Langtang Valley Trek
Hello!
I am looking to trek in the Langtang Valley end of October.
As of now, it’s looking like my itinerary might be (but open to other ideas):
Oct 25th: Kathmandu to Syavrubesi (1460m; 6-7 hours drive)
Oct 26th: Trek Syavrubesi to Lama Hotel (2470m; 11.3km/7mi; 6-7 hours)
Oct 27th: Lama Hotel – Langtang Village (3430m; 5 hours)
Oct 28th: Langtang Village – Kyanjin Gompa (3900m; 4 hours)
Oct 29th: Rest Day in Kyanjin
Oct 30th: Kang Jing – Lama Hotel (2470m; 14.5km/ 9 miles; 7 hours)
Oct 31st: Lama Hotel – Syavrubesi (5-6 hours)
Nov 1st: Syavrubesi – Kathmandu (6-7 hours drive)
I have a ton of trekking experience, and am very familiar with hiking at altitude. I will most likely stay in teahouses along the way to minimize weight and also to bring money through tourism to the villages on the route. $300 is just an estimate of budget, but would likely be less I’m guessing?
I love traveling and meeting new people and would love to trek with others on this trip! Experiences can be richer when shared with others 🙂

I’ll be heading there around that time, but continuing on to Goisakund and over the pass. But if you want someone to tag along with for the first 6 days or so then drop me a message. Cheers, Dave
Hi Jackie! I was planning on doing the Manaslu circuit with a friend, but something urgent came up and he can’t make it (need two foreigners for restricted permit). Are you still looking for a trekking partner? I was thinking of changing plans and doing Langtang. I land in KTM on the 22nd
Hey Melissa!
I am still looking for a trekking partner!
Are you still interested?
Hi Jackie! Sorry for the late reply, my phone wasn’t letting me respond to messages. I found a group for Manaslu. Enjoy your trek 🙂
I am Juju , I would like to join you in this trek. I am Kathmandu citizen. I am going for ABC next month (trek starts 17 nov) but before that i want to go for lantang as well.
Hey Ju that would be great!
Hey Jackie, I will be in Kathmandu on 22th and planned also a one week Langtang trek. As I come from Tyrol (Austria) I have also trekking experience. My plan is also to sleep in tea houses. So if u are interested just write me a private message.
Namaste

Hey Marina! Would be great to hike together!
Hey , cool I just arrived this evening so I’ll try to organszie myself tomorrow and to get the trekking permit until the 25.
Hey,
I know its really late, because you start tomorrow but i wanted to ask if i could still join your group? I planned another trip, but unfortunately this is cancelled. I do hiking at home (but don’t have experience with this altitude). Would love to join your group, if its not too late?
Best Regards
Ronja
Hey Ronja,
I just landed in KTM and need to get my TIMS and bus plans sorted. I’m going to see if I can get it figured out tonight, but if not, I will be leaving the 26th. I’d love for you to join, but am a bit nervous if you haven’t hiked at altitude before. If you have issues or get sick/AMS do you feel comfortable turning around on your own? Likely you will be fine, but everyone reacts very differently and it’s difficult to know until you experience it.
Cheers,
Jackie
