Overview of the Langtang Family Trek

Langtang family trek is one of the easiest and the best trek routes for you and your family if you are looking to go on a family trek in Nepal. The Langtang family trek goes to the Langtang valley to see one of the most spectacular views of the Himalayas located in the north of the Kathmandu valley. The Langtang trek is full of beautiful scenery, amazing and authentic local cultures, indigenous Tamang people and their lifestyles and the Langtang Himalayan range. Langtang family trek should be very good for you if you are looking to do some nature holidays in Nepal with your kids or parents.

    On the way to Kyanjin Gompa

Langtang family trek is one of the tops liked trek by the trekkers and most of the trekkers say it should not be missed if you are doing the trek in Nepal. The short trek starts at Syabrubesi which is 123 Km drive from Kathmandu. The drive offers a spectacular view of the countryside of the Rasuwa and Nuwakot District. The road to Syabrubesi is under construction so there is a dusty road. Once you are in Syabrubesi you will leave the Syabrubesi and trek to the north side of the valley through the Langtang River. Further 6-7 days you would spend in the periphery of the Langtang river valley. The trek passes through the dense alpine forest filled with the oak and Himalayan trees. The trek becomes more beautiful as you get closer to the Langtang village and the mountains appear ahead of you. Langtang Lirung (7,246m), Langtang II/Ghenge Liru (6,581m), Kimshung (6,781m) mountains are perfectly visible from the Langtang village. Kyanjin Gompa is your next and final destination. Sky touching mountains are around the Kyanjin Gompa village. Normally trekkers spend 2 nights in kyanjin because they have to go either Kyanjin RI or Tserko RI from where you can see the splendid view of the Langtang lirung 7,234 M, Langtang RI 7,205 M, Dorje Lakpa 6,966 M, Loenpo Gang 6,907 M, Changbu 6,781 M, Gangchenpo 6,387 M, Morimoto 6,150 M, Yala peak 5,520 M and many other high mountains. The colourful rhododendron which blooms on the forest of the Langtang valley is another attraction of the trek.

What is the best season for Langtang Family trek

Trek to Langtang valley is not always good. What we mean is that you need some specific season to get the best experience on your Langtang Family trek. We have described two seasons here, doing the trek on those seasons you get the best experience.


Spring season:

Spring season is one of the best seasons in Nepal for trekking after the Autumn season. March, April and May are the months, during those months you would be able to see the very stunning view of the mountains because the visibility is very good. There is less chance of the rainfall and clouds on the mountains. The trekking trails get so many types of rhododendron which increase the charms of the trek. If you do the Langtang family trek on this time you will get the maximum pleasure and best experience.


Autumn season:

Autumn season is the best season to trek in Nepal. Thousands of the trekkers trek Nepal’s Himalaya on this time. The weather always remains very clear. Visibility is very strong so you can see the mountains very clearly and the weather remains good almost all day. There is less chance of rainfall this time. Nepalese people celebrate the two biggest festivals of this season so you can enjoy your Nepal vacations.


Winter season:

Cold and foggy weather. Snowfall may occur often and you can not see the view clearly during this season. Not recommended season for the trek.


Monsoon season:

Rainfall occurs most of the time. Leeches, landslides, floods are very common at this time. You can not see the mountains because the fogs block the mountains.

2015 earthquake in langtang

In 2015 April there was a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Nepal. It was started from Barpak Gorkha then went around 16 districts of Nepal. The mountains were moving, that is the reason the big landslides fell down from the Langtang Lirung over the Langtang village and swept the Langtang village almost completely. This was the biggest tragedy of Nepal. The glaciers fell down from above the mountains and the air generated from the landslides damaged the forest around the valley. You can still see massive earthquakes full of massive stones. The ice melted away. So many locals died and lost their families. People of the Langtang village have rebuilt the village again but it needs the support from tourists like you so the Langtang is waiting to serve you. That is another reason you should do the Langtang Family Trek.
