Trip Includes/Exclude

How Difficult is the Langtang Valley Trek?

Langtang Valley Trek is not that difficult. As I have mentioned earlier, this Trek is moderately difficult. There are enough places for proper accommodation and food. There are no confusing trails or tough terrains.

But this Trek is not easy as well. Even though you do not gain as much altitude as the Everest region, the highest point in this Trekking route hits the 5000m mark.

Is Langtang Valley Trek technical?

The answer is no. This Trekking is not technical at all. One does not need any mountaineering skills or rock climbing techniques to complete this Trek. And you do not need any mountaineering gears as well.

What this Trekking does need is a will to travel, and a passion for exploring remote places.

Does this Trek need Trekking Experiences?

Again, the answer is no. You do not need any Trekking experiences to complete the Langtang Valley Trek. This Trek is ideal for both beginners and professionals. You can start with this Trekking and gain exposure for other harder Treks.

Best Time to Travel

As for the propitious seasons to carry out the trekking in the Lantang Region, the suggestable time would be September to November and March to May. During these times, the visit will be showered with the arcane beauty of the nature and the outstanding landscape views. To avoid the traffic, you can choose any of the times from December to February. It is also to be informed that during the winter the temperature here goes down low that poses challenges to the travelers. Except for botanists, the trekking in this region in monsoon or summer that is from June to August can be impacted by the rain.
