Langtang is a narrow valley in central Nepal, close to the border with Tibet. It runs east to west between the Himalayas mountain range (8,848m) to the north and other slightly lower snow-capped peaks to the south, within the Langtang National Park (1,710km2). Langtang is one of Nepal’s main trekking regions, although less visited than popular routes like Everest (8,848m) or Annapurna (8,091m).
During our trip, we will take a loop trail starting and ending in Kathmandu (1,400m), Nepal’s capital and largest city, located about 30 kilometers away from the Langtang Valley. Kathmandu is the city with more UNESCO World Heritage Sites, therefore it is a must-see! We will devote the first day of our journey to visit its bazaars, squares, and architectural treasures.
During the following days, we will trek across the valley’s forests and grasslands, enjoying views to a stunning backdrop of high snowy mountains, such as the Langtang Lirung (7,227m). We will climb some of the lower peaks in the area, reaching a maximum elevation of 4,350m, visit glaciers, and discover beautiful ethnic villages. Along the way, we will spend the nights in camping or in typical local teahouses for trekkers.
For your reference, below you will find a detailed itinerary of the program.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
