Description

Join us for a fantastic trek to the Langtang valley, the “valley of glaciers”. Over these 15 days you will walk up and down fantastic landscapes and beautiful traditional villages north of Kathmandu, Nepal.

To begin this program, we will pick you up at the Kathmandu International Airport. We will then spend a full day touring around the main World Heritage Sites of the Nepalese capital city. As from day 3 of the program, we will drive along the north-western hills of Kathmandu towards Syabru Besi, across Trishuli Bazaar and Dhunche. On day 4, the trekking experience will begin!

Along the trekking program, you will visit wonderful Tibetan villages like the Langtang (3,500 m), Kyangjin Gompa (3,800 m) and Thulo Syabhru (2,260 m).

Along the trek you will also be able to enjoy views of the impressive peaks in this area, like Dorje Larpa, Langtang Ri, Langtang Lirung and Yala Peak, Ganesh Himal and Langtang Himal.

One of the main highlights of this program is the trek along the view of a dozen lakes in the Gosainkunda basin, including Sarawasti Kunda, Bhairabh Kund, and Gosainkund. This last lake is said to host a fabled black rock at its center, believed to be the head of the Hindu god Shiva.

For accommodation, we will spend the nights at lodges and guesthouses at the villages, which is a beautiful experience in its own.

Have a look at the detailed itinerary below.

On this program, you will be guided by a certified mountain guide from the GuideSource team. At GuideSource, we are proud of our over 35-year experience, and zero serious or fatal accidents.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
