Best Time to Go for the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek

One of the first things that anyone should be aware of before heading out on any trek or tour is the weather and climatic situation. So, we suggest trekkers know which season or time of the year is the best for the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek before you book the package. As per the adventure experts, the Spring season (March to May) or Autumn season (mid-September to November) are the best times to go for any trekking in Nepal and the same goes for the 8-Day Langtang Valley Trek.

During these seasons, trekkers can enjoy better views, pleasant weather, a relaxing walk, and an amazing landscape. Moreover, the sights of rhododendron blooms, lush green forests, and clear sights of the mighty Himalayas act as the cherry on top. If you visit the Langtang region during the Spring or Autumn season, you can also find most of the hotels and lodges open on the route. This means that trekkers can get better facilities and higher food variations. Moreover, the journey will also be risk-free and comparatively safer from altitude sickness.

For some extra adventure, adrenaline-rush, and risk lovers, the Winter season (late November to February) is also a good time to go for the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek. However, one must be aware of the fact that during the winter season, the route is comparatively risky due to slippery tracks and potential fog. Moreover, hotels and lodges also remain closed due to uncertain weather and extremely cold temperatures.

Is Langtang Valley Trekking suitable for anyone?

Langtang Valley Trekking route is comparatively easy if you choose the best season as mentioned above. As the weather, climate, and different other factors remain in the trekker's favor, you can ascend the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trekking Trail with much ease and comfort. Therefore, we suppose that this trek will be suitable for anyone during the spring and autumn seasons.

However, by anyone, we do not mean anyone because there are still some groups that Adventure Bound considers not eligible to go for the Langtang Valley 8 Day Trek and they are:

  • Very young infants and very old age people.
  • People with serious issues related to the heart, bones, and muscles.
  • Pregnant women and women in the post-maternity phase.
  • People with higher consumption of alcohol and cigarettes.

Regarding the winter season trekking, we only suggest that highly professional trekkers ascend to the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek. Due to unforeseen climatic conditions and highly difficult terrain, not everyone can for this trek during the winter season.

Just like every other Langtang Valley Trekking package, the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek also begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. This is a 7-8 hour long journey by a public sharing bus that covers a total distance of about 80 kilometers. Trekkers can enjoy their transition from the urban settlement of Kathmandu to a rather peaceful and traditional settlement in the Langtang region (Syabrubesi).

As you reach the Syabrubesi bus station, our representatives will take you to the hotel for the overnight stay.

From Syabrubesi, we begin the trekking journey by ascending to the first checkpoint, Lama Hotel. This part of the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trekking map is comparatively easier and convenient than the trails that are waiting for you in the higher altitude. Nevertheless, the peacefulness, serenity, and beauty of nature and landscapes make your journey more calm and adventurous.

We stopped by in the middle of the journey for lunch because we needed to walk for about 5-6 hours on this day. The trek begins with trekkers crossing the Bhote Koshi river leading towards Bamboo (2200 meters) and then to Rimche (2485 meters). After such a long journey, we finally reached the destination of the day, Lama Hotel located at an altitude of (2480 meters).

Throughout this section of the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek, trekkers can enjoy walking past several lush forests, and rhododendron blooms, along with some glimpses of unique and endangered animals and birds. As a whole, you will be on an adventurous journey.

On the third day, we leave Lama Hotel and ascend towards the Langtang Village. The journey begins as soon as the trekkers have their breakfast. As we cover some distance, the route passes through rhododendron and pine forests leading to Ghoda Tabela (3030 meters) after crossing the forest. Throughout this section of the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek, trekkers can enjoy the majestic views of the Langtang Lirung and the Langtang Himal Range.

As we pass Ghoda Tabela after having lunch, the trail launches towards the alpine meadows after the valley. Now, we have almost reached the Langtang Village but before that, the trekkers pass through several temporary settlements used by herders to graze their cattle for days. Walking a furthermore takes us to a beautiful village at an altitude of 3430 meters. The 2015 Earthquake severely damaged this village. This is the village of Langtang, our destination for the third day of the 8 Day Langtang Valley expedition.

Adventure Bound arranges one of the best hotels or lodges in the Langtang Village for the overnight stay and dinner.

On the fourth day, trekkers will have a fulfilling breakfast in the hotel at the Langtang Village and then continue the Langtang Valley 8 Day Trek journey. On this day, the route takes us to the Kyanjin Gompa, and don't worry because we will only have to walk for 4 to 5 hours. Kyanjin Gompa is located at an altitude of 3870 meters. On your way from Langtang Village to Kyanjin Gompa, you will pass through several Chortens, prayer flags, Mani walls, and other significances of the Buddhist religion.

Furthermore, your trekking journey is made more enjoyable and adventurous by the views of the mountains and landscapes. When you reach Kyanjin Gompa, you will be surrounded by religious vibes, monks, and the tradition-influenced lifestyle. You can spend the rest of the time interacting with the locals or exploring the area. For dinner and overnight stay, Adventure Bound arranges a hotel or guesthouse in Kyanjin Gompa.

  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  • Accommodation: Hotel / Guesthouse / Teahouse
  • Place: Kyanjin Gompa
  • Altitude: 3870 meters

The fifth day is a rest day at Kyanjin Gompa as the route has already reached the altitude sickness-prone level. Currently, we are at an altitude of 3830 meters above sea level which means that there is a certain risk of altitude sickness. Therefore, this day of the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek is designed to be an acclimatization day.

However, a rest day does not mean that we will just lay on the bed and spend the entire day without doing anything. Today, trekkers have two options: a Day Hike to Kyanjin Ri (4400 meters) or a day hike to Tesergo Ri (4985 meters). You can choose and ascend to any of these two destinations. Other than these two places, you can also visit the Kyanjin Gompa (the monastery from which this place got its name) and the famous Cheese factory that produces Yak Cheese.

Besides, if you go for the day hike to Kyanjin Ri or Tesergo Ri, you will be in for a journey full of panoramic views of the Langtang Himal Range and other mountains, including the highest peak in the range, the Langtang Lirung Himal (7245 meters). Besides, the day treks and both of these Ris also offer eye-soothing views of the valleys, frozen lakes, and pristine glaciers. By the evening, we request the trekkers to return to Kyanjin Gompa for dinner and an overnight stay.

Kyanjin Gompa Altitude: 3830 meters

Tesergo Ri Altitude: 4985 meters

  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  • Accommodation: Hotel / Guesthouse / Teahouse

How did you like your stay and day hikes at Kyanjin Gompa? It's certainly an amazing place for the trekkers to take a rest after such a tiring ascend to such a high altitude. However, we need to move forward with the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trekking map so, on the sixth day, we set off on a descending journey.

Yes, we have reached the highest point of the trek (Kyanjin Gompa) and even higher than that with one of the two-day hikes. Therefore, it is now time to fall back towards the base of the trekking map. Even though it won't take much time, trekkers will descend a remarkable altitude of 3830 meters to 2470 meters.

Moreover, you can also find many tea houses open here with residents talking to each other in front of these tea houses.

Besides, trekkers can also experience walking through the lush forests of pine and rhododendrons while passing through different waterfalls, rivers, and suspension bridges.

Altitude Sickness During the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek and its Remedies

The 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek takes the trekkers to the altitude of about 5000 meters above sea level. Altitude sickness is one of the most common but brutal (if not cured or treated on time) illnesses or issues at such high altitudes. In most cases, trekkers start facing the symptoms of altitude sickness immediately as they ascend higher than 3000 meters above sea level.

Here are some of the most common symptoms of or signs of altitude sickness;

  • Headache
  • Lethargy
  • A drop in performance
  • Lack of coordination
  • Insomnia
  • Appetite loss
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea

Be careful if you feel like any of the symptoms listed above. However, we suggest you not worry or panic because, with a little precaution, trekkers can stay safe from altitude sickness issues as well. Here are a few remedies for altitude sickness when you are ascending on the 8 Day Langtang Valley Trek:

  • Drink plenty of water throughout the trek. It is suggested to drink 1 liter of water after ascending 500 meters.
  • Trekkers must avoid alcohol consumption completely. Alcohol can cause dehydration which leads to altitude sickness during high altitude journeys.
  • When you are at a higher altitude, you must eat carbs to gain more calories in your body. This makes you physically strong and helps you resist some symptoms of altitude sickness.
  • Utilize the acclimatization day properly and remember the ascend higher, sleep lower formula.
  • Do not increase the pace. Keep a slow but steady pace and keep your mind and body completely relaxed throughout the journey.
