Langtang Trek During The Spring Season 2025

Langtang Kyangin Trek is considered an easy trek in Nepal, and it offers the grand view of snowy mountains, landscapes, rainy jungle, and many more. Every year, thousands of trekkers trek to this Himalayan region for trekking. As a trekking guide, I have done this trek many times with many trekkers from various countries. 

Lang means Yak, and Tang means chase. According to the legend, Langtang Valley was founded by a shepherd who chased his loyal Nak (the female Yak), who had lost Tibet. While chasing the Yak, he found this beautiful valley and named it Langtang. 

Usually, the Langtang Valley Trek starts from Syaprubesi; nowadays, because of the road, people can start from various places. I have started this trek from Sundarijal, Dhunche, Bharku, Thulo Bharku, Syaprubesi, etc. Similarly, this trek can end in this vice Versa.  This time we are following the route from Khangim and Sherpa Gaun to Kyangin. 

Our day-to-day 2025 Langtang Kyangin Trekking itinerary is as follows 

Day 1: Drive from Kathmandu to Sherpa Danda and trek to Sherpa Gaun 2600m 

We started our drive from Holi Himalaya after packing the luggage on the roof of the Jeep. We followed the road from Tokha and continued to drive to Syaprubesi. Along the way, we stopped at the Trisuli for lunch and at many Army and police checkpoints. 

From Syaprubesi, we followed the dirt roads to Khangzim and all the way to Sherpagaun Danda. From there, we started our trek to Sherpagaun. When we arrived, it started to rain a bit, but still we continued our walk to Sherpagaun. We reached Sherpagaun at 5:30 pm and stayed at the Super View Hotel. At the hotel, there were three other trekkers as well from the Newland.

The hotel owner used to be the trekking guide and cook. Unfortunately, he got frostbite and needs to have half of his right leg amputated. So that I recommend everyone who travels from there to please stay at his guest house and support him. 

Day 2: Trek to Thangshep 3200m

After breakfast at the Super View Guest House, we started our trek to Thangshep. The first part of the trail was Nepali flat and downhill to Rimche. Rimche is the place where meet regular Langtang Valley Trekking Trail and the Tamang Heritage Trail Trek meet. From there, we also continued our journey to the Lama Hotel we had a tea break. 

From the Lama Hotel Trekking trails ascend slowly to the Riverside, where we had a lunch break. Walking on the riverbank is so peaceful because there you can only hear the sound of water and birds. Our next stop was at the Ghoda Tabela, where we needed to check in our trekking permit for Langtang Valley. And continue our trek to Thangshep 3200m. We reached Thangshep around 2:30 pm and spent overnight at there. 

Along the way the many types of rhododendrons flowers are blooming and welcoming everyone to the Langtang Kyangin Gumba. We are also becoming their guest for the 2025 season. 

Day 3: Trek to Kyangin 3880m 

In the morning, the weather was not good when I woke up at 6 am, but later the weather was good to enjoy the walk to Kyangin. Blue sky, snowy peaks, and sunshine made our trek enjoyable and beautiful. 

Our tea break was at Langtang Village, it is the village which was completely swept by an earthquake in 2015. But now it is already rebuilt, and the village is reshaping as usual. While we trekked to Langtang, we visited the memorial park, where we saw the namelist of the people who passed away during the earthquake. 

After around 30 30-minute walk, we stopped at Mundu for lunch. Lunch was delicious and even the walk to Mundu was amazing because we passed the beautiful Mani Walls and enjoyed the magnificent view of snow peaks such as Langtang Lirung, Ghang Chemo, and many more. 

The walk from Mundu to Kyangin was around two and a half hours. When we reached Kyangin, the weather was cloudy and cold. We checked into Lovely Guest House, which is a small but beautiful guest house in Kyangin. 

Day 4: Hike to Kyangin Ri 4400m 

We had breakfast at 6:30 am in the morning and then started our trek to Kyangin Ri. When we started our hike, the weather was okay, but at that time, the weather was pretty bad and cloudy. Even though we continued our trek to Kyangin Ri. 

After 2 and a half hours, we reached lower Kyangin Ri, where we took some photos and spent some quality time, and then trekked down to Kyangin via another route then we followed while climbing up. It took one and half hours to get down to Kyangin Gumba. Then we eat lunch and take a good break. 

In the afternoon, we visited the Monastery, Cheese factory, and bakery shop, where we enjoyed the delicious coffee and cakes. The bakery cafe was quite busy because it is the only shop here, and almost all the people go there for coffee and cakes. 

Day 5: Trek to Langshisa Kharka and back to Kyangin Gumba 

As on other days, we had breakfast at 6:30 am in the morning and started our trek to Langshisa Kharka. This is the first time I am also going there, so a bit nervous and more excited to be there. Because of the full day hike, we took a packed lunch (Chapati with omelet and boiled eggs. Also, big pot of black tea as well. 

The trail to Langshisa Kharka is almost like the Nepali flat, a bit up and a bit down. Walking through the bank of the Langtang River was amazing because of the valley view with the mountain peaks on both sides. Along the way, we took some beautiful photos and continued our trek to Langshisa. Along the way, we met a camping group we made camping at the Langshisa Kharka. Camping at Langshisa Kharka can be an extraordinary experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. Because of the surrounding vistas and environment of the Langshisa Kharka. 

It took us 3 and a half hours to reach Langshisa Kharka. After reaching there, we ate Chapati and eggs and drank a cup of hot back tea. It was a lifetime adventure we made, which I had never done when I did the Langtang Kyangin Trek. We spent around 30 minutes there and then trek back to Kyangin Gumba. 

While we were back, the last part was a bit challenging because of the sudden change in weather conditions. It was cloudy and a bit of rain, and very cold to walk in that atmosphere.  At at 2:30 we are back in Kyangin Gumba and had hot noddle soup. 

Day 6: Trek to Thangshep 

The weather was not clear early in the morning because I was planning to hike up to Kyangin Ri if the weather was clear. I woke up at 4 am to check the weather conditions, and it was bad, so that I told myself to sleep, Mr. Raby. And then I woke up at 7:30 am and was ready for today’s trek down. 

We changed our schedule and skipped going to Gosainkunda, so today we started a bit late after breakfast at 8 am in the morning. We actually started our trek down to Thangshep at around 8:30 am. The journey started amazingly with spectacular vistas of the surrounding environment. Including the giant snowy peaks, Kyangin Ri, Tseriku Ri viewpoint, and Kyangin Village. 

Walking down was easy; we slowly trekked to Langtang and took a lunch break. We spent around one and a half hours and continued our trek to Thangsehp. When we started out hiking, the clouds in the sky were growing, and the wind started to blow strongly. We walked through those hurdles and reached Thangshep at 2:30 pm. Overall, today was a fantastic day for Langtang Trekking. 

Day 7: Trek to Bamboo

Today was a rainy day for us because it raining from the morning, and after breakfast at Thangshep, we started our journey to Bamboo. Walking in the rain is not fun because we have to wear a raincoat and cover our bags with plastic. It was really uncomfortable to walk in the rain, especially for me, because I hadn’t taken my hiking boots this time. 

Today we met many Nepali and other hikers who were going up to Langtang and Kyangin. Which we missed for many days. We had a tea break at the Riverside and took a lunch break at the Lama Hotel. Till the Lama Hotel, we faced rain, and after lunch lunch when we walked rain stopped, but the trekking trail was very muddy and slippery. 

We walked slowly and consciously, and after 5 hours we reached Bamboo, and we stayed at the Bamboo Lodge. At Bamboo, there is a very basic lodge available so that if someone is looking for a fancy lodge, this place is not for them. But this place is located on the bank of the Langtang River and middle of the Jungle, so it is a small and beautiful place en route to the Langtang Valley Trek. 

Day 8: Trek to Thulo Syapru 

Today is an easy day, so we had breakfast at 8:30 and started walking around 9 am. The first part was Nepali flat and down to reach Pairo. From Pairo we climbed up around and and half hour to reach in tea shop where we took a tea break. We spent around 30 minutes there and continued our journey to Thulo Syapru. 

It took us three and a half hours to reach Thulo Syapru. After we got there, we had lunch and took a shower, so everyone was clean. In the evening, we walked around the village and visited an ancient monastery, where we burned a butter lamp and prayed for god to give us the strength to walk more and do more trekking in Nepal. 

Day 9: Trek to Dhunche 

After breakfast, we embarked on our trek to Thulo Bharku as planned, but we changed our plan and started to walk to Dhunche. The walking trail to Thulo Bharku is beautiful because the first part involves walking on the motor road and then needs to walk on an old trekking trail, which is barely used now. Because there are not walking any tourist and even no local people so the wooden bridges are broken down and the trekking trails have almost vanished. 

We had a delicious lunch break at the Thulo Bharku and then walked on the proper black top road to Dhunche. That walk was the most tedious walk for all of us because walking on the road is not fun. After two and a half hours, we reached Dhunche and stayed at the Kasa Tibet Hotel, which is an old hotel but offers better service for the Nepali guides and porters. 

Today was our last day of the Langtang Kyangin Trek we planned to eat together. According to our plan, we ordered dinner together and ate together. After dinner, we summarized the trek, and in the end, we got a handsome fee from our clients. So our last day of the trek ended beautifully. 

Day 10: Drive to Kathmandu 

We ordered breakfast for 6 am and took a jeep at 6:30. This was a strange plan, but it ended perfectly because we arrived in Kathmandu at 11 am in the morning, which was earlier than we planned. 

Overall, this trek was fantastic and we enjoyed it a lot, although we changed the itinerary a bit and didn’t trek to Gosainkunda. I think it was a good decision because when we walked to Thulo Syapru, the weather in the Godainkunda region seemed very bad. 

Weather conditions during the spring season 

Usually, the weather during the spring season used to be clear; however, this time we had mixed weather conditions. Means sometimes clear, sometimes cloudy, and even sometimes rainy. When we started our day one drive from Kathmandu to Sherpa Danda weather was fine, but when we reached Sherpa Danda started to rain, and we walked in the rain. 

Day 2 was fantastic, had perfect weather to reach Thangshep, but in the evening, there was some rain. Similarly, day 3 to reach Kyangin also had beautiful weather, and again in the evening, the clouds in the sky, and it felt cold during the evening. Day three was completely messed up because cloudy and had no view at all. On day 4, we had great weather during the morning and afternoon again cloudy and rainy. The same thing goes on all days of our treks, morning time, clear weather, and afternoon or evening time, cloudy or rainy. Our trek was from April 28th to May 7th. 

My packing list for the Langtang Valley Trek 

I thought it might not be cold during this season so that I didn’t take warm clothes like a down jacket, a sleeping bag, and proper trekking boots. Besides these things, I took other basic clothing items, toiletries, and some snacks. This time did a light pack and made an easy trek to Kyangin Ri.

Altitude sickness during the Langtang Trek

During the Langtang Valley Trek, this time we are all very experienced team members who were there. Our clients have been in Nepal more than 20 times and have done many high-altitude treks. Porter, we have he has also already done many treks which were more than 5000m high passes. So that there we didn’t have any altitude sickness problems during the trek and after the trek as well. 

As this Langtang Kyangin Trek is considered an easy trek, there are very low chances of getting altitude sickness. However, if you are negligent, then there are chances of getting sick because the mountain and nature are always strong. And my clients were taking medicine against the altitude sickness, as well as safety first. 

Basic cost info for food from Sherpa Gaun to Kyangin Gumba. 

During this trek, the price of food differs in every place, black tea costs 100 to 180 rupees, and Dal Bhat costs 676 to 800 rupees. The room cost will be different in different guest houses in different places. The food menu is expensive in Thangshap, here is even more expensive than in Kyangin Gumba. One of the Guest houses in Thangshap for black tea costs 180, and in Kyangin, it costs 120 rupees for a cup. Keep in mind that the menu is almost the same everywhere, and the price is around 50 to 200 rupees different in different places.

Langtang Trekking Permit 

Langtang Kyangin Trekking is inside the Langtang National Park, which is also one of the UNESCO HERITAGE SITES in Nepal. So trekking to Langtang Valley requires a Langtang National Park entry permit and a TIMS Card (Trekking Information Management System). National Park Permit can be issued by Nepal Tourism Board, Bhrikuti Mandap, Kathmandu. Also, along the way in Dhunche and Ghoda Tabela also possible to get a Langtang National Park Permit. National Park Permit costs 3000 rupees per person, and the TIMS Card will cost 2000 rupees. These two are the most needed permits for the Langtang Valley Trek. 

Animals I show during this trek 

Langtang National Park is one of the preserves for animals and birds. So, doing this trek is an opportunity to encounter various animals. During this trek, for the first time, I saw a wild bear, which was another part of the Rimche village. Yaks are very common to see during the Langtang Trek, and I also saw a bunch of beautiful deer. When we walk from Thangsyap to Kyangin, I show the White Monkey (Langur) and so many Himalayan Thars when we do a day hike to Langshiha Kharka. If you are lucky, there is a chance to see a Red Panda as well. During this trek, I saw various species of birds, including the big Vulture. 

Drinking water during the trek. 

As it is a naturally pure place, there are many streams and water sources available. But for foreigners, it is not safe to drink water directly from streams because foreigners are not habit to drinking water directly from rivers. If you have water purification tablets or any equipment, you can directly take water from the source. Otherwise, every hotel will serve hot water and a bottle of mineral water as well. I found that this time the mineral water cost 250 to 400 rupees, which is very expensive. This price is expensive, like the price at Kalapatter last guest house during the Everest Base Camp Trek. 

Note: As I am a trekking guide, I can organize the Langtang trek for you as well. If you are looking for a trek to Nepal, then give me a call or email, then I will organize your trek and even if time fever I will guide you, your beloved one, and groups as well.
