What To pack For Your Langtang Trek?
Essentials:
Trekking shoes: Sports shoes and sneakers are best avoided because they tend to get slippery on surfaces with low traction. Get a good pair of trekking shoes with ample grip and protection.
Backpack: A backpack with a capacity of 40-60 litres should suffice. It should have a supporting frame, sturdy straps and a rain cover as well.
Others:
Clothes: Three warm layers, three trek pants and three collared t-shirts are a must for this trek, apart from the thermals obviously.
Sunglasses: To save your eyes from the glare of the sun and snow.
Suncap: While walking on the mountain slopes the sun feels a little more intense so it is advisable to carry a suncap.
Torch: It is one of the essentials which might come in really handy once the sun sets.
Trekking pole: It improves your overall stability and balance while trekking on rough surfaces.
Water bottles: Make sure that you bring your own water bottle which you can refill after every stop.
Personal medical kit: A personalised medical kit with all the important medications and other stuff like ointments and band-aids is always recommended.
Know Before You Go To Langtang Trek
By air: Since the route starts from Kathmandu in Nepal, the most feasible and accessible option to reach there is by air. Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport is well connected with the rest of the world, including India as well. After reaching Kathmandu, everything else will be arranged by our own representatives. This includes intercity travels as well.
By Road: One can also enter Nepal by road and Kathmandu is well connected by the rest of Nepal but since the journey is going to be very tedious, our advice is to stick to an aeroplane.
The whole adventure activity is going to last for 10 days so needless to say, it would be really helpful if you start working out a little before the tour commences. Endurance and strength training will go a long way in ensuring that your experience is elevated even more. Here are some more important tips for trekkers:
Stay hydrated: Even though one doesn’t feel that thirsty in the mountains, it is still essential to keep yourselves hydrated all the time.
Carry energy bars: Although food arrangements are done by the operator, it would come in really handy if you carry some munchies with you all the time.
Respect the locals and their traditions: A major highlight of this trip is to experience the local Tibetan and Tamang culture. It is advisable to be respectful to the locals and remember the fact that you’re a guest in their country.
Avoid alcohol: Alcohol has many adverse effects, especially when you have to undertake a tedious physical activity like trekking in the mountains. Avoid alcohol to stay focused and energised all the time.
Carry enough liners: The Himalayas tend to get super chilly when the sun sets so it is advisable to carry enough liners to save yourselves from the cold.
