Langtang Valley Trekking is a moderate adventure trek with a slight touch of high Altitude region of Nepal. Langtang Valley, is located north of Kathmandu city, and it is the nearest Himalayan range from Kathmandu Valley. On a clear day, views of Langtang Himal peaks can be seen from Kathmandu also. It is a perfect adventure for women of all ages whether you are travelling solo or with your fellow female explorers, and it’s an ideal choice for a female only trekking guide agency in Nepal to accompany you on your journey.
The Langtang Valley Trekking involves an exciting drive heading north to the cool hills of Rasuwa district. The trek begins from Syabrubesi, leading trekkers uphill through farmland and traditional rural villages. Next, enter a river gorge covered in dense trees of tall rhododendrons and pine trees with some bamboo thickets.
The walk progresses with a slow climb, then entering a wide scenic valley of Langtang at Kyanjin Gompa. Kyanjin Gompa is the highest point for overnight stops. The Langtang Valley is enclosed by Langtang Himal, and arrays of snow peaks.
Kyanjin Gompa is a perfect place to enjoy the extra day to explore its scenic viewpoints for the best mountain panorama. Tserko-Ri, at 5,033 m and Kyanjin-Ri 4,773 m, offers spectacular panoramic views of surrounding giant peaks.
You can witness the views of all of Langtang Himal range from Langtang-Ri, Langtang Lirung, and Yala Peak as far as Jugal Himal. The views also includes Dorje Lakpa and Naya Kanga with Shisapangma in Tibet, which forms the boundary between Nepal and Tibet / China. You can also explore the local lifestyle of women and learn about their efforts toward women's empowerment. At Kyanjin Gompa visit the small cheese processing factory made from a Yak milk and its impressive monastery. The female trekking guides can help you explore this cultural and natural beauty, ensuring you have the best possible experience on your journey.
After enjoying a blissful time amidst a spectacular scenic location in the heart of Langtang Valley, we then return back to the Syabrubesi following the same route that we used to go up. Return journey is mostly downhills and back into tree lines to reach Syabrubesi for an interesting drive to Kathmandu.

Nepal is a country of great diversity of landscape and people with their age-old religions, cultures, and heritage. The mid-hill people around the high Langtang Himal area of Rasuwa district, is populated by the Tamang. The highlanders of Central and Mid-East and West Himalayas, the Tamang are the indigenous ethnic tribes of Nepal. With a migration history of more than 5,000 years, the Tamang drifted to Nepal from Inner Mongolia through Tibet. Tamang follows a strong Buddhist religion and culture, similar to their early Tibetan predecessors. The walk leads across many Buddhist monuments and shrines as well as monasteries.
The religious monuments include a series of prayer walls and spinning wheels with impressive monasteries of great religions and cultural interest. Tamang also practices the ancient Bon cult, a pre-Buddhism and Shamanism, having witch doctors as well as Buddhist Lama and priests.
Nepal is a country of high land of mid-hill to higher mountainous landscapes and terrains. Trekkers planning to join the Langtang Valley trek or other adventures in Nepal's Himalayas must be well-prepared and aware of the challenges ahead. The walk leads up and downhill with a few gradual sections to enjoy. The only flatland is the low sub-tropical Terai belt around southern Nepal.
En route to Langtang Valley at Kyanjin Gompa, starts with a pleasant gradual path with a few short steep ups to Lama Hotel. After crossing bridges and leaving the river gorge at Lama Hotel, walk leads to an undulating climb for a few hours to Langtang Village or Mundu.
From Langtang Village onwards, trekkers start with a short and gentle climb, following a scenic, winding path that gradually opens up to wide-ranging views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. For those interested in a unique experience, female porters are available to assist with carrying your gear along the trek, offering an empowering opportunity to support local women in the area.
The most challenging part of the trek is a long, steep ascent and descent, often tackled on a rest day, with an optional hike to Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri. These viewpoints reward trekkers with stunning panoramic vistas, making the effort worthwhile. The rest of the walk on the return journey is more or less a long descent with few short climbs to Syabrubesi.
