We begin the trek along the Langtang Khola River which traces a narrow gorge through bamboo, jungle, and temperate forest. Higher up, the valley widens and the trees gradually give way to alpine meadows. The Mt. Langtang Lirung (7,227m) dominates you up to the village of Kyanjin Gompa.

We at Alpinist Club Adventure organize an excellent trip for the trekkers who have included the Langtang region in their bucket list. Apart from this trek, the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek is also a popular trekking route from this region.

    • The Assistant Guide:  is actively helping clients under the leader’s direction and set camp. 
    • The Porter: is the load carrier for the trekking group. As Nepal is a mountain country with few roads, porters are employed to carry loads. Compliance with regulations and common courtesy dictates the maximum weight carried and the minimum wage paid. Porters are provided with gear based on the routes they follow and with insurance for alpine treks.
    (from 4 people of the group of trekkers: we will provide 1 Leader Guide, 1 Assistant Guide, And 2 porters ). Nepalese teams depend on the Number of Clients and Area of trekking

    Medical check-up
    Being in good health is essential to enjoy your Alpinist Club trip fully. If your last medical visit was more than four years ago, please get another general physical exam and tell your doctor the nature of your trip (climate, altitude, difficulty, etc.). The altitude also has the effect of reviving dental problems or other chronic pain, so getting a dental checkup is also prudent. If you are undertaking a high-altitude expedition, we advise you to consult a mountain medicine specialist.

    Acute Mountain Sickness
    This trip takes place at high altitudes, so some people may experience altitude-related discomforts like headaches, loss of appetite, and swelling of limbs. Most of these symptoms usually go away within a few days, but sometimes they can develop into a serious illness: pulmonary or cerebral edema. There are no preventive drugs for AMS. Diamox diuretic is often effective for symptomatic relief, but you should first check with your doctor to verify that it is not contraindicated for you. Think about it before you go.
