Join us and other like-minded adventurers from 18-30 Apr 2023 as we embark on an expedition to Langtang Valley Trek in Nepal!
Langtang Valley Trek
Ever dreamed of summiting a mountain? Unfortunately, summit expeditions can be a little daunting because of the required expertise, being incredibly pricey or (in most cases) both!
That’s where the Langtang Valley trek comes in, a trek that allows us to experience what it’s like to summit a mountain, but at a lower altitude and at a lower price!
Slowly growing in popularity, the Langtang Valley trek allows us to summit 2 peaks, Kyanjen Ri peak (4771m) and Tserko Ri peak (5000m). We’ll experience beautiful sceneries along the expedition, but nothing will come close to summiting an actual mountain.
Embark on a journey to your next crazy destination
If you’re looking for hiking buddies, here’s the perfect chance!
On this expedition, leave the planning to us! All you gotta do is clear your schedule (18-30 Apr 2023), book your flights, and be prepared for a lot of fun!
BONUS: You’ll be travelling with The Travel Intern Content Experts who will act as your personal photographers. Feel free to ask for advice on framing your shots and receive beautifully edited photos and a special trip video at the end of the trip to remember the breathtaking moments. We’ll also hold an optional photography and editing workshop exclusively for participants so you have the basics down before the trip.

Itinerary (13 days, 12 nights)
Day 1
Arrive in Kathmandu — meet up with your new travel pals and explore the city. Do some last-minute shopping for essential gear and rest early before the start of the expedition!
Day 2
The expedition begins with a 3-hour drive to the trek’s starting point.
Day 3-11
The Langtang Valley Trek is a manageable trek, but not one to be taken lightly. In 3 days of trekking, we’ll reach an altitude of 4400m. The sudden change in altitude may be challenging for some. The days of ascension will be challenging, with several days trekking over 1000m in altitude gain.
This trek will require your body to adjust quickly. Don’t worry, with a good plan and personal training, we’ll summit together!
And it’s not going to be all pain. Get ready for a visual treat as we pass through valleys flanked by stunning snow-capped mountains. Temperatures are expected to range from 17 to -5°C during this time of the year.
Day 12
After an epic 9-day hike through the mountains, we take a jeep down to Kathmandu — back to civilisation and a nice warm shower!
Day 13
Apart from hiking, Kathmandu is rich in culture! Take a stroll around Nepal’s capital and visit the old historical places like Bhaktapur, Patan, Boudha Stupa! But if you want something more exciting, book a slot to raft down the Tirsuli River. Let us know what you’re interested in and we’ll organize it for you 🙂

Qn: How is this trip different than going on my own?
Trips to exotic destinations are more fun with a big group! But not everyone has friends that are willing to jump onto an adventure at a moments notice! We planned this trip so that you can meet other fellow adventurers, people different walks of life that are equally as passionate about travel!
With the local expertise of our travel partner, we’ll get an intimate taste of our surprise destination’s culture, especially the authentic, rugged experiences that most tourists don’t have access to.
What’s more, our Travel Intern Content Experts will be on the ground as your personal photographers. We’ll be producing a trip video and edited photos for you to remember all the epic moments. Aspiring photographers can also attend our pre-trip photography workshop specially for trip participants, and we’ll guide you in taking and editing photos during the trip itself!
Qn: Are flights included in my trip?
International flight to and fro are not included in the cost of this trip! We believe in giving travellers the ability to determine how long they’d like to travel for and where they’d want to travel from, so flights can be booked independently.
Qn: Who is this trip suitable for?
If you’re adventurous, open-minded, and excited to immerse in a new culture, this is the trip for you! You should be able to carry a 5kg bag and walk for 7hrs a day, with breaks in between!
You should also be ready to embrace the great outdoors. Though we will have comfy hotels and Western-style toilets in town, restroom and shower facilities during the trek will be a little more basic.
Qn: Is this trip open to all nationalities?
All nationalities are welcome to join.
Let us know where you’re from during the application! If you need a visa, we’ll help you out with the info required for the application.
Qn: Who will be on the trip?
We’re looking for 8 fun-loving travelers who’d love to explore together! Whether you’re a solo traveler or want to tag along with some friends, you’re in for a great time. Rounding off the team are our Travel Intern Content Experts, local expedition guide and porters
Qn: How safe is this trip?
We will take the following precautions for a smooth and safe trip:
- Travelling in a big group of at least 8 people
- A local guide will accompany us at all times, with firsthand knowledge of the areas
- Travelling in a private all-terrain vehicle with a local, experienced driver
Qn: Do I need a certain level of fitness?
Not really, this is a moderately easy trip that’s suitable for all ages! However, there will be long hours of hiking and we’ll be getting to a fairly high altitude of around 5,500m at some point in the trek so having a general level of fitness will be more enjoyable.
We’ll be hosting an optional training programme starting one month before the start of the expedition to ensure a base fitness level for all participants!
Qn: What should I pack?
Upon confirmation, we’ll be providing a detailed packing list specifically for this trip.
Qn: Do I need to bring any cash along?
Yes, you do! There are two R&R days of the trip for you guys to book optional extreme sports activities!
Activities available are paragliding, bungy jumping, white water rafting, mountain biking, zipline course and canoeing!
Qn: What will accommodation be like during the trip?
We’ll get to try different types of accommodation in, each promising a unique experience. In town, we’ll be staying in hotels, while on the trek, we’ll be in a mix of guesthouses and teahouses.
If you’ve got any accommodation requests, let us know and we’ll see what we can do. 🙂
