Discover the varied vistas, intriguing Tamang culture, tempo, and proximity to Kathmandu. Many hikers consider the Langtang Valley Trek to be their favorite trek. This excursion is exciting because of the picturesque views of the charming village inside the Langtang National Park. Both experienced and inexperienced hikers should holiday at Langtang. It will be a truly incredible experience.
In the large, rural Langtang Valley, Tibetan culture is practiced by the majority of the population. Additionally, during the peak season, you can take in breathtaking views of pine forests, rhododendron, snow-capped mountains, stunning glaciers, etc.
Wonderful opportunity for acclimatization and a variety of landscapes. The Langtang Trek, also known as the inner Langtang National Park route, is presently taken by about 25% of tourists who embark on mountain treks in Nepal.
You will go to the old Kyanjin Gompa monastery adjacent to Tserko. This diversified tour preserves this legacy and introduces you to the Tamang and Sherpa Buddhist cultures. Langtang Lirung (7,245m/23,769ft), Dorje Lakpa (6,990m/22,933ft), and Langtang Ri (6,370m/20,898ft) can all be seen in stunning detail from this climb.
Uphill, the path climbs 3817 meters. If you want to go even higher, don't miss the chance to see the sunrise from the Tserko Ri at 5,000 meters. The Langtang national park also defends threatened flora and animal species. During your trek in Langtang Valley, you will cross through the national park.
A 420 sq km buffer zone is part of the Langtang National Park, which was established in 1976 and has a total area of 1710 sq km. A great variety of plants and animals will be visible. Walking in remote locations like Langtang makes you happier and reduces all of your stress. This feeling is amazing.
Kyanjin Gompa is the last teahouse on the short Langtang Trek. This is a fantastic place to find the magnificence of nature's hidden splendors. Learn more about the socioeconomic status of the inhabitants. Engaging with people and taking photos of their children is the best way to make the tour more memorable.
Spend a fulfilling day with the Tamang people and then hike to Kyanjin Gompa. Enjoy Ghoda Tabela's exceptional hospitality. The journey's highest point, Kyanjin Gompa, is located at 3,817 meters.
It will take you six hours to go to Kyanjin Gompa.

Tamangs make up more than 80% of the local population in the Langtang area. They have a fantastic tradition and unique culture, which includes a special language, ethnic costume, writing system, musical instrument, and social customs.
There are more than 120 subclans in the Tamang caste. Around 80% of Tamang people identify as Buddhists. The language they speak at home, Tamang, is a member of the Tibeto-Burman family. 75% of Gurung's lexical elements are shared by it.
Damphu and Cello are nicknames for the Tamang people. Irony, sarcasm, joy, and grief are all expressed in cello music. It moves and has a rhythmic pulse unique to the Tamang. Sonam Lhochhar, the principal Tamang holiday, is observed in Magh (February–March). It celebrates the Tamang New Year.
Another reason people make the trek to the Langtang region is to see the famed Gosainkunda Lake. The lake at the peak of the hill freezes over in the winter. It's wonderful to see so many hikers using the lake to skate.
That is the most attractive aspect of the Langtang region. In total, there are 108 lakes and ponds in the vicinity. Saraswati Kunda, Bhairab Kunda, Surya Kunda, Naga Kunda, and Gosainkunda are the most intriguing and well-known lakes.
Additionally, believers of both Buddhism and Hinduism honor the pristine Lake Gosainkunda on specific days. The Langtang Tamang Heritage Trek is also the best method to learn about the festivals, culture, and religion of the Langtang Valley.
Travellers can expect some light physical activities.
Narayan Baniya (nature pathfinder) and Sumir Gyawali (yoga teacher) guide me in this adventure. Actually they manage perfectly my short time and all the noisy burocratic thinks like documents or Covid control. They makes me feel safely and had care of me since the moment I reserved .. now I’m at home and still feel the power of their experience, friendship and good nature. They makes me “enter” in the Nepali lifestyle, from metropolitan Kathmandu until the top of the mountain were the vibes are soo deep. Their good vibes are compatible with all, Sumir had a clinical yogi eye and Narayan the calm you need to arrive over the clouds.. it was like a day dreaming and I never forget this experience out of time. Thank you Antonio
A great & well organised experience. I highly recommend Himalayan recreation to anyone planning to trek to the Annapurna Basecamp. Everything from start to finish was all taken care of, taking away all of the stress of organisation so that I could focus on enjoying the trek. Ashok was very responsive on whatsapp at all times and was able to adapt the tour when circumstances changed. For example, when my flight to Pokhara was cancelled, Ashok arranged for a friendly driver to take me all the way there by private car instead (I did have to wait 1.5 hours for the driver, but traffic in Kathmandu is difficult). My guide Santosh and porter Bal were very friendly and accommodating and were good company during the trek. They have the English skills required to answer the majority of questions, particularly relating to the trek. Overall, a very good experience. The trek itself is very beautiful. It has everything, including rural villages with rice terraces, bamboo forests, and epic mountains. The accommodation is basic but everything you need for a trek (much better than camping). The weather forecast is inaccurate - I enjoyed decent weather despite the forecast being constant rain/thunder. I found the difficulty to be much easier than others state, and could have completed the trek in 5-6 days. Almost anyone with a decent level of fitness would be able to complete this trek (adjusting the duration to accommodate).
The Annupurna Poon Hill Trip is a lovely trek through the lower elevations of the Annupurna range of the Himalayas. Starting from Pokhara, a 90 minute drive in a taxi drops us off at the beginning of the trek and then goes up from there. My guide, Raj, was absolutely awesome and provided a lot of great information about the area during our trek over the several days that this trek takes place. The second day of the climb takes us to the small town of Ghorepani, and then an early climb the next morning to Poon Hill. I went on this trip in the 2nd year of the virus. According to my guide, the number of travelers was still way down from pre-pandemic years. So, in one way, it is a great time to travel since you will have most of the trails to yourself. The tea houses are also pretty empty. The negative side to this is that there are limited menu items and several places didn't have WiFi. There are a few recommendations I would make about this trip. The first is the ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara. I took the bus and regretted it about halfway there. While the distance is only 200 km, it took about 8 hours on the bus. If I were to do this again, I would have opted for a 30 minute flight. It costs more, but is so worth it. Second, make sure you bring toilet paper with you on the trek. The tea houses I stayed in during my trek didn't have any. So, bringing a roll of your own is a huge help. And speaking of bathrooms, most of the toilets along the route are not the western style sit-down toilets. Rather they are the hole in the grounds. So, make sure to use the bathroom before leaving the tea house since the next western-style toilet isn't until the next guest house, which could be a half day hike away. Finally, if you have time after the trek, spend an extra day in Pokhara. It is much more interesting than Kathmandu. Otherwise, the trek was wonderful and the folks at Himalayan Recreation did a great job in staying in touch, picking me up at the airport when I arrived in Nepal, and provided excellent service all the way through.
This trip was the first we took with those guys. It was very nice, guide was interesting and gave us a lot information about Bhaktapur and Nepal itself. After they arranged few more trips for us. First was Chitwan national park and jeep safari. After Pokhara and paragliding. And then return to Kathmandu. It was very helpful to have someone local there who can arrange flights, pick ups, all the activities and return wherever needed. We didn't have more time, but all the time we had, they managed to organize for us, without stressing or worrying. I truly recommend them, because they are very responsible and helpful for any situation. I firstly met them in Kathmandu for our first trip and they helped us with all the others.
