Langtang & the Laurebina La Traveller Reviews

This was advertised as a group trek, however as no-one else signed up, my wife and I paid slightly more to undertake the trek as a private departure. After one night at a comfortable hotel in Kathmandu, we were driven by jeep to the start of the trek, at Shyaphru Besi. The 15 day trek took us first of all up the Langtang valley to Kyanjin Gumba, where we spent 3 nights, allowing exploration of the beautiful upper Langtang valley, and an ascent of the viewpoint Kyanjin Ri. The itinerary allowed excellent acclimatisation in the Langtang valley, so after retracing ur steps down the valley, we were well prepared for the more rapid ascent to Gosainkund and over the Laurebina La pass in the second half of the trek. We had an excellent local sherpa guide, and an excellent porter to carry most of our luggage. We also personalised our trip, spending a few nights in India (Delhi and Agra) for sightseeing, on the way out and back.

This is the third time we have travelled with Mountain Kingdoms, and we remain very pleased with their service. The office staff are very helpful and efficient, and their trek itineraries appear to be very carefully planned to allow good acclimatisation to the altitude. All travel arrangements worked very smoothly.
