Trip Extensions
Chitwan Trip Extension - Jungle Safari
Chitwan National Park is the perfect way to wind down and relax after your rugged trek to Everest Base Camp. Nestled in the southern lowlands of Nepal, this pristine national park offers a different kind of adventure - one that’s all about wildlife, nature, and tranquility. Here’s why you should consider this amazing extension.
Difficulty:
Moderate
How challenging is the trek?
The Langtang Valley Trek is one of Nepal’s most accessible high-altitude adventures, both geographically and physically. But don’t mistake “accessible” for “easy.” The trail still climbs to nearly 5,000m, includes some long days on the trail, and packs in plenty of ascent and descent through steep Himalayan terrain.
That said, it’s one of the best treks in Nepal for anyone with a moderate level of fitness, or for trekkers wanting a first taste of high-altitude trekking without committing to a three-week expedition.
Here’s how to gauge whether you’re ready:
Pre-Trek Fitness Prep
Before the trip, you should aim to:
- Hike for 5 to 8 hours per day carrying a 5 to 8kg backpack
- Train on inclines, with 500 to 800m of elevation gain, ideally over varied terrain
- Get used to trekking on consecutive days to build endurance and reduce the chance of fatigue on the trail
If you’re dreaming of a Himalayan trek but not sure if you’re ready for Everest Base Camp or the Three Passes just yet. Langtang is the perfect starting point. With a bit of training over a few months, this trek is very achievable for most people.
What to expect on the trek
Altitude Challenges
The highest point on the trek is typically Kyanjin Ri (4,773m) or Tserko Ri (4,984m) both optional side hikes above Kyanjin Gompa, the final settlement in the valley. While the altitude isn’t as extreme as Everest or Mera, you’ll still be spending several days above 3,000m, so proper acclimatisation is still important.
Duration
The Langtang Valley Trek takes 11 days, including time to get to and from the trailhead at Syabrubesi, which is a day’s drive from Kathmandu. Most days involve 5 to 8 hours of walking, though side hikes may add extra hours and elevation on certain days.
The pace is steady, with time to explore villages, soak up the scenery, and get a feel for the rhythm of mountain life.
Terrain
The trail takes you through a range of environments, from lush forests to alpine meadows to glacier views. Expect:
- Well-defined trails with plenty of stone staircases, steep climbs, and descents
- Some exposed sections, but no technical climbing or use of ropes
- River crossings, suspension bridges, high latitude alpine areas
While it’s a trekking route and not a climb, a good level of fitness will definitely help you enjoy the journey more.
Weather
Langtang is lower in altitude than some of Nepal’s other major trekking regions, so the temperatures tend to be a little milder. That said, nights in Kyanjin Gompa and higher areas can still drop below freezing, especially in spring and autumn.
You’ll need layers, waterproofs, and solid hiking boots, but not the full high-altitude climbing kit.
Essential Kit
Take a look at the recommended essential kit below to ensure you're fully equipped and ready to enjoy your trip to the fullest. A full and detailed packing list can be downloaded.
Waterproof jacket
A versatile gore-tex or similar material jacket is ideal for year round walking, hiking and trekking in the roughest weather. Jackets like the Latok Mountain GORE-TEX® Pro Jacket offer great weather protection and breathability when you need it.
Latok Mountain GORE-TEX Pro Jacket
Insulated jacket
A down or synthetic insulated jacket is a must for sub-zero conditions. Jackets like the Montane Anti-Freeze XT Down Hoodie use water-resistant down for an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, with features like high collars and storm flaps to trap heat.
Montane Anti-Freeze XT Down Hoodie
Sleeping bag
A warm and reliable down-filled sleeping bag is essential for multi-day trekking or backpacking adventures. The Rab Ascent 700 is a great example, made with recycled materials and designed for both regular camping and mountain use.

Base layer top
A warm and breathable long-sleeve base layer, combining materials like Merino wool and synthetic fibres, helps regulate body temperature in various outdoor conditions. The Helly Hansen Lifa Merino Midweight is one such example.

Trekking shorts
Lightweight and durable walking shorts are ideal for fast-paced mountain hikes. Shorts like Montane's Tenacity Lite use stretch fabrics to offer protection from wind and abrasion.

Tough, lightweight and versatile trousers are perfect for a range of outdoor activities. The Montane Terra Pants continue to be a go-to choice for everything from trekking to scrambling.

Leggings
Lightweight leggings with moisture-wicking fabrics are ideal for active use. The North Face Flex High Rise Leggings offer comfort and sweat management during exercise.

What customers say about us
11-Day Langtang Valley Trek Itinerary
Welcome to Kathmandu – the capital city of Nepal.
Today is your first day with EverTrek. Once you’ve passed through passport control and collected your bags, you’ll head out to the front of Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) to be greeted by one of our friendly team members - look for the EverTrek sign, you won’t miss them! They will be there to pick you up and transport you to your hotel in Thamel.
EverTrekkers will be arriving throughout the day at differing flight times. This means that you will have a chance to rest and relax after your journey to Nepal, and may also have the opportunity to meet some of the team and fellow trekkers, to discuss details of your upcoming trek.
You will enjoy a group meal with your fellow trekkers. You'll be taken to one of the most popular local restaurants where you can enjoy Nepali food along with cultural music and ethnic dance.
Today you will head out into Kathmandu and visit the cultural and historical sites of the Kathmandu Valley.
You will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu and enjoy lunch at one of our favourite viewpoints in the city. Kathmandu lies at 1300m above sea level so it’s important to get out and about today and let your body acclimatise.
Today also gives you the opportunity to grab any last-minute items in the trekking hub of Thamel and get an early night ready for the trek tomorrow.
You'll get up nice and early and grab some breakfast before the long and bone-rattling drive to the starting point of the trek at Syabru Besi.
It's a bit of an adventure as the drive takes around 7 hours but it's a super scenic drive passing through mountain valleys, village bazaars as well as seeing numerous terraced farms. You'll also get to spot some of the large mountain areas of the Himalayas like the Annapurnas, Manaslu as well as the peaks of the Langtang region which you will get closer to over the next week.
Once we reach Syabrubesi we'll trek upwards for 2-3 hours and reach the scenic village of Khanjim
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
Let's zip up that daypack and lace up those boots as the trek really gets going!
The trail takes you along the Langtang Khola river through some dense forest, passing waterfalls whilst surrounded by mountain views. All whilst sharpening your eyes and trying to spot the elusive Red Panda. The trek will last for 5-6 hours depending on the group's pace before we reach the Llama Teahouse where we will stay for the night.
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
The trek starts to creep upwards as we head to Langtang village at 3430m.
The further up the valley you go, especially as you reach the lush meadows at Ghora Tabela you'll start to see the huge face of Langtang Lirung tower above you at 7246m.
After 5 hours of trekking, you'll pass the old Langtang village which was completely destroyed in the 2015 earthquake by a huge landslide. The surviving families have worked incredibly hard to get the Langtang valley area back up and running for trekkers and the actual village is around 100m above the old village. It's certainly a very sombre spot as it was one of the most impacted areas when the earthquake happened. Just by trekking here, you'll be helping the Langtang area get back on its feet as this was once the 3rd most popular trekking area in Nepal.
Once we reach the new Langtang village we'll sit down with a well earned cup of tea before having time to explore the area a bit more.
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
As you'll leave the Langtang village, the trail winds its way through the Yak pastures and reach the wider section of the valley where the river splits in two.
You'll notice the stark difference in terrain as the grass and dusty paths get replaced by glacial moraine and boulders. As you reach the village of Kyanjin Gompa, you'll spot the long glacier dropping down the face of Langtang Lirung which comes all the way down to the trailhead. This is definitely one of the best scenic spots along the entire trek.
We'll spend the night here before going even higher tomorrow when we tackle the viewpoint of Kyangin Ri at 4,773m
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
It's time to get to the high point of the trek when we hike up to Kyanjin Ri which is one of the best viewpoints in the entire Himalayas.
The panoramic view here of the Langtang peaks is truly something else with the huge walls of ice and rock tower above you like giants standing in a line. The hike is a challenging one but we'll take it slow and steady before reaching the rocky summit covered in Prayer flags.
Once we drop back down to the village of Kyanjin Gompa, there's heaps of things to do like checking out the local monastery, a cheese factory(Nothing like some fresh Nak cheese) or even just sit back and enjoy the views. If you get a clear night, this place is one heck of a spot to do some star gazing.
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
Although you've reached the highest point of the trek, there are still some epic views on the return journey to enjoy.
It's quite a big day physically as the trek takes around 7 hours and you'll descend over 1800m but you'll pass some of the best spots like Langtang village and some of the beautiful waterfalls again before dropping right down the valley back to the Lama Teahouse where a hot cup of tea awaits.
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
Time to leave the home comforts of the Lama teahouse and enjoy their wonderful tea for the very last time.
You'll descend back down via a slightly different route following the river and passing through local Nepalese villages like Bamboo with its suspension bridge and the settlement of Domen before reaching the village of Syabrubesi where you'll stay for your last night amongst the mountains of the Himalayas.
Meals included: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
As you reach the last point of the trek and grab the bus back for the return journey to Kathmandu.
You'll think back to the spectacular Langtang village, the even more scenic views from Kyanjin Ri and spending time in one of the best trekking areas in Nepal. What an adventure!
Meals included: Breakfast
You've had an incredible journey, probably made some awesome new friends along the way and you've got a bucket load of stories to tell the folks at home!
The adventure is over but the memories will last a lifetime. On this day, we will transfer you back to Kathmandu airport for your departure back home.
See you over in Nepal again. Namaste!

Food & Accommodation
The Langtang Valley is a wild, beautiful region filled with forests, waterfalls, yak pastures and soaring snowy peaks — and your accommodation and meals along the way are a key part of the adventure! From bustling Kathmandu to remote mountain villages and cozy teahouses, here’s exactly what you can expect when it comes to eating and sleeping on the Langtang Trek.
Accommodation
Hotel in Kathmandu (Nights 1, 2 & 10)
Before and after your trek, you’ll stay at a comfortable hotel in Kathmandu, such as Hotel Aloft or similar, located in the vibrant heart of Thamel. Perfect for kicking back after the flight and then again after your mountain adventure. Twin-share rooms with en-suite bathrooms and WiFi come as standard.
Teahouses on the Trek (Nights 3-9)
The true trekking experience! Along the Langtang Valley route, you’ll stay in family-run mountain lodges, often called teahouses. These are simple but charming places that offer everything you need:
- Twin-share rooms (sometimes dorm-style in smaller villages)
- Shared bathrooms (usually squat toilets, but Western-style loos pop up in some places too)
- Communal dining areas where the yak dung stove (yes, really!) keeps you toasty in the evenings
- Basic bedding provided, but it’s best to bring your own 4-season sleeping bag for extra warmth
Electricity is available in some teahouses for charging devices (small fee), but it can get patchy the higher you go. Hot showers are sometimes available at lower altitudes, typically for a small fee.

Food on the Trek
Fuel is everything when you’re hiking in the Himalayas, and on the Langtang trek, you’ll enjoy a great mix of hearty local dishes and comforting Western meals.
You’ll be eating three meals a day on the trail — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — usually cooked fresh in the teahouses where you stay.
What’s Included:
- All meals during the trek (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
- Breakfasts in Kathmandu
- Group welcome dinner on Day 1
Typical Meals:
Breakfast
- Tibetan bread, pancakes, porridge, eggs (any style)
- Tea, coffee, hot lemon, and sometimes hot chocolate
Lunch
- Dal Bhat (the Nepali powerhouse meal — rice, lentils, veg, sometimes with refills!)
- Fried noodles, fried rice, soups, or momos (Nepali dumplings)
Dinner
- Soups, vegetable curries, pasta dishes, potatoes and rice dishes
- Warm, filling meals perfect for the cooler evenings
You’ll also get the chance to sample some local specialties like fresh yak cheese in Kyanjin Gompa — a real highlight for any foodie!
Snacks
We recommend bringing some favourite trail snacks like protein bars, nuts, or energy gels. Although you can buy snacks along the way, they get more expensive the higher you go.
Water:
- Boiled or treated water is available at the lodges
- Bring a reusable water bottle or hydration bladder (2-3L capacity)
- We suggest also carrying some water purification tablets or a filter bottle
In March 2019, we became the first UK high-altitude trekking company to introduce purified water filters across all of our Nepal treks, reducing reliance on single-use plastic bottles and providing clean, great-tasting water without chemicals. Previously, trekkers depended on bottled water or purification tablets - neither of which were sustainable or ideal. With each trekker potentially using over 50 plastic bottles per trip, the impact added up fast. In our first season, this initiative prevented the use of around 16,500 one-litre plastic bottles in the Everest region - the equivalent height of five Ben Nevis mountains stacked! While filtered water isn’t possible in every location due to limited water sources, we use the system wherever conditions allow, as part of our ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable trekking. In the areas where it’s not possible due to limited water sources there will be access to buy bottled water.
Dietary Requirements
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or other dietary needs? No problem — as long as you let us know in advance, we’ll do our best to cater for you. Options become a little more basic at higher altitudes, but you’ll still be well looked after.
The Langtang Valley is a truly special place and staying in traditional teahouses with local families is part of what makes this trek so unforgettable. You’ll experience true Himalayan hospitality, hearty food, and million-dollar views - every single day.

FAQs
The Langtang Valley trek with EverTrek usually costs between £2,050 and £2,250, depending on the departure date. This includes internal transport in Nepal, all necessary permits, accommodation, meals while trekking, and full support from our experienced local guides. For treks including a summit attempt on Langtang Peak, the price also covers technical equipment hire like crampons, harness, and helmet.
You don’t need to be an ultra-athlete to enjoy the Langtang Valley trek, but a good level of general fitness will definitely help you get the most out of the experience. This is actually our shortest trek in Nepal, and it’s less physically demanding than Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit.
That said, you’ll still be trekking at altitude for several days, so being comfortable with hill walking and hiking for 4–7 hours a day will really improve your enjoyment and help with acclimatisation. Regular cardio, hill walks, or gym sessions in the lead-up to your trip go a long way.
Even though the Langtang Valley trek is one of our shorter and more manageable routes in Nepal, some training will definitely help you feel more confident and enjoy the journey. We recommend building up your cardiovascular fitness and leg strength through activities like hiking, hill walking, cycling, swimming, or gym sessions.
Try to include some longer walks (4–6 hours) on consecutive days with a backpack to simulate the trekking experience. Aim to train 3–4 times a week in the months before your trek.
If you’re joining one of our training weekends in the UK (like the Brecon Beacons or Snowdonia), it’s a great chance to meet the team, build confidence, and get used to walking with a loaded daypack.
Most costs are covered in the trip price, but it’s wise to budget an additional £20–£45 per day for extras like snacks, drinks, Wi-Fi, hot showers, charging devices, and tips. Having some Nepalese Rupees in small denominations is also handy along the trail.
Yes, hot showers are generally available at most teahouses during the trek, especially in the lower villages. As you gain altitude, facilities become more basic, and hot water may not always be available. Many trekkers choose to use wet wipes or quick washes at higher elevations due to the cold and limited water supply.
The best seasons for Langtang are:
- Spring (March to May): Warmer temperatures, stable weather, and beautiful rhododendron blooms.
- Autumn (September to November): Clear skies, cool weather, and incredible visibility.
Both seasons offer excellent trekking and summit conditions.
Tipping is a great way to thank your team. We suggest budgeting around 10% of your total trip cost. For example, if your trek costs £2,250, a tip of around £225 (shared among your guides and porters) is appreciated. We’ll guide you on how to distribute it fairly at the end of your trip.
How can I reduce my risk of altitude sickness?
To help prevent altitude-related illness:
- Stick to the itinerary, which includes acclimatisation days.
- Drink 3–4 litres of water daily.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking.
- Watch for early signs like headaches, nausea, and fatigue.
- Speak up—our guides are trained to respond and act fast.
- Consider using Diamox (acetazolamide) if advised by your GP.
Safety is our top priority, and if descent is necessary, your guide will take care of everything.
Yes, while there’s no internal flight on the Langtang Valley trek, we ask that your main duffel bag does not exceed 15kg. This is the maximum weight we allow per bag to protect the health and safety of our hardworking porters. You’ll also carry a daypack with essentials like water, snacks, and layers.
Smart packing makes all the difference, focus on lightweight, multi-use clothing, and consider buying heavier items like snacks or toiletries in Kathmandu to help stay within the limit.
