Langtang & the Laurebina La reviews

Private Trek to Langtang
This was an amazing two week trek seeing many different mountain ranges and differing environments. We saw many different types of wildlife including monkeys, herds of Yak and Mountain goats. The weather was cool but wonderful blue skies every day. We had a fantastic local team looking after us, supported by the Mountain Kingdom team.
Langtang and the Laurebina La
A very enjoyable trek in stunningly beautiful mountain scenery. The itinerary allowed excellent acclimatisation in the Langtang valley, so we were well prepared for the more rapid ascent to Gosainkund and over the Laurebina La pass. The debris of the 2015 landslide that destroyed Langtang village is sobering, but the locals are now ready and keen for trekkers to return. Our local sherpa guide was excellent, and all travel arrangements, including for a personalised extension in India, worked smoothly.
Trekking in the Langtang Valley
Trekking in the Langtang Valley was undoubtedly one of the best things I’ve ever experienced! Flanked by high peaks, I followed the trail along the valley from Sybaru Besi to Kyanjin Gompa where the panoramic mountain views were truly incredible. Each night we stopped in simple tea houses where we received the warmest of welcomes from the lovely local people, as well as some very tasty dal bhat! The Langtang region was devastated by the 2015 earthquake, with many lives lost and houses destroyed, but the indomitable people have done wonders in re-building their homes and villages, and re-opening the trails. Now they just need trekkers to return to help them restore their livelihoods. I encourage anyone looking for a Himalayan trek, away from the popular trails, to go and experience Langtang – you may even have it all to yourself.
Langtang & the Laurebina La Trek
Good route - lots of variety - scenic, ethnic and walking
Langtang & the Laurebina La
We felt we always had excellent care throughout the trip.
This was an excellent trekking experience
The combination of high mountain experience in Langtang and Laurebina La, with the slower paced but just as strenuous trek in Helambu, was ideal.
It was a wonderful trek
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trek to anybody. I'm already planning my return to Nepal with HK (now MK).
Langtang Trek
I've trekked many times in Nepal and elsewhere - this was by far the most well organised.
I really enjoyed this holiday
Excellent route through spectacular scenery and interesting villages. The leader was excellent, informative and helpful. Because it was such a small group we got to know the porters too. Really great experience. Also liked trekking where there weren't too many other people, especially during second half of trek.
