When To Visit
The Langtang Valley Trek is most enjoyable in the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). During spring, the valley comes alive with vibrant rhododendron blooms, creating a picturesque landscape, and the weather is mild and clear, offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Autumn, with its stable weather and clear skies, provides excellent visibility of the majestic Langtang mountain range. The temperatures are moderate during both seasons, making trekking comfortable, and the trails are in their best condition. Winter (December to February) is very cold and brings the possibility of snow, while the monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall and potential trail disruptions, making these periods less favorable for the Langtang Valley Trek.
