Langtang Circuit Trek is a professionally designed adventurous package that allows you to explore the irresistible beauty of the Langtang region with an overnight stay at picturesque Langtang village and a visit to sacred Gosaikunda Lake.

This circuit trek is a fantastic alternative to the well-known Annapurna Circuit Trek. The trail is challenging, passes through beautiful communities, leads to the sacred Gosaikunda Lake, and traverses the Lauribinayak Pass (4,610 m). We've also included the Helambu region's pristine paths in the trek. During the journey, you will witness Tamang and Sherpa’s culture and lifestyle.

The Langtang trek is an adventurous venture near the Tibetan border and a remote valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Trekking through lush forests of rhododendron, oak, pine, and larch, the trail gradually ascends to the glacier alpine zone. You reach the holy Gosaikunda Lake, where you might get to see pilgrims from all over the world. The trail then further ascends to Lauribinayak La from where you get to see wonderful views of numerous Himalayan mountains.

The trek also combines the two valleys of Langtang and Helambu within the circuit, which are protected by the Langtang National Park. In ancient times, Helambu Valley was known as Yalmoganriwa, while, now it is known as Yalmo in their local language, which means the encasement of snowcapped mountains is in Helmo Valley. The unrivalled Himalayan scenery on the outskirts of Tibet, as well as the cloisters, make a tour of the region an unforgettable experience. The Langtang round trek is one of the most diverse, with verdant rhododendron and bamboo woodlands, majestic cascades, and the snow-capped Himalayas.

The Langtang circuit trekking trail in the circuit passes through Langtang National Park which is home to hundreds of flora and fauna. As you walk along with lush forests of rhododendron and bamboo, you might get to see rare wildlife like red pandas, monkeys, deers, etc. Geographically close to the Tibet border, you get to experience the culture and tradition similar to Tibetans.

Unlike the crowded and commercialized treks in the Annapurna and Everest regions, trekking in the Langtang region is unique and quite pleasurable. The Circuit Trekking in Langtang is also an ideal route for travelers wishing for a tranquil trek in the Himalayas, as the region sees fewer tourists each year. This journey, which takes about 13-days, is great for those looking for a calm atmosphere to make the journey in.

Similarly, there are high mountain cheese manufacturers in this region. You can visit the factory and sample some delicious cheese. There are many things to see and do in this region, and Outfitter Nepal will take you to all of the circuit trek's hidden gems.

Langtang region after the 2015 Nepal Earthquake

The April 2015 Nepal earthquake devastated many homes and lives. Langtang Village, located right at the route in the circuit trek, was one of the worst-affected areas in the disaster zones. As a result of the accident, nearly all of the guesthouses were demolished, and certain sections of the walk were devastated. The area was also closed to trekkers for a long time.

The good news is that trekking in the area is once again permitted. The majority of the guesthouses are undergoing renovations at the moment. You might have to sleep in a tented camp if you can't acquire a room at one of the few guesthouses.

The trek routes that were destroyed in the earthquake have been rebuilt on a new path. You wouldn't have to be concerned about your well-being! The trek continues to be as wonderful as it always has been. Trekking to Langtang will contribute to the region's reconstruction. Your recreation will make a significant contribution to the local community's economic development.

Walk among Nepal’s wildlife on the trail encompassing Langtang National Park

Most of the trail goes through Langtang National Park, which is located north of Kathmandu. This national park is a gem of the Langtang region. Langtang National Park boasts tropical to alpine forests that are home to numerous species of plants and animals.

As per recent data 1043 species of vascular plants, 46 species of mammals, 30 species of fishes, 345 species of birds, and 70 species of butterflies are found in the park.

Animals like Himalayan tahr, black bear, dzo, red panda, musk deer, snow leopards, monkeys, etc. can be found in the Langtang National Park. Along with that, you can see trees like blue pine, sal, laurel, rhododendron, Castanopsis Indica, Larix Nepalensis, R. Lowndesii, etc.

The natural jewel of the Langtang region, Langtang National Park is home to a diverse mix of flora and fauna. Tropical and alpine forests coexist in this national park. Inside the park, you'll observe a wide range of landscapes as well as numerous Himalayan mountains such as Yala Peak, Langtang Lirung, Gangchhempo, and others.

Landscape and Mountain Views of Langtang Region

Langtang region presents views unlike any other region of Nepal. You will get to see wonderful Himalayan scenery throughout the journey. Dense forests, lakes, fine villages, and deep valleys enhance the beauty of the Langtang region. On top of that, the glistening view of the Himalayas adds more beauty to the region. You can see Himalayan Mountains like Langtang Lirung, Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Ganesh, Mt. Himalchuli, Yala Peak, Ghangchhempo, Morimoto Peak, etc.

Langtang National Park is a natural wonder tucked in the Himalayan Mountains. This region contains some of Nepal's most scenic treks. Plan a trip to Kathmandu to partake in one of the world's most tempting trekking adventures and dramatic wildlife encounters. The national park was established in 1976 to save the region's unique flora and animals. With our circuit trekking package for Langtang, you can see the wonders of wilderness!

Immerse in the glory of rich Tamang heritage and culture in Langtang

During the trek, you will see many villages and settlement sites, including Syabrubeshi, Langtang Village, Thulo Syabru, and others. These areas are home to indigenous Gurung and Sherpa and Tamang tribes. They are kind and friendly, and visitors to their communities are treated with the utmost respect. You will also be able to learn about their culture and way of life on your trip.

The Tamang people are the native to the Langtang region. The trail passes through numerous Tamang villages, allowing you to learn about the Tamang people's rich culture, traditions, and way of life. They are believed to be Tibetan descendants, therefore if you are familiar with Tibetan culture, you will notice many parallels.

Kyanjin Gompa and why it’s the best place!

Kyanjin Gompa is situated at the foothill of three huge mountains, Langtang Lirung (7,227 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), and Langshisha Ri (6,427 m). This gompa is one of the ancient heritage sites of the Langtang region and has huge religious significance to Hindus & Buddhists.

Kyanjin Gompa is a Buddhist pilgrimage site and one of the region's most prominent monasteries. The entire territory is known by its name, though it is bounded by a small settlement. Trekkers often stop here for a day to adjust to the higher altitude and prevent becoming sick. The gompa is a great place to learn about Buddhist culture and Buddhism.

Furthermore, the most sacred gompa in this region, Kyanjin Gompa, is located on the slopes of Mt. Langtang Lirung and is considered to be 400 years old.

Tsergo Ri

Tsergo Ri is one of the very famous viewpoints of the Langtang region. Travellers usually go on this viewpoint for a short excursion during their rest day. The top offers an excellent view of the surrounding landscape, glaciers, moraines, and snow-capped mountains.

Tsergo Ri is the highest point reached during the 13 days Circuit Trek. It's a well-known landmark from where you may obtain a great view of the surrounding environment. You'll also be treated to spectacular vistas of moraines, glaciers, and the Himalayan Mountains.

The hike to Tsergo Ri starts in Kyanjin Gompa, a village at 3,800 meters above sea level. Tsergo Ri, located at an elevation of 5,000 meters above sea level in Nepal's Langtang National Park, is one of the must-see attractions. Other than the local teahouses and lodges, there are no other water sources. Thus, on your trip to Tsergo Ri, you'll need to bring enough water and food. It's roughly a 4-hour hike from Kyanjin Gompa.

Gosaikunda Lake

Many tourists from all over the world, as well as people from within the country, visit Gosainkunda. It is widely considered to be one of Nepal's most beautiful lakes. While most Nepalese travel for religious reasons, foreigners visit because it is a well-known tourism attraction.

The Gosaikunda area is significant in Nepali culture since it is regarded as a holy shrine. According to a Hindu Legend, Gosaikunda is the Hindu deity of Gauri's and Lord Shiva's dwelling. Several Hindu texts, including the Vishnu Puran, Ramayana, Bhagwat Puran, and Mahabharata, mention Samudra Manthan, which has a direct link to the genesis of Gosaikunda.

The water of this lake has greater significance during the Hindu festival of Janai Purnima than on other days. It is considered sacred throughout the year. During the Janai Purnima, thousands of pilgrims from India and Nepal visit this temple. People also believe that Gosaikunda was created when Lord Shiva ingested poison and thrust his holy Trident (Trishul) into the mountain. He needed to cool down his scorching throat, so he went to the mountain and got some water.

Lauribinayak Pass

The speciality of doing a circuit trek in Langtang is that you get to pass through the famous Lauribinayak Pass. At 4,610m, Lauribinayak La Pass is one of the most famous features in the Langtang region. You will be rewarded with spectacular views of Langtang Lirung (7,234m), Ganesh Himal (7,422m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966m), Manaslu (8,156m), Himal Chuli (7,893m), and Gosainkunda as you reach the pass (4,360m). If the weather is clear, you might be able to glimpse some Tibetan mountains.

The circuit trek normally includes this pass, which is the highest point on the trek. After passing the holy lake of Gosainkunda, you'll arrive at this pass. You enter the Helambu region after passing the Lauribinayak La Pass and travel towards Melamchi Valley. It is comparatively shorter and easier than other mountain passes in the country.

Questions you might raise before you start your Langtang Trek with us!

The Langtang trek is a fairly strenuous excursion that can be done as a tea house trek or as a camping trek.

You'll be able to enjoy the stroll without putting too much effort into your body if you're in decent physical form. Prepare your body a few weeks ahead of time for the trek. Take a city walking tour, read up on how to be in shape for trekking, keep to a regular workout program, have regular core building exercises or maybe take up dancing!

The 16-day circuit trek to the Langtang region offered by Outfitter Nepal is fully customizable and can be changed to meet your exact requirements. If you want to change the circuit trek's itinerary to include fewer or more days, we can build a flexible plan for you. We can even arrange for a foot trek to the end destination, followed by a helicopter flight back to Kathmandu.

Our standard package takes you to the Langtang circuit for 16 days, but it can be customized to suit your needs! A sightseeing excursion can also be arranged before or after your trekking adventure. Please note that by adding more travel days, the length of the days in the itinerary package must be extended! If you want to visit additional tourist destinations like Pokhara or Chitwan or stay in Kathmandu for a few days to enjoy the sights, the regular package's days must be extended from 16 to any number of days you choose!

If you want to extend your trip to Nepal, we recommend having a few days on hand! The cost varies depending on the modifications made to our basic 16-day Langtang Trek package. Outfitter Nepal, on the other hand, ensures that you get the greatest value possible!
