Langtang Valley Short Trek

Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trek, as its name sounds, takes place in the valley that lies close to Kathmandu. That’s why it is easy for a trekking company to refer this trek to the trekkers who want to do one of the shortest and easiest treks of Nepal within their desired time frame. Langtang Valley Trek is only 7 days, but to complete this trek, you will need 9 days, and we all know that our office gives us 2 weeks of paid vacation every year. How close is the valley of Langtang is a question whose answer you want to know in the quickest manner possible? Because we all know that you are excited to do this trek so that you can have enough time on your list to complete your remaining work. Please do check the itinerary of Langtang Valley Trek given below to align with your vacation, but you can confirm your booking with Travel Max Guide now, even if you are thinking of trekking after 2 years or 3 years.

To reach the starting point of Langtang Valley Trek, you will need 7 hours from Kathmandu. This might sound a lot to you when you compare it with Kathmandu-Lukla flight duration.

As you are driving to the starting point, you will find your driver becoming very careful. You will also find the hilly road dangerous, and you will not believe that you are in this part of the world that is completely different from yours.

After you get off the bus, you will head to the pass covered with snow, looking at the map of Langtang Valley. When you enter the valley, you will see the snow-covered mountains. Then, you will realize that you really don’t have to do a hard trek to see the beautiful mountains in Nepal. 

The ongoing trekking trail takes you to the ridge and to the point from where you will see the river flowing below, and the view becomes once in a blue moon experience to the people, especially those living in a city.

You will be walking in a trekking trail alone because most of the trekkers are heading to the Everest or Annapurna region because they think these are only the gems of Nepal. But when you are trekking in the Langtang region, you are helping the people of this region by staying in their lodges and by having food cooked by them. This region was highly devasted by the earthquake in 2015 with a magnitude of 7.5, and it was one of the origin points of the earthquake.

The trekking trail also takes you to a green forest that you have ever seen in your life, including an untouched meadow and a viewpoint. You will also be walking in a yak pasture, and the viewpoint perched on the top of a hill shows you a 360-degree view of mountains, which is the most rewarding moment of your Langtang Valley Trek.

The beauties of the mountains with their unparalleled features will make you breathless, and they will compel you to fix your eyes not only once but also till you finish your trek.

In your country, you might have trekked in different places, but it is also true that you rarely ascend to an altitude of 4000 m, and if you want to ascend to this altitude, then Langtang Valley Trek is an easy way to reach such an altitude without being affected by Altitude Mountain Sickness.

When it comes to accommodation in Kathmandu, you will find Travel Max Guide, the trekking company, also the synonyms to affordability and fine service in both hotel and homestay in the Langtang region

In Kathmandu, you are going to stay at the 3-star category hotel (Value). During the trekking, you will be spending your nights in a tea house. Actually, the tea house is a lodge or a guest house. The tea house is an old name that the trekking agency use for a lodge, and they have been using it for more than 40 years. After all, it used to sell only tea then. Now, they also sell meals and provide bedrooms for the trekkers and climbers. Hence, the name tea house trek is used. Tea house differs from village to village where you will be spending your nights. Some have attached bathrooms and running water, while others have only basic facilities, that is, you have to share a toilet and a bathroom with others. This is so because they are located at a high altitude and the remotest area. Some of them provide dormitory-style accommodation with a bed, a pillow, a blanket, and a bedsheet still, Travel Max Guide suggests you bring your own sleeping bag.

Walk miles for a good cause

Travel Max Guide is the inception of the First Act Nepal (FAN). Our team is working for a good cause. That might be a good question- there are lots of organizations working for a social cause, but why we are adding the numbers. What might be the reason? The reason is simple; we do love to share what we have. We are strongly guided by the principal, “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself.” So we do it sincerely, honestly, and effectively.

Travel Max Guide donates a certain amount of its income to FAN. It’s a team working for the children of Nepal. Support for the Child Sponsorship Program is what Travel Max Guide would like to tell its clients. It’s just a small contribution to our children who are longing for love and support. If our small contribution can make things different, why not contribute to them. We are looking to build our communities bigger. So let’s share what we can do, let’s do what we are supposed to do from the religious point of view. Listen to your heart what these children are saying.

Volunteering opportunities

This topic is always a key point for us. And we are working on it too. If you are looking to do volunteer or engage in some kind of social work, then you can contact us.

Group trekking/ Single trekking

In a group trekking, normally, there will be a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 30. In the group trekking, there will be a trekking guide, one porter for every two trekkers, and an assistant trekking guide for 8 people. The company will run private trekking for you at your own time frame and requirements.

Some important information you should have before starting your trek

Carrying extra Nepali money helps you to fulfill your personal expenses during the trekking

Travel Max Guide pays for your accommodation and meals during the trek, including coffee and tea. But you should pay from your own pocket for beverages like beer and soft drinks. Tipping is expected by a trekking guide and a porter, and Travel Max Guide does not recommend how much you should tip? It is completely up to you how much you want to tip them.

How will be each of your trekking days in the Langtang Trekking Region?

With tea and coffee, you are going to start your day. After that you will have your breakfast, then you will be starting your trek from 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. Walking uphill and downhill, you will reach a village where you will be having your lunch. That time will be mid-day. On the way to the final destination, if you want, then Travel Max Guide will provide you tea and coffee, and you will be having your dinner in the lodge. It is also the place where you are going to stay for the night. 

Dinner will be served there between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Travel Max Guide needs 101% physical fitness from you for Langtang Valley Trek

If you have blood pressure, then you should bring your medicine; even if you don’t bring it, then you can buy it in Nepal. Besides this, if you don’t have confidence, then you should build it up by walking uphill and downhill. Since you live in a city, one of the most developed cities in the world, you should go for jogging at least one month before starting Langtang Valley Trek. Walking on the plain also builds up your confidence for trekking in the Langtang region. Along with this, you should have a positive attitude because you are going to one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world. Travel Max Guide is saying this because you will be in one of the remotest regions of the world which is 101% different from your highly developed country. But it is also the fact that the trekkers love the remoteness of the Langtang region by 102%.
