and deep knowledge of the Himalayas. We pay them well and cover their insurance, food, and lodging during the trek. We take pride in caring for our team because a happy crew delivers the best experience for you.
