Physical fitness is a key element for high-altitude treks like Langtang Valley and is a must. Without decent physical fitness, you'll be unable to trek well, develop fatigue, and even get altitude sickness.

You'll walk for 5-6 hours, covering at least 10 km every day for seven days.

Thus, to walk this distance and hours, you must have proper endurance, physically and mentally. Moreover, you'll be over 4,300 meters altitude, which, without physical fitness, is a mere possibility.

As physical fitness is a must for this trek, there are many ways you can work on to improve it.

The most significant and helpful exercises are those that involve cardio. These exercises support effective breathing, the most essential element while trekking.

-  Cycling

-  Swimming

-  Jogging and running (treadmill)

-  Hiking (at least twice)

Note: We recommend you train with these exercises two months (at least) prior to the trek's start date. With ample training, you'll be fit for the trek.

NepTrek Adventures follows every safety measure to ensure your utmost safety throughout the trek. Here is a brief overview of our effective safety measures:

-  We employ experienced trekking guides with first-aid responder training certificates.

-  A complete first aid kit with pulse oximeter

-  Arrange horse riding during moderate altitude sickness for rapid descend

-  Helicopter evacuation during emergencies, including the health emergency

Our priority will always be trekking slowly, adequate acclimatization, rehydration, and eating healthy meals. Doing these, you'll avoid altitude sickness. However, at times, even with precautions, you may get altitude sickness. And, for such instances, we have safety precautions.

Foremost, the trek guide will assess your situation regarding the altitude sickness. If your symptoms are minor, with some rest, you'll resume the trek. However, with moderate and severe altitude sickness, you'll be taken on a helicopter or a horseback ride.

Since there are no hospitals or health clinics in Langtang, the situation assessment and decision by the trek guide will be the final.

Thus, we highly recommend that you get travel insurance with helicopter search and rescue coverage.

No. There's no acclimatisation day on this trek. Even with no acclimation, you can complete this trek without getting altitude sickness. However, if you want to stop for acclimatization, you can stop at Langtang Village or Kyanjin Gompa.

Why no acclimatization? Kyanjin Gompa, the last human settlement in Langtang Valley, sits at 3,870 meters. To reach here, you'll trek for three days. Hence, three days to hike to this altitude doesn't require acclimatization.

Moreover, you'll trek for three hours to Kyanjin Gompa from Langtang Village. And during the evening, you'll hike to Kyanjin Ri's lower peak. Hiking up to Kyanjin Ri is safe and free from altitude sickness. Moreover, if you plan to hike to Tsergo Ri the next day, the evening hike to Kyanjin Ri acts as acclimatization.

Hence, you don't need to acclimate during the Langtang Trek.

We don't provide a porter for individual trekker at the trip cost we mentioned here, which is USD 850. However, if you're willing to pay an additional USD 150, we'll provide you with a trek porter for the trek

The porter carries your backpack, personal stuff, and accompanies you throughout the trek.

You'll get an experienced trek guide who's guided trekkers to Langtang Valley multiple times. Moreover, you'll get a trek guide with years of high-altitude guiding experience.

At NepTrek Adventures, we employ experienced trekking guides with years of guiding experience. Moreover, our guides are the utmost professionals and are Nepal government licensed.

Yes. Tipping your trek guide and porter is a must. Trekkers usually tip at least 10% of the total trek cost to the guide and porter, combined.

Tipping your trek guide and porter is a way of showing 'gratitude and thank you.'

Spring (March-May)

Everyone enjoys trekking to Langtang Valley in the spring because it's one of the best times to do so. Why? The weather and temperature turn out to be ideal for the journey.

The blue skies, rhododendron blossoms, and snow-filled Langtang mountains make the trek the best. Also, it doesn't rain in March and April, which lets trekkers trek all day in pleasing weather.

Despite lower regions being warm, high-altitude places like Langtang and Kyanjin remain cold and freezing. The daytime temperature averages 6-7˚C, and the nighttime temperature remains below 0˚C.

Autumn (September-November)

The clear days with greenery and snow-capped mountains make autumn another great time to trek to Langtang Valley. From late September, trekkers start to flock in for this amazing trek.

With the summer rain, even Kyajnin Gompa turns lively green. The warm temperature, clear skies, and beautiful panorama make autumn a busy time for this trek.

In the autumn, Langtang and Kyanjin Gompa remain very cold. The daytime temperature in higher regions averages 3–4 °C. Likewise, the nighttime temperature averages -5 °C in September and -15 °C in November.

Summer (June-August)

The summer months, from June to August, are hot, humid, and rainy. As a result, not many hikers plan the Langtang Valley Trek in these months. However, the summer trek is exciting due to the greenery, fresh outlook, and mountains.

The average temperature in these months is 10 °C at Kyanjin Gompa and Langtang Valley. The lower regions, however, remain very humid.

Due to rain, leeches, and overcast, we don't recommend you trek to Langtang in the summer months.

Winter (December-February)

December to February are the coldest months in Nepal. Hence, high-altitude trekking often gets challenging due to the drop in temperature. However, with proper clothing and gear, you can do this trek.

The entire Langtang Valley becomes a winter wonderland. However, it freezes the entire landscape with a temperature drop of -20 ˚C. Even the daytime remains freezing with an average temperature of -3˚C.

A sleeping bag of at least 10˚C rating is advised but not mandatory for Langtang Valley Trek. However, it's always better to sleep nicely and warm inside a sleeping bag than just a pair of blankets over the bed.

A sleeping bag keeps you warm throughout the trek. Also, during the trekking season, you may not get multiple blankets. Thus, at such times, a sleeping bag keeps you warm all night.

Yes. You can either refill the running taps with cold water or buy boiled drinking water at the tea houses.

We recommend you bring chlorine tablets if you prefer cold drinking water with additional purification. You can also bring a built-in filter bottle for safe drinking water.

You can also purchase mineral water bottles at every tea house. However, each bottle can cost up to USD 3-5.

Usually, the tea houses have and provide twin-sharing rooms with attached bathrooms for accommodation. However, based on availability, on request, you may get a twin-sharing room.

Note: During trekking season, the tea houses often get busy and occupied. Hence, at that time, you may not get a private room. But we'll try our best to get you a private room when it becomes available.

Yes. You're required to carry Nepali currency to pay for personal expenses. Your personal expenses may include mineral water, hot water showers, wifi, cold drinks, extra tea or coffee, a horse ride, tipping trek guides and porters, and so on.

We recommend that you carry Nepali currency and withdraw money in Kathmandu or Syabrubesi. There aren't any ATMs on the trek, and the tea houses won't accept credit card payments.

Sure!

If you want to extend your Langtang Valley Trek, we recommend you Gosaikunda Trek, which is in the Langtang region. It takes 2-3 additional days to complete the trek and reach Dhunche.

As you return from Kyanjin Gompa, you'll reach Pairo, 6 km before Syabrubesi. From Pairo, instead of walking to Syabrubesi, you'll take the left turn and ascend to Thulo Syabru and Cholangpati.

Here's how the itinerary works:

• Trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel. Overnight at Lama Hotel
• Trek from Lama Hotel to Pairo and ascend to Thulo Syabru.
• Trek from Thulo Syabru to Lauribinayak.
• Trek from Lauribinayak to Gosaikunda Lake. Trek down to Deurali/Dhunche.
• Trek to Dhunche for two hours from Deurali. Drive to Kathmandu.

Note: Instead of considering the trip extension, we recommend that you embark on the 10-day Langtang Gosaikunda Trek.

We have expansive choices of luxury, budget, and best tours you can embark on. Our tour includes the natural experience, wildlife safari trips, cultural and historical site visits, adventure sports, and more.

If you prefer wildlife and luxury, we have a 2-night 3-day Chitwan Jungle Safari Tour.
