Nepal - Langtang National Park trek options
Langtang National Park trek options
In this video we'll outline the main trekking options in the Langtang region just north of Kathmandu.
The Langtang National Park was created in 1976 and was the first National Park in Nepal. It extends over 1700 square kilometres and protects fantastic Himalayan peaks and valleys, over 40 villages, extremely bio-diverse flora and fauna and some very important religious landmarks and temples. It is a fantastic place to trek for a few days or an extended trek
Access is easy, just a 2 hour drive from Kathmandu.
While there are many different trekking route options in the Langtang National Park, the three most frequent and spectacular treks are:
• To Langtang village and on to Kyangjin Gompa and often further up to Tserko Ri for fantastic Himalayan mountain views
• The high pass trek across the Ganja La pass -- also with fantastic Himalayan mountain views
• And the beautiful trek to Gosainkunda Lake -- sacred to millions of Hindus.
The most frequented route is to Langtang village and on to Kyangjin Gompa -- usually about a 7 day trek.
This is a fantastic trek for its combination of relatively easy walking, beautiful high mountain scenery with some peaks well over 7,000m , and the opportunity to experience some Nepali rural village culture and the Buddhist monastery Kyanjin Gompa. The highest point of the trek is the Tserko Ri ridge at about 4,490m altitude. The views from Tserko Ri to Yala and Langtang mountain summits and the string of peaks along the border with Tibet are some of the most spectacular in Nepal.
The initial Langtang trek can be converted and extended into a high pass trek requiring a few challenging days in the high mountains and some camping. This route is the Ganja La pass.
The Ganja La pass is normally attempted from north to south and involves a challenging walk up the valley wall to a snow covered pass over the range at an altitude of 5,100m. There are no villages or tea house accommodation on this part of the trek so a night or two of camping is required. The reward is spectacular views across the Himalaya range. The trek then continues southward toward Kathmandu.
Another option is to traverse the lower end of the range at the western end of the Langtang Valley. This is a trek through the Gosainkunda Lake region. The Gosaikunda area has been designated as a religious site. Hindus say Gosaikunda as the abode of Lord Shiva . There is a temple located at the lake and a large festival is held there each year. The trek may be added to the return leg of a Langtang trek or conducted specifically to the lakes. Some treks continue southward toward Kathmandu while other options return to the Kathmandu valley.
Probably best to plan your Langtang treks for Spring or Autumn. This avoids the mid-summer monsoon season rain and low cloud. While it will be cold in February and November, these are still good times to trek the valley if you have the right clothing, equipment, accommodation planned and a good guide with you.
So these are just the three main trekking routes in the Langtang National Park area. Plus there are lot more amazing places that can be included in a customised trek itinerary.

Nepal - Annapurna trek options
Annapurna Trek Options
In this video we'll outline the main trekking options in the Annapurna region.
First, you'll need to know where Annapurna is located.
The Annapurna peaks -- and there are at least 5 peaks carrying the name Annapurna -- are located in the Annapurna Sanctuary Area just north of Pokhara.
There are a host of 7 and 8 thousand meter peaks in the sanctuary. Various trekking options can get you close to some or all of them.
Just about all Annapurna treks start from Pokhara, located west of Kathmandu and reached by 35 minute flight or one day road trip from Kathmandu.
There are three main treks conducted in and around the Annapurna region.
• Short treks into the high foothills that provide spectacular views of the snow-capped mountains.
• Treks into the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary to the Annapurna Base Camp area.
• Much longer treks that complete a circuit loop right around the Annapurna mountain massif.
We'll start with a look at the short treks designed to provide fantastic views of the mountains with just a few days trekking.
The peaks of the Annapurna massif are only about 40 km north of Pokhara.
So a short drive and just a day or two walking will get you into the high foothills where the mountain scenery is spectacular.
The most common mountain scenery short-trek is to the village or Ghorepani and the Poon Hill lookout just above the village. It is a fantastic experience.
Most people aim to experience sunrise over the Annapurna mountains from the 3,200m vantage point of Poon Hill.
Reaching Ghorepani is usually a 2 day walk from the entrance to the Sanctuary Area.
Many people then return to Pokhara via an easy loop through other villages and the main valley into the sanctuary. Others just make this the first leg of a longer trek to Annapurna base Camp.
But there are also other panoramic short trek and accommodation options throughout the foothills -- so contact us at Langtang Ri Trekking if you would like to know more.
The most common trekking destination in the sanctuary is to the Annapurna Base Camp -- the starting point for many climbing expeditions.
Depending upon the route this can be about a 7 to 10 or 14 days trek.
There are villages and accommodation options all along the trekking routes. The scenery is spectacular. The altitude not too high, less than 4,000m throughout. And the walking trails are well made and relatively easy walking.
The third trekking option is to circumnavigate the entire Annapurna massif -- this is the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
There are a variety of different shorter and longer versions of this trek -- some which involve terminating the trek north of Annapurna, at Jomson, and returning to Pokhara by air. Others branch off into remote valleys and high passes and others continue on foot all the way to the Sanctuary Area gate north of Pokhara. So some treks can be a short as 12 days and other 21 days or longer.
While the main appeal of this trek is its spectacular scenery and the experience of visiting remote villages and their people, another attraction is its suitability for trekking right through the mi-summer monsoon period. Because the treks goes north of the mountain peaks the treks is in the mountain rain-shadow and so can be comfortable completed any time other than the depths of mid-winter.
So these are just the three main trekking routes in the Annapurna Sanctuary Area. Plus there are lot more valleys, villages, lakes, high passes and festivals that can be included in a customised trek itinerary.

Best time to trek in Nepal?
langtang.com Best time to trek in Nepal?
There are four main activities people visit Nepal for -- mountain climbing; trekking; cultural tours of many types; and wildlife tours.
But mountain climbing is a special case and every mountain has its own characteristics and local climate -- so we can't really generalise for climbing. Just contact us directly and Langtang Ri Trekking and Expedition if you want information for planning a climbing expedition. So this video will focus on the other more common activities.
But first, you need to think about where Nepal is located. And what that means for Nepal's climate and seasons. Because Nepal sits just north of India it experiences the same seasonal patterns as India -- in particular, the mid-summer monsoon. But we'll come back to the monsoon in a minute.
The other important factor is Nepal's location on the southern face of the massive Himalaya Mountain Range. So all of northern Nepal is very high mountain peaks and valleys.
While the northern peaks of the Himalaya Mountains reach well over 7,000 and 8,000m and the valleys where treks are conducted often reach altitudes of 4,000m to 5,400m. These altitudes have a huge influence on temperatures and the ability to trek safely.
The two most commonly regions for trekking and in the valleys leading to Mount Everest and its Base Camp.
And the Annapurna region, particularly its southern approaches and base camp area.
So, if you plan to trek to Everest or Annapurna, you know your planned location, but you need to understand the implications of their altitude and the seasons.
The most common Everest trek is from Lukla to Everest base Camp.
It's going to take you about a week to reach base camp and a bit less to return to Lukla.
You'll start at 2,800m or 9,000 feet altitude
And reach 5,300m or 17,400 feet at base camp. That is very very high. The air is thin and it gets colder the higher you go. You'll be walking on a frozen glacier as you approach base camp -- so it gets cold up there.
So, if you plan to trek the high valleys and mountains, best to avoid the dangerous cold and snows of mid-winter.
And the monsoon from June through August tends to be very wet, cloudy and stormy -- so not the most comfortable time to trek to Everest.
While the altitudes reach on Annapurna treks are not quite as high as for Everest, their trekking conditions are similar.
Probably best to plan your visit for Spring or Autumn. While it will be cold in february and November, these are still good times to trek the mountains if you have the right clothing, equipment, accommodation planned and a good guide with you.
But while you might be best not to trek to Everest or Annapurna Base Camps during the monsoon, there are places where you can trek during the monsoon very comfortably.
The Upper Mustang Region can be safely and comfortable trekked any time apart from mid-winter.
And the Annapurna Circuit can also be trekked during the monsoon -- but best avoided mid-winter.
The main Annapurna mountain range is very high and blocks the northward movement of the monsoon clouds and storms.
Forming a rain shadow region north of the mountain range. This reduces the rain and makes trekking possible.
The Upper Mustang trek reaches almost to the border with Tibet.
And the Annapurna Circuit trek will take you through the rain shadow region north of the high ranges.
So these treks can be conducted any month apart from mid-winter.
So, almost any time is a great time to visit Nepal, it just depends what you want to do and where you want to go. If you need help to plan your visit please contact Pamfa -- she has the answers to all your questions. We hope to see you soon at Langtang Ri Trekking and Expedition.
Nepal - Dolpo, Shey Phoksundo National Park - Trek Options
Dolpo - Shey Phoksundo National Park - Trek Options
In this video we'll outline the main trekking options in the beautiful and less frequently visited Dolpo region of western Nepal.
The region is about 300kn north-west of Kathmandu, Nepal, and almost the entire region is within the very large Shey Phoksundo National Park.
Most treks require a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara and then on to one of the few landing strips serving the region. Most treks start and finish at the Jupal airstrip in southern, or lower Dolpo. But the airstrip at Jomson to the east can be another entry or departure point.
There are two regions within Dolpo and the National Park and treks tend to focus on one or the other, or an extended trek can cover both:
• Southern, or Lower Dolpo, comprises huge valleys, scattered small villages, beautiful lakes and challenging mountain passes over 5,000m high.
• Northern, or Upper Dolpo, is more arid and remote and the location of ancient gompa or monasteries, icy peaks and more high passes.
Both regions offer a fantastic and physically challenging trekking experience.
The region is culturally Tibetan and people here practice the ancient pre-Buddhist religion of Bon. The valley and mountain scenery throughout the region is spectacular and also a haven for wildlife.
Most treks require 3 or 4 weeks to complete and there are many opportunities to customise a trek route as the region has multiple entry and exit points and established trekking paths.
But there are three main trekking routes in Dolpo:
• The Lower Dolpo circuit starting and ending at Jupal airstrip.
• The Upper Dolpo region via a circuit from Jupal that also includes part of the lower Dolpo circuit
• And The Upper Dolpo region from the starting point of Jupal and ending at Jomson to the north east.
We'll start with a look at the Lower Dolpo circuit.
From the entry point at Jupal airstrip, treks usually head due north along the deep valley to the village of Ringmo and the stunningly beautiful Phoksundo Lake. Phoksundo Lake is a mystical and scenic gem and very significant to local followers of the Bon religion. Treks then continue over high 5,100m passes at Bagar La and Numla to the next major valley and return to Jupal via Tarakot. Allow about 3 weeks for this trek.
The next trek option is to the Upper Dolpo region closer to the border with Tibet and the home of ancient monasteries at Shey Gompa and Saldang. This trek also starts at Jupal and passing northward along the upper reaches of Phoksundo Lake to reach the tiny monastery perched on a hillside at Shey Gompa. Allow 4 weeks for this life-changing trek.
Another option is to start the trek at Jupal and then end at the Jomson airstrip and fly back to Pokhara. This trek follows much the same route we just mentioned for Upper Dolpo but diverts south-eastward to the major valley to Upper Mustang and the airport town of Jomson. This final eastward leg also includes some remote and high mountain passes. Allow 4 weeks for this fantastic trek.
The Dolpo region is a unique and special part of Nepal. Trekking can be strenuous but the rewards from its spectacular scenery, friendly people and Tibetan-influenced culture are worth the effort.

Nepal - Mount Everest trek options
Mount Everest trek options
In this video we'll outline the main trekking options in the Mount Everest region.
First, you'll need to know where Mount Everest is located.
Mount Everest is located in the Sagarmatha National Park just north of Lukla -- the starting point for almost every trek in this region.
Lukla is located east of Kathmandu and reached by 35 minute flight. Flying is really the only way to get there.
There are three main treks conducted in and around the Mount Everest region.
• Short treks into the high foothills that provide spectacular views of the snow-capped mountains and views of the summit peak of Mount Everest itself.
• Direct treks to the Mount Everest Base Camp at the foot of the mountain.
• Much longer treks that complete a circuit loop to Mount Everest Base Camp via the spectacular Gokyo Lakes and Cho La high pass.
While some trekking is still required, unless you choose the helicopter option, it is possible to glimpse the summit of Mount Everest from the comfort of luxury hotel accommodation.
A day or two walk from Lukla will get you to one of the hotels vantage points to glimpse Mount Everest.
Even from this distance the mountain views are spectacular. So this trek option might be of interest to those with limited time or concerns about fitness and the dangers of altitude sickness.
The direct trek from Lukla to Mount Everest base Camp and return is by far the most popular trek itinerary in Nepal.
These treks all start from Lukla and take about 12 to 14 days to return to Lukla.
Some solid days of walking are required, however, there will normally be at least two rest days on the outbound journey at help your body adjust the to the high altitude and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
So the trek starts at 2,800m altitude, over 9,000 feet at Lukla and reaches 5,300m or 17,400 feet at the Everest Base Camp. This is very high and good fitness and careful altitude acclimatization is required for a safe and comfortable trek. Accommodation options are many and varied along this route. There are also many options for side-treks and experiencing local festivals and religious centre along this route -- just contact us here at Langtang Ri for more information on these many options.
The third and most spectacular and physically challenging trekking option is the extended trek to Mount Everest Base Camp via the Gokyo Lakes and the Cho la Pass.
This is a long trek into the heart of the Sagarmatha National park and its most spectacular scenery.
The trek starts and ends in Lukla and traverses the very high Cho la Pass as it heads over to the Khumbu Glacier Valley. This is a very challenging pass at an altitude of nearly 5,400m, or 17,700 feet and should only be attempted with the assistance of an experienced guide. However, the experience and stunning scenery reward the effort this trek requires.
Probably best to plan your Everest treks for Spring or Autumn. This avoids the mid-summer monsoon season when rain and low cloud can make flying and trekking in the Everest region difficult. While it will be cold in February and November, these are still good times to trek the mountains if you have the right clothing, equipment, accommodation planned and a good guide with you.
So these are just the three main trekking routes in the Everest Base Camp Area. Plus there are lot more valleys, lakes, high peaks, high passes, monasteries and festivals that can be included in a customised trek itinerary.
If you need help to plan your trek please contact Pamfa -- she has the answers to all your questions. We hope to see you soon at Langtang Ri Trekking and Expedition.

Langtang Ri Leonardo and Niko Interview
The Mustang region of western Nepal is one of the country’s most recent districts to be opened for international visitors and trekkers. Until relatively recently it was the Kingdom of Lo and its people lived as part of the Tibetan Himalayan culture. Tibetan languages are still spoken there and the culture, practices and beliefs of the people are still strongly influenced by Tibet. While the Kingdom of Lo became part of Nepal in the late 18th century, the position of monarch, or king, was only abolished by the Government of Nepal in 2008. So the Mustang region offer visitors a glimpse into a unique cultural community of Nepal in a stunning high Himalayan desert landscape.
Leonardo and Niko went to the Upper Mustang with Langtang Ri Trekking and Expedition. Hear what they had to say about their trip and their overall experience in Nepal.
