Essential Information

Here we provided some additional information about the Langtang Valley trek that can be useful to make your trekking experiences even more wonderful.

Langtang Valley Trek Difficulty level

The Langtang Valley Trek is one of the shortest treks in Nepal. The Langtang trek is considered as a moderately difficult trek. However, it involves some challenges and difficult factors like high altitude trekking. This amazing adventure is not that difficult, but it doesn't mean that this trek is like walking in the garden. You will reach an altitude of 5000 meters which is a little challenging, and Altitude sickness is common during any high altitude sickness. The route covers a gradual ascent in rocky paths. 

Altitude Sickness 

Altitude Sickness is a condition that occurs when you trek in the high Himalayas. It is obvious that you will gain altitude once you start trekking which can cause altitude sickness. But the Langtang Valley trek doesn't bring you to the highest altitudes like the Everest region.

Symptoms: Feeling exhausted, headache, breathing problems, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, insomnia, etc.

Preventive measures: Climb slowly, take proper rest days, drink enough water, stay hydrated, and have a positive mindset. Avoid alcohol, smoke, caffeine, and junk foods, and follow your guide.

Travel Insurance

Langtang Valley trek is a high altitude trek that comes with some difficulties. However, the Langtang Valley Trek travel insurance is not compulsory for anyone, we strongly advise you to obtain the insurance that will protect you if anything bad happens. Make sure your insurance policy covers up to 6000 meters high altitudes including emergency helicopter rescue, accidental damage, theft, and medical bills. You need to submit a copy of your travel insurance policy to adventure hikers before starting the trek.

Permits for Langtang Valley Trek

To visit the wonderland of Langtang Valley you will need to obtain two permits and they are:

  • Langtang National Park entrance fee.
  • Trekkers Information Management System TIMS card.

The Langtang National Park permit costs NPR 3000 and the TIMS card costs NPR 2000. Both of the permits can be acquired from Dhunche.

The Best Time for Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trekking is possible throughout the year. However, Spring and Autumn are the peak seasons for the Langtang trek. The weather in these seasons is best for hiking. Likewise, Summer and winter seasons are considered off-season for trekking in Nepal. The weather and trekking trail is disturbed due to natural calamities during this time. 

Spring season (March to May)

Spring is one of the best times to do the Langtang trek. During this time, the weather is favorable and you can enjoy the amazing view of Langtang Lirung, and other spectacular mountain ranges. You will be blessed enough to witness Rhododendron forests consisting of six different colors of flowers. You will experience a slow range of snowfall in the upper parts.

Autumn season (September to November)

 Autumn is another perfect time for Langtang Valley Trek. The perfect weather conditions with clear blue sky with the magnificent mountain views can be observed during this time. The entire village and surroundings looks very charming. The temperature gets a little warm during the day and a bit cold at night, offering an amazing experience.

Summer season (June to August)

Summer is the monsoon time in Nepal so it is considered as not a good time for trekking. The temperature rises to a high level and heavy rain causes landslides and floods which makes traveling difficult. But, nature including waterfalls, rivers, streams, and foliage are in the most stunning phase.

Winter season (December to February)

In the winter season, the temperature falls down to minus and the trekking trails are covered with snow which makes the hiking difficult. However, the village and surrounding looks like a winter wonderland and presents jaw-dropping mountain views along with frozen vegetation and landscapes.

Accommodation and Meals During The Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang Valley Trekking route has several tea houses and guest houses providing basic but comfortable accommodation managed by the locals. Tea houses provide both accommodation and meals. You will get normal but comfortable rooms with two single beds and separate bathrooms. 

In terms of food on the trek, you always eat at your guest house and you can expect the menu to be pretty similar everywhere you stay. Breakfast options are usually porridge, eggs, pancakes, chapati, or Tibetan bread with toppings like honey, jam, peanut butter, chocolate sauce, apples or yak cheese. Lunch dinner options include Nepali classics like Dal Bhat which is basically rice, vegetables, lentils, pickle, spinach, and papad.

And one of the best things about this dish is that you get free refills unlimited on everything. A whole load of non-Nepali dishes like pasta, fried rice, spaghetti, instant ramen, and pizza is available on the menu. Drinking alcoholic products on high altitudes makes the acclimatization more difficult. For drinking water, the best option is to take a refillable water bottle and some sort of water purification tablet/drop.
