We had a group of two, my son and me.
After checking several sites, we thought that Everest Trekking Routes would meet our requirements at most. We booked it directly and came in touch with Rabin Gurung, the owner. First through the mail and soon via WhatsApp.
As we were quite new to trekking, we had a lot of questions, Rabin answered very clearly and quickly. Communication was very good.
After booking the tour, Rabin suggested we stay at Kathmandu Suite Home, close to the Thamel area.
This was an excellent choice, quiet and good service.
During the tour, everything was taken care of by Rabin, from transport from the airport to the Hotel and backward and everything around the trekking.
The trekking itself was a lifetime experience. We had a great guide, Sandesh, who was looking after us, laughing with us, playing cards with us. Great guy. And we had a porter, Uncle. He is very strong. We felt a little awkward that he was carrying our 13kg bag, but this was not a problem for him, since he used to carry bags of over 30 kg.
Me and my son had an unforgettable experience.
I Would recommend everybody to book their next trek with Everest Trekking Routes. You can find the route that best suits you as they have a lot of choices.
It was my first time in Nepal and my first “long” trek, Rabin and Samuel from Everest Trekking Routes certainly made it one of the most memorable trip for me!
Prior to my booking, Rabin was very patient in answering my many questions. Communication was very smooth and easy. He warmly welcomed me at the airport and introduced me to my guide, Samuel, who will accompany me throughout the 7 days trip. They take care of all the logistics, permits, transports etc. ( there were many check points on the way so permits are essential)
Needless to say, Samuel did an excellent job, very professional and kind to me the whole trip. He is always available to assist, whether it’s to help carry my bag, help me to go down when I have some trouble with the knees, to showing the many animals along the way, or help fixing my shoes, he was always so accommodating, kind and helpful.
All the food and accommodations picked by them were very good and comfortable. Couldn’t have done this trip with so much joy without Samuel, big kudos!!!
Regarding the trek, the scenery is so surreal and varried. Snow capped mountains, glaciers, lush green valley, dense forest, rivers, many animals and beautiful flowers, you get to see it all on this trip. I will forget many things in my life but certainly, Langtang valley will always have a special place in my memories for its breathtaking beauty!!!!
For me, a woman in early 30s, regularly exercise, this was a moderate trek, there was some challenging parts but not that difficult. I don’t walk alot at home, but to complete 6hr walking every day on the trip for me wasn’t that difficult. We also got lucky with weather, clear sky for most days. Even when it’s rain a little and get foggy, it’s still so beautiful and mystic. Also you get to meet other trekkers along the way and gathering at teahouses, where we are served supper yummy fresh cooked dishes. It wad not crowded at all, or so I feel, cause I meat many people at the tea houses but along the way, you don’t really see anyone.
So well, what more can I say, do yourself a favor, book with them and enjoy the trip, you won’t be disappointed!!!
P. s: consider taking the jeep to go there, the road is terrible and many mountain passes with sharp u-turn corners.

I requested Mr. Rabin Gurung to have a guide/porter before starting my journey, and he sent a very experienced guide Mr. Phul to be my guide/porter. Mr. Phul has more than 25+ years of experience becoming a mountain guide. I had problems during the hike up to the mountain but Mr. Phul always gave me support all the way, he shared the newer things in the jungle with my brother along the trek.

Trekking with them for a week in Lang Tang National Park. The organiser mr Rabin and mountain guide mr Phul were very helpful and organised. Very recommended.

This is my second trek in the Himalayan mountains. Compared to ABC, I find the Langtang Trek to be tougher because I started to have mild mountain sickness on the first day after Bamboo while hiking from Syabrubesi to Lama Hotel (altitude gain of 950m). I’m very grateful to Biraj, my porter who was observant and offered to carry my backpack that day. The trail is moderately tough as we had to climb up for the first 3 days to Kyanjin Gompa – sometimes over uneven rocky steps, stepping on stones over shallow streams, some paths are steep, and some can be slippery due to loose stones. Thankfully, we have a team of porters (Maran, Biraj, Michael, Suk and Buddha) who were friendly, attentive and very helpful, ensuring that we have the best experience and that we are safe, often lending a helping hand especially when we had to hike over some difficult terrain. I give 5 stars rating to our team of porters!
The reward: a fantastic view atop Kyanjin Ri – it’s definitely worth the effort!
Sources by: TripAdvisor
Amazing and spectacular view especially at the peak of Tsergo Ri. Its one of my best memories with my friends and family. The porters are very helpful too. All in all, its a great and unforgettable experience for me.

My father and I pursued the 7-day Langtang trek from Shyphrubesi to the top of Kyanjin Ri. Our guide Bale was very well informed about the nature and the trekking conditions. He and our porter Aita were very friendly and we loved their humor. They made our trekking experience a blast. We will come back to Nepal for another trek with Bale & Aita. Further, the company „Everest Trekking Routes “ led by Rabin is very trustworthy and organized our trekking tour extremely well.

Thanks for making my Langtang trek dreams come true!
I feel very fortunate to have had Veer Gurung as my guide during my Langtang Valley trek! He was not only very helpful and supportive to me during the trek, but he also went above and beyond in helping many other trekkers along the trail. During our summit day of Tsergo Ri, we were met with a fair amount of snow. Veer pushed on when other guides may have shied away from the bad conditions. The next day, Veer was also willing to join me for an impromptu day hike not listed on the itinerary. Throughout the trek, he expressed concern and care about my condition and was always looking out to make sure I was having a good time. It was also fantastic to meet some of his friends and family members at the teahouses along the trek. In all, thanks for making my Nepal trekking dreams come true!
Notes about the Langtang Trek: This was my first trek in Nepal and I recommend it, particularly if you can’t squeeze in one of the longer treks. With that said, I will now for sure be back to do other treks! The trek never felt too crowded, and I loved how the trek slowly got more and more scenic over time. It is the third most popular trek in Nepal for a reason. If you have ambitions of climbing Kyanjin Ri and/or Tsergo Ri I suggest spending a couple of days (I spent 3 nights) in Kyanjin Gompa to give yourself time/flexibility. I was glad I had extra time to explore the area.
