Langtang Valley Trek

I did already my third trek with Nepal Hiking Team in December 2022. As with the previous two, the planning and booking with Ganga was very easy. E-Mails were answered very quickly and all my questions were answered. After having done Everest Base Camp and the Ghorepani-Poon Hill trek previously, I chose the less busy region of Langtang valley this time. Nepal Hiking Team prepared a custom 8-day-trek (plus 2 days of driving) in the Langtang valley and including Gosaikunda lake. My trekking guide Deepak and my porter Rajesh were both very friendly and spoke English well. My guide seemed very knowledgeable of the area and made some small adjustments of the itinerary on the fly (like staying at another village when we arrived at our planned destination early, to make the next day easier). He always made sure I get the best possible room in every guesthouse and I often even had a private bathroom attached to my room. The food on the trek was also very good everywhere. I have previously trekked in October in Nepal and I was a bit worried that December would be very cold. After having done the trek, I can now say that those worries were not necessary. I actually did not feel like it was colder than in October at all. It was cold at night and in the morning before the sun came up, but that was the same in October. As soon as the sun came out, it was always pretty warm and I had to peel back my layers quite quickly. There was also no snow except for the last few hundred meters before the highest point of the trek. This was also the most challenging part, because the path was quite icy, but it was manageable. The rest of the trek was not difficult for me technically. If you have hiked in the mountains before, you will be fine. I can fully recommend Nepal Hiking Team for all trekking in Nepal and I will definitely book again with them the next time I will be in the country.

I recently completed the Langtang Valley Trek with the help of Nepal Hiking Team. From my initial communications with Ganga, I could tell that I was in good hands. He was very responsive and listened carefully to the specific requests I had. My guide for the trek was Dhurba. He did a superb 5-star job, allowing me to keep my own pace but also keeping me on schedule. He was very knowledgeable and was able to provide insights on the trek I would have missed out on had I chosen to truly trek solo. Towards the end of the trek I did not feel well from the altitude, and Dhurba made sure I had whatever I needed to feel better. He truly cared and wanted to see me succeed. I felt that I not only had a guide, but made a friend along the way. Even though it was not initially part of our coordinated plans, Ganga was so kind as to arrange a driver to transport me from my hotel to the airport when I left Kathmandu free of charge. I would not hesitate to recommend Nepal Hiking Team to anyone looking to explore Nepal and the surrounding area. Great job, gentlemen. Thanks again to Ganga and Dhurba!

We had a wonderful time on the Langtang Valley Trek! What a beautiful place to experience. Also, very important to us, Ganga made sure we had the perfect guide and porter for our family, as we did the trek with our three year old son. Both our guide Puru and our porter Saban were outstanding! Puru has a young son of his own and was able to immediately bond with our son. That bond was instrumental and really allowed us to make the most of the trek (even during typical challenging three year old situations!). We can’t thank the team enough for such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.
