Complete Travel Tips

Keep it simple: walk slowly, stay warm, drink enough water, and listen to your body.

• Spring (Mar–May): stable weather, rhododendron blooms, clear mountain views
• Autumn (Sep–Nov): clearest views, dry trails, peak trekking season
• Winter (Dec–Feb): very cold at higher altitudes, fewer trekkers, possible snow
• Monsoon (Jun–Aug): rain, leeches at lower altitudes, landslides possible

• Langtang is moderate altitude, but altitude sickness is still possible.
• Walk slowly and steadily; avoid rushing your itinerary.
• Include at least one acclimatization day (commonly at Kyanjin Gompa).
• Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol at higher elevations.
• If symptoms worsen, the safest option is to descend.

If you feel unwell, tell your guide/friends early and rest.

• Warm layers: base layer, fleece, down jacket, waterproof shell
• Proper trekking boots and extra socks
• Sun protection: sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm
• Headlamp, reusable water bottle, basic first-aid kit

• Drink at least 3–4 liters of water per day.
• Use boiled water, purification tablets, or filters.
