The Langtang region in Nepal is one of the most beautiful and diverse corners of the Himalayas. Located to the north of Kathmandu, this area offers not only stunning views of the mountain peaks but also a rich culture, vibrant villages, and colorful flora and fauna. For nature lovers, adventurers, and cultural enthusiasts, Langtang is an irresistible destination. 

One of the biggest attractions in the Langtang region is the Langtang National Park, the second oldest national park in Nepal. The park protects vast areas of Himalayan wilderness, including dense mountain forests, valleys, glaciers, and alpine meadows. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including snow leopards, red pandas, and the endangered wild goat, the bharal. 

We will visit traditional villages and learn about the local culture and the way of life of the people who live in these remote mountain valleys. We will also explore Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples, which are an important part of the cultural heritage of the area. 

Langtang is also a popular destination for mountaineers. Peaks such as Langtang Lirung (7,227 m) and Yala Peak (5,520 m) offer challenges for experienced climbers, while less demanding ascents are suitable for beginners. 

We will undertake an easy 'summit' to Tserko Ri, from where we will enjoy a beautiful morning view of the Langtang Valley. There are also many accommodation options in the Langtang region. Tourists can find various types of lodging, from basic mountain huts to luxurious mountain hotels that offer comfort and hospitality. 

Overall, the Langtang region is one of the most beautiful and fascinating destinations in Nepal. It is a place where natural beauty meets rich culture, and where every visitor can find something for themselves. For those seeking adventure, tranquility, and spiritual fulfillment, Langtang is an unmissable destination on their travel adventures list. 

Trekking in Langtang is easy, representing an entry-level mountain trek in Nepal. Even tourists who are not very athletic will be able to manage it. 

After the trek, there is the option to spend a few days relaxing and going on a safari in Chitwan National Park.

Who is this trek for?

The Annapurna Circuit is not a difficult trek and should be manageable for anyone who moves at least a little and enjoys hiking. Trekking in the Himalayas is not that different in terms of difficulty from hiking in Slovakia. The pace of the trek is slow; acclimatization requires time and does not tolerate rushing. So you don’t need to worry about poor fitness. This trek is also suitable as an introductory trek in Nepal. You also don’t have to worry about mass tourism — our trekking groups are limited to a maximum of 9–10 participants. You can find more about trekking in Nepal in this article.

Travel documents and visas

When entering Nepal, it is necessary to have a valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity from the date of entry into the country. Visas are purchased at the airport upon arrival; the procedure only takes a few minutes. Visa fees:

14-day visa: 30 USD
30-day visa: 50 USD
90-day visa: 125 USD

Accomodation

Accommodation in Kathmandu is provided at the *** Hotel Marshyangdi in the Thamel district. Accommodation during the trek is in tourist guesthouses called lodges (teahouses), usually in double rooms with beds. It is necessary to have your own sleeping bag; at some accommodations, especially at lower altitudes, blankets are available and are generally of satisfactory cleanliness. 

In most cases, a shower is available for a small fee; however, do not expect the luxury of a European-style bathroom.

Air ticket

The tour price is generally without airfare; the flight ticket will be invoiced separately according to the current price at the time of purchase. We usually arrange the flights once the minimum number of participants has been reached. It is also possible to arrange your own flight ticket, provided that you are in the agreed destination (Kathmandu) on the specified day. There is also the option to extend your stay in Nepal as you wish, for example by visiting Chitwan National Park. 

The preferred departure airport is usually Vienna, but we can also оперативly find flight options from another departure point if needed. 

Airport pickup in Kathmandu is, of course, arranged by us. If you have specific comfort requirements (business class, a more premium airline, etc.), we are happy to accommodate them.

Transfers

The transfer to the airport in Vienna is not included in the price. All transfers in Nepal are generally included, from the moment of arrival to the final destination. Transportation within Nepal is arranged by private jeeps and vans. The quality of Nepali roads is not very good, so patience is required. It is also a way to see parts of the country beyond the trekking trails.

Food

Meals during the trek are not included in the price and depend on local availability. The diet mainly consists of rice, potatoes, vegetables, soups, eggs, and various flatbreads. However, it is very tasty. In some places, chicken or yak meat is available. Food prices for tourists have increased significantly in recent years; expect to pay between 3–8 EUR for a hot meal. Daily food and drink expenses can be estimated at around 30 EUR per day. You certainly won’t make a mistake if you bring a few pieces of vacuum-packed sausage or bacon from home to occasionally diversify your meals. Water in Kathmandu or other cities is not drinkable. During the trek, bottled or boiled water is available everywhere, either plain or in the form of various teas. Coca-Cola, Fanta, beer, and similar drinks are also widely available. You can learn more about Nepali food in this blog.

Safety

Nepal is generally an exceptionally safe country. Local people are almost without exception friendly and welcoming. The state security forces also usually do not cause any problems; however, it is advisable to follow their instructions if required. In the case of a necessary evacuation from the trek for medical reasons, commercial helicopters are available. We are able to arrange such an evacuation through insurance, so in this regard trekking in Nepal is relatively safe. 

There is also no significant danger from wild animals. When passing animal caravans of donkeys or yaks, it is important to be cautious and stand on the side of the trail facing the slope. Otherwise, a yak could accidentally push you off the trail into the valley.

Clima

During the main trekking seasons – spring and autumn – the weather in Nepal is usually relatively stable. Mornings and late mornings are almost always clear, while in the late afternoon there is a possibility of precipitation, especially in spring. In Kathmandu, temperatures often rise above 30 degrees Celsius. 

During the trek, it usually feels warm throughout the day, but after sunset - particularly at higher altitudes - it can cool down dramatically, and nighttime temperatures may drop below freezing.

Money

In Nepal, payments are made in Nepalese rupees. The approximate exchange rate is 1 EUR : 160 NPR. It is almost impossible to pay with euros in Nepal. We recommend bringing cash and exchanging it at currency exchange offices. Another option is to withdraw money from an ATM in Kathmandu, or possibly in Pokhara or Lukla. However, outside these places, you will not find an ATM.

Electricity, charging

Electrical sockets in Nepal are of various types, but in most cases European plugs can also be used. During the trek, electricity is available almost everywhere; however, in some higher-altitude areas where only solar panels are used, a fee may be charged for charging devices. You certainly won’t make a mistake if you bring a 20,000 mAh power bank with you.

Internet, calls

Roaming for EU SIM cards is currently available, but it is not cheap at all. In Kathmandu, it is possible to buy a local SIM card (Ncell, NTC), although in the mountains it will work only very limitedly. Internet access during the trek is available in the form of Wi-Fi in most lodges where we will be staying. The guide will carry a satellite device for emergency situations.

Guide

All our treks are led by mountain guides with an international UIMLA license. We will also be accompanied by a mandatory local licensed guide.

Insurance

Insurance covering evacuation and medical treatment is mandatory for all treks. We recommend OEAV Alpenverein: https://www.alpenverein.sk/ or commercial insurance.
