While Nepal is prominently known worldwide for the mighty Everest and Annapurna, the Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek offers just as raw a beauty of nature, if not more. These rare attractions are so rewarding that they need to be brought to the attention of nature lovers worldwide.
Unlike most other treks, the fun and excitement of the expedition skyrocketed on this trek as it offers real glacial terrain. Just adjacent to Kyanjin, the Langtang Glacier is a high-altitude landscape that you will definitely enjoy exploring. On this glacier, you can walk across moraines and witness massive ice formations up close. The radiating glow of these glaciers stands perfectly in contrast with lush green, dense forests below. These alpine landscapes look absolutely wild and dramatic or this glacial environment truly feels like Himalayan amphitheater.
In a catastrophic earthquake of magnitude 7.8 Richter that occurred in 2015, the Langtang Valley was ravaged almost completely. Its revival is a story of grit and resilience. Houses were devastated and forsaken due to a massive avalanche, trees were uprooted, a river wiped completely out of existence and a bridge over it got buried deep under the rubble of rocks. The Langtang National Park also suffered loss of wildlife habitat and damage to flora and fauna. The destruction was so epic that only a gloomy and desolate landscape was left behind.
Despite an enormous aftershock due to the earthquake, the locals didn’t give up; rather, started rebuilding efforts right away. They worked together to rebuild their lives and return their heritage to glory. The Langtang Village was then built all over again at a place slightly uphill. Although not to the earlier scale, its teahouses are bustling again with life. Trails have been completely restored and the routes that had been blocked by landslides and avalanches are cleared. Connectivity has improved and tourism has returned with full force. Today, the rebuilt structures and villages stand as symbols of strength, courage and resilience.
The Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek is situated at an altitude of approximately 3,870 meters (12697 feet) in the region of Langtang National Park in the Rasuwa District of Nepal's Bagmati Province.
Langtang Kyanjin Gompa is a moderate to difficult trek that takes around 9 days to complete. As far as landscapes are concerned, it has diverse topography spanning from start to finish. Initially, the trail is a gradual ascent and later on you’ll have to take a steady uphill climb.
The accommodation at every campsite on Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek is provided in teahouses. They generally offer twin-bedrooms, delicious meals, charging, Wi-Fi, and hot showers.
The ideal time to do the Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek are Autumn season (September to Mid-October) and spring/summer season (March to May). During these months, the weather remains stable, skies are largely clear for nice views, and temperatures are quite comfortable.
The Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek is one of Nepal’s most incredible destinations. It offers a wide range of attractions that are unique to this region, such as: 360-degree panoramic views from Kyanjin Ri (4,773 meters 15660 feet) and Tserko Ri (5,000 meters 16404 meters), Kyanjin Gompa Monastery, Yak cheese factory, beautiful landscapes, wildlife sightings, Tamang and Sherpa culture, high-altitude glacial walks, and stunning Latang Valley.
Latang Valley is also known as “valley of glaciers” because of the breathtaking snowfields that surround it. The valley is filled with scenic beauty with a rich Tibetan-influenced heritage. Despite being easily accessible from Kathmandu, this trek is less crowded and peaceful. Latang Valley is also a gateway to the popular “Tamang Heritage Trail”.
The Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek typically takes 9 or 10 days to conclude. It also requires 1 to 2 extra days for acclimatization. During the best season, the trek is perfectly suitable for trekkers with basic fitness.
To prevent AMS, you need to climb slowly and gradually; limit your altitude gains to 300 to 500 meters per day above 3,000 meters; at least 2 to 3 liters of water intake daily; avoid alcohol and smoking; and eat foods rich in carbohydrates. The symptoms of AMS are: headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and disturbed sleep.
For this trek, you have to be prepared physically and mentally. You should start preparing for it at least a month earlier. The physical fitness includes Cardiovascular training: Build stamina through cycling, running, swimming, or brisk walking.
Leg muscles training: Engage in hiking, stair climbing, squats, and lunges.
Back training: Practice carrying at least 10 kg backpack daily and mimic climbing with it.
The mental preparation includes meditation, breathing exercises, and yoga. You can do these for at least half an hour.
Langtang National Park is one of the most scenic places in the wilderness of Nepal Himalayas. Established in 1976 and spanning across 1,710 square kilometers, it is a protected area due to its diversity. Langtang National Park is home to a wide range of wildlife, including the red panda, snow leopard, and Himalayan tahr, as well as hundreds of bird species.

Since the inception of Trek The Himalayas, countless trekkers have chosen us to be a part of their trekking journey. Some experiences were learning moments, while many of you returned time and again, allowing us to be part of your most unforgettable adventures. Over the years, we have continuously evolved, improving our operations, and every detail that shapes your experience.

Through it all, you have shown us that we are not just another trekking company to you, we are family. Your trust, loyalty, and love mean more to us than words can express, and we cherish every step we have taken together in the mountains.
As a small way of giving back and saying thank you for choosing us again and again, we are excited to introduce something special: our heartfelt expression of gratitude to our valued and loyal trekkers.
We are launching two amazing policies to make your trekking journey even more exciting
YES! Not one, but TWO unbelievable policies
In the TTH Trek Ambassador Policy, anyone who has completed four treks with us gets the fifth trek absolutely free. You can choose from a variety of treks that we offer in himalayan states of India including Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and West Bengal. You just need to start creating your trek bucket list and we are here to help you accomplish it.
Thinking, “I have already done more than 6 treks with TTH, what about me?” In this case you automatically qualify for the policy and therefore, your next trek will be on us . In fact, for every 8 treks you complete, 2 treks are on us.

As Unbelievable as it Sounds, Your 5th Trek is Sponsored by Us - Choose any Trek You Love
Love the Chadar Trek? It could be free! Your dream treks including Markha Valley, Bali Pass, Pin Bhaba Pass, or Lasermo La Trek (launching soon) can be yours at no cost under this policy.
Just like five stars make a perfect set, you are that fifth star for TTH. But this star does more than shine; it guides and inspires. You will share your tips, your stories, your experiences, and help new trekkers enjoy the journey as much as you do. That’s why this trek is special, and it’s your chance to be a TTH Trek Ambassador on the trail.
Being an avid trekker comes with excellent trekking knowledge and experience, and we would love you to share that and guide fellow trekkers along the way.
You will be introduced as our TTH Trek Ambassador to your fellow trekkers. Your experiences will glorify the shine of treks! And we can't wait, just to see how you make the journey just as beautiful as the Himalayan trails themselves!
What about those who are just getting started?
Those who are just starting their trekking journey are also eligible for this policy, they just need to complete any four treks/expeditions with us (weekend treks, panch kedar excursion, and multi-sport adventures count too) and they will get the chance to become a TTH Trek Ambassador with their fifth trek absolutely free of cost.
After you become a TTH Trek Ambassador with Trek The Himalayas, you will unlock our Loyal Customer Policy, a perk that keeps giving every time you share the joy of trekking.
Once you complete all four treks with TTH, you receive a unique referral code that you can share with your friends and family.
When someone books a trek using your code, you will receive trek points based on the difficulty level of the trek and the referred trekker will receive the same amount of discount while booking the trek. Here is the breakdown of the trek points and discount you and your friend will get.
Kindly Note: 1 Trek Point = 1 Rupee
These trek points get added to your loyalty points balance and you can redeem these points while booking for your next trek. The more you refer, the more your balance grows.
For Example :
If you collect 15,000 as your trek points, you can use them to book any trek within that value. As your balance grows, the possibilities expand and you could use your points for treks and expeditions of higher value anywhere in India, and abroad. Your loyalty points open the door to all kinds of trekking experiences in India and Internationally.
Another great part of this policy is its flexibility. You won’t believe it, but you can also transfer these loyalty points to anyone you like if you’re unable to use them yourself. You can either share or split them with friends or family.
You can also track your loyalty points balance anytime in your TTH dashboard, and we will also keep you updated through notifications whenever the trek points are added or redeemed
This initiative is our way of appreciating trekkers who continue to walk with TTH again and again. When you complete four treks with us, you reach an important milestone in your trekking journey. Your fifth trek is then offered by TTH as a gesture of appreciation. You will step in as a TTH Trek Ambassador, sharing your stories and inspiring others with your experience. Along with this, you also unlock Loyal Customer policy in which you can earn the trek points by sharing the referral code with your friends and family.
If your upcoming trek is your fifth trek with TTH, the trek fee for that trek will be completely waived. To ensure smooth planning, you need to register and make the full payment at the time of booking. Once you successfully complete the trek, TTH will refund the eligible trek fee within a week.
Please note that GST and trek insurance are fixed mandatory charges, so they will not be refunded. Any optional add-ons, like transport, gear rental, offloading, or special meals, are also outside the refund scope.
Yes, it absolutely can. And that’s what makes this policy special. If trekking in Ladakh has been your dream, this could be your moment. Iconic treks like Chadar Trek and Markha Valley Trek are available as options for your free fifth trek
Of course! A trek is a trek, and all your TTH treks, including weekend or two-day treks count toward your free fifth trek.
Yes, and this is one of the nicest parts of the policy. The free trek benefit works in groups of four treks. After completing four treks, your fifth trek is free. If you have completed eight treks, the benefit comes again, and your ninth and tenth treks will also be free. In short,for every four treks completed with TTH, you earn free treks along the way. The more you trek, the more TTH gives back.
Trek The Himalayas offers a wide range of treks be it easy to moderate treks like Kedarkantha, Har Ki Doon, Ranthan Kharak or moderate to difficult treks like Bali Pass, Pin Bhabha Pass or Chadar. By the time you complete four treks in the Himalayas, you have already grown into an experienced trekker.
Naturally, you would now like to prefer to take a step up and choose a difficult trek as your fifth one. Here is where Trek The Himalayas stands out as it offers a variety of difficult treks. And luckily all of them are qualified as free treks under the TTH Trek Ambassador policy. With TTH, you get a variety of trek options to choose from. You can pick a tougher trail or go for an Easy or Moderate trek; the choice is yours.
Yes definitely, we’re happy to offer this. Young trekkers bring fresh energy and enthusiasm to the trail, which makes the journey even more special. If your child has completed four treks with TTH, they can choose a Summer Camp as their fifth free trek.
You’ll be happy to know that any himalayan trek from easy to difficult level can be chosen as your free trek. The best part is that treks like Chadar Trek, Markha Valley, and many other beautiful himalayan treks are included. You may also choose higher-grade treks such as Bali Pass or Pin Bhaba Pass as part of your free trek.
As a TTH Trek Ambassador, your role goes beyond just trekking. You become a mentor on the trail. Someone who guides and shares real experiences with fellow trekkers. After completing multiple treks with TTH, you bring valuable knowledge and perspective that naturally encourages others and adds energy to the group.
Your stories and practical tips help first-timers and intermediate trekkers feel more comfortable and motivated. This is where your experience shines and lifts the overall trekking spirit of the group.
Challenging and peak summit treks, however, follow a slightly different approach. These treks are designed for highly experienced trekkers and climbers, where every participant is already well-prepared and self-driven. In such settings, there is limited scope for peer mentorship, as the structure and demands of the trek are very specific.
That’s why challenging and peak summit treks are kept outside the free fifth trek option, not because they are out of reach, but because the Trek Ambassador role is best experienced on trails where your guidance, encouragement, and shared journey can add value to others.
To claim your free trek, please send an email to info@trekthehimalayas.com, and our team will take it forward from there.
Yes, you do. You need to pay the full amount at the time of booking, just like any regular trek. Once you successfully complete the trek, we process the return of the eligible trek fee within one week. This process helps us plan treks better and ensures that all participants are fully committed.
Each spot on a trek involves planning, logistics, and local arrangements. If someone cancels at the last moment, it directly affects the team and the opportunity for another trekker. Collecting the payment upfront helps us manage this responsibly. Once you complete the trek, the amount is returned as promised. If you cancel, the standard TTH cancellation policy applies.
To keep your trek planning smooth and fair, we collect the trek fee upfront. Last-minute cancellations can affect team arrangements and local logistics, so this pay-and-refund process keeps everything running smoothly while still giving you this special benefit fairly.
The trek that you actually complete as your fifth eligible trek will be considered under this initiative. Even if you have several treks booked in advance, the benefit applies to the trek that completes your fifth-trek milestone.
All four treks must be registered under a single email ID. This helps us confirm that the same person has completed all four treks with TTH. Please ensure your records are linked to one email ID.
The free fifth trek is only valid for treks within India. International treks, including those in Nepal or other countries, don’t qualify as your free trek. However, any international trek you’ve completed does count toward your total number of treks with TTH.
Each unique trek you complete adds to your total. If you repeat a trek you’ve already done, it won’t be counted toward your free fifth trek.
The free trek includes only the trek fee itself. Any extra costs like trek insurance, transport, gear rentals, offloading, or special meals are not included and will need to be paid separately.
To be eligible for the free fifth trek, we count only treks you’ve completed with TTH. But don’t worry, even if you’ve done weekend treks, pilgrimages, or international treks with us, they all contribute to your count. By the time you’re eligible, you’ve likely completed more than four treks with TTH anyway.
The Loyal Customer Policy is a special perk for TTH Trek Ambassadors. After completing four treks with Trek The Himalayas, you receive a referral code. When someone books a trek using your code, both you and the referred trekker earn trek points and discounts based on the difficulty level of the trek.
You become eligible for the Loyal Customer Policy after completing four treks with Trek The Himalayas and becoming a TTH Trek Ambassador. Make sure all your four treks must be unique.
A referral code is a unique code provided to you once you become a TTH Trek Ambassador. You can share this code with friends and family. When they use it while booking a trek, both of you receive trek points and discounts.
There is no limit to the number of trek points you can earn. The more you refer, the more points get added to your loyalty points balance, which you can redeem while booking your future treks.
There is no minimum limit for redeeming your trek points under this policy. You can start redeeming your rewards with as little as one trek point. Every trek point you earn holds value, giving you complete flexibility to use your points whenever and however you choose without waiting to accumulate a fixed number.
Yes! One of the best parts of the Loyal Customer Policy is that you can use your trek points to book any trek with TTH, including international treks.
This is the flexibility of the policy. You can easily transfer your points to friends and family, and they can use them for their own trek planning with TTH. Even if you want to split the points and use them with your friends, you can do that too and enjoy trekking together!
You can easily track your trek points anytime in your TTH dashboard. Also, we’ll keep you updated with notifications whenever points are added or redeemed, so you always know your balance.
No. Referrals must be for completely new members. Anyone who has already registered or trekked with TTH earlier will not be counted as a valid referral.
The Loyalty Customer accumulated points is valid for two years from the date it is issued.
