Langtang & Morimoto Trek

Langtang & Morimoto Trek is one of our favourite trek and we’d be delighted to help you explore this impressive region in Nepal.

Morimoto High Camp Trek is the newly built trekking destination, its acquisition has the taste of exploration. Langtang Valley is the narrow valley near south of the Tibetan border inhabited by Tibetans and Tamang sharing similar religion, language, and clothing methods. The landscapes are extremely varied. We will pass through the impressive rhododendron forests, rice- terraces, pine forest and in the highest parts, a rock and shrub wilderness with the charming backdrop of snow-capped peaks.

The combine trek (Langtang, Gosaikunda, and Helambu) offers great diversity in both nature and culture. Langtang Valley is an important region for trade and a focal point for cultural exchange. It is relatively not a crowded area. The Langtang valley trekking up to Kyanjin Gompa is inhabited by Tamang whose religious practices, language and dress are much more to those of Tibetans and we trek to the glacier at the foot of Langtang Peak. We will observe the distinct lifestyle of the original inhabitants in Langtang village.

We will also get the chance to observe wild boar, deer, several types of monkeys and leopards. As soon as we cross the forest, we will have an impressive view of Langtang Lirung Mountain (7246m). The route then continues along with the Langtang mountain range with all the famous glaciers and beautiful snow-covered peaks. Our Morimoto High Camp Trek starts with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Lingling and starts our trek to Briddim village. The trekking up to Kyanjin Gompa is inhabited by Tamang people. We will observe the distinct lifestyle of the original inhabitants in Langtang village. Continuing our trek to Langshisa Kharka to Morimoto high Camp, the Upper Langtang valley offers us wonderful views of the moraine of Langtang Ri, Tilman Col, Langshisa Ri. Hike in the Langtang Valley and trekking to the Morimoto High Camp provides an unforgettable moment. Langtang & Morimoto High Camp trek helps to explore the culture and tradition of Tibetan communities living in the Langtang Valley.

Alternatively, we can continue and summit Morimoto Peak, as per the demand of travelers if they have more time but need an extra 3-4 days for the summit. Then steep descent down to Syabrubesi ends with a scenic drive to Kathmandu.
