Questions and answers

How hard is the Langtang trek?

Moderate. Days are 5-7 hours with gradual altitude gain.

Is the helicopter guaranteed?

It depends on the weather. Keep a spare day.

What is the highest point?

Viewpoints reach about 4,700-5,000 m.

Do I need trekking experience?

No.

The Langtang trek follows a forested river valley into a world of yak pastures and glaciers. This version walks up over four days, uses a rest day for a viewpoint hike and then flies out from Kyanjin Gompa, saving the walk back to Syabrubesi.

It is a budget-friendly alternative to Everest and Annapurna and a good first Himalayan trek.
