The Langtang Valley Trek is an adventure journey through one of Nepal’s most scenic and culturally rich regions in the shadow of the towering Himalayas. The trek begins with a scenic drive to Syabrubesi from Kathmandu, the gateway to the Langtang region. From here, trekkers embark on a trail that winds through lush forests, terraced fields, and traditional Tamang villages, offering glimpses into the local way of life.

Here, trekkers can explore the ancient monastery, interact with local monks, and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayas. Trekkers can also hike to the spectacular Kyanjin Ri viewpoint, offering unparalleled vistas of the Langtang Himalayas.
After immersing themselves in the Langtang Valley’s natural beauty and cultural richness, trekkers retrace their steps back to Syabrubesi, concluding their journey with a sense of fulfillment and appreciation for the wonders of the Himalayas.

The Langtang Valley Trek is considered a moderate to difficult trek, It involves walking for several hours every day over varied terrain and at high altitudes. While no technical climbing is required, trekkers should be prepared for steep ascents and descents, rocky trails, and changes in weather conditions.
The best time to trek Langtang Valley is during the pre-monsoon (spring) season from March to May and the post-monsoon (autumn) season from September to December. These periods offer stable weather, clear skies, and favorable trekking conditions.
While an average level of fitness is recommended, Some training and hiking preparation is advisable to ensure physical fitness for the demands of the trek.
Above 3000m, there is a chance to get altitude sickness issues in Nepal. So, Trekkers should ascend gradually, stay hydrated, and recognize the symptoms of altitude sickness. Never push hard, be honest, and don’t lie if symptoms get worse better back down to a lower elevation
Accommodations along the trek are basic but comfortable with facilities such as hot showers, battery charging, and WiFi, most of the trekkers find delicious food along the trail, with different meal options. As Langtang Trek is getting commercial year by year, food and accommodation facilities are getting better throughout the trek.
While it’s possible to trek independently, many trekkers opt to hire a guide or porter for added support, safety, and convenience. Guides can provide valuable insights and assistance, while porters can help carry trekking gear and luggage, reducing physical strain.
Essential items to pack include sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing, a good-quality sleeping bag, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a first aid kit. It’s important to pack light but ensure you have all the necessary gear for the trek. Contact us for more info
This is my first time hiking at Nepal. Sali and his team took good care of our team.
They have good experiences on mountain hikes and ya, engage them if you are planning to trek in Nepal! 😎
We went for the Langtang Valley trek which is about a week long. Sali and his porters really took great care of us. Sali was very attentive and always looking out for us. And he took great photos and videos! The entire trip from our stay in Kathmandu to the end of the trek was very well planned.
Highly recommended!
I had a GREAT experience with Mountain World Trek a.k.a. Sali Trekking with the gude SANDIP ARYAL.
I was a solo trekker in October 2022 and wanted to do an easy/medium trek in a less touristic area, yet still close to Kathmandu. My physical condition and trekking gear are very good but my preparation was not excellent, hence I decided to hire a guide.
The contact with Sali was informal and quick and he got me in contact with Sandip. We had a quick meeting in Kathmandu to talk about details and getting to know each other, and off we went the next day to Langtang Valley.
Sandip knew the route, the villages, and the accomodation options very well. He would find the best guest house according to my wishes and negotiate the price on my behalf. On the fourth day we managed to reach the peak of Tsergo Ri (ca 5000 m altitude) easily although I recommend you start early in the day from Kyanjin Gompa (before 7 am!).
I always felt safe and in good hands with Sandip. “Safety first,” he always said. Beside, Sandip is a fun and nice person to be around, which was especially appreciated as a solo traveller. I know he can also manage large groups with his excellent organisation skills.
SANDIP was an EXCELLENT guide and companion. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any trek in Nepal.
Final note: As a visitor of Nepal, please remember that guides and porters are hard working people and depend on visitors like ourselves for their income. Do not forget to tip them appropriately on top of the agreed daily rate!

Did this trek in April 2014. Saligram looked after me from day one until I arrived at the airport for my return flight. Hotel and local travel arrangements were perfect and the trek was excellent(my legs did not always agree- its an age thing). This was my second experience with Saligram and you will not be disappointed with the service provided.
