Things to Consider in the Langtang Valley Trek Packing List

1. Season of the trek

The Langtang Valley Trek packing list highly depends on the trekking season. The best seasons for Langtang Trek are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). These seasons offer stable weather conditions with very little chance of rainfall.

Along with that, the warm and favorable temperatures make this trek a pleasant adventure. Thus, if you decide to trek during these seasons, you can pack lightly with appropriate clothing and gear.

However, if you trek in the Winter season (December to February), the region’s temperature drops significantly. Thus, you must pack heavy with warm clothes to avoid the cold weather.

Similarly, The Summer season trek (June to August) is hot and humid with maximum rainfall. Hence, you will need proper raincoats and rain cover to trek in the region.

2. Weight of the Backpack

The weight limit of the luggage is 15 kg. Hence, you should only pack those essential items for the trek. If your baggage exceeds the weight of the boundary, then you can hire a porter.

3. Diverse geographical landscapes

The climate and the geographical landscape of the Langtang Trek are pretty diverse. The trek takes you from the low-altitude plains to the alpine forests of the region. Thus, pack your gear and clothing according to the climatic conditions.

4. Buying trekking gear and equipment

You can easily buy all the necessary trekking gear and equipment per Thamel’s Langtang Valley Trek Packing list. The trekking gear costs generally range from $500 to $1000. However, if you are not a keen traveler, you can rent the trekking gear and equipment at $2 per day from Thamel, Kathmandu, instead of buying the kit.

Everest Base Camp Trek Accommodation

Accommodation at Lukla

The Everest Base Camp Trek begins with a 40-minute scenic morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. As most of the flights are in the morning, most trekkers skip staying in Lukla and hike to the first stop at Phakding or Namche Bazaar. So, only a few trekkers stay in Lukla for their first night.

Many lodges and teahouses in Lukla offer high-standard accommodations. Additionally, you can find some good-quality hotels in Lukla.

Although they are slightly more expensive than the basic lodges and teahouses, the service you will receive is far better.

Accommodation at Phakding

After Lukla, your first stop will be at Phakding. Parking is a village located in the Dudh Koshi river valley, a 3- to 4-hour walk from Lukla.

Phakding has enough hotels on both sides of the river. The teahouse offers you an affordable and convenient accommodation service. If you have a bit more budget, you can also choose to stay in a luxurious hotel.

Accommodation at Namche Bazaar

Namche Bazaar, known as the “Gateway to the Everest Region,” is a central stop on the Everest Base Camp Trek. Most trekkers spend 2 to 3 days in Namche to acclimate and adjust to their Everest Base Camp Trek; Namche Bazaar is a famous village with several high-quality teahouses.

And it is the last place on the trail to enjoy the high-quality service. Namche Bazaar is also famous for the Everest View Hotel, a 5-star hotel at the highest altitude in the world. Additionally, there are several lodges, hotels, and rest houses, ranging from sophisticated to simple, for your comfortable stay.

Namche also features bakeries and cafes, where you can enjoy tea and coffee and take a break.

Above Namche, places like Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorekshep offer basic accommodation.

Accommodation at Tengboche

Tengboche is another famous stop on the Everest Base Camp Trek trail. It is 3,867 meters above sea level—the largest monastery in the Khumbu region. You can get a breathtaking view of the Himalayas from the top of the monastery.

Only 4 to 5 teahouses in Tengboche provide essential accommodation services. There will be more basic tea houses with basic facilities on the trails.

Most trekkers stop at Tengboche to attend the morning prayer in the monastery. Therefore, the teahouse is often fully booked during the peak season.

Accommodation at Dingboche

Dingboche is another major trekking stop during the EBC Trek. Almost every trekker stays in Dingboche for an extra day to acclimatize. The village is more significant than Tengboche, comprising a dozen lodges and teahouses offering basic accommodation facilities. You can also find a handful of shops, a bakery, and even an internet cafe.

Accommodation at Lobuche

On the EBC trail, Lobuche is where you’ll find several basic teahouses. The teahouse is comfortable and cozy. The teahouse provides a pillow and blankets in the room. So, don’t expect anything more.

However, the teahouse will soon become easily crowded during the peak season. If the rooms are packed, you may have to adjust your stay in the dormitory. But it won’t matter after a long, tiring day of walking.

Accommodation at Gorakshep

Gorekshep is the last stop of the Everest Base Camp Trek. There are only four tea houses with basic accommodation facilities. Since there are only a few lodges, they fill up quickly. So, you might have to share a room with other trekkers or sleep in the dining room.

What is the price range for tea houses in the EBC trek?

The accommodation cost for the EBC trek depends on the altitude and time of year you are trekking. The accommodation cost is comparatively higher during the peak season (March-July and September-November) than in the off-season.

The average accommodation price ranges from $15 to $30 per night.

Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness is a significant difficulty that you may face during the trek. Everest Base Camp Trek is a high-altitude trek in Nepal that starts at 1300m at Kathmandu, taking you up to 5545m at Kalapatthar. Thus, most trekkers may face the symptoms of altitude sickness while trekking along the trail.

Anyone can feel the symptoms of altitude sickness at any time of the year, despite the trekking season. So, you must be very careful about altitude sickness.

You must be familiar with the symptoms of altitude sickness to help yourself and others. Here are the symptoms of altitude sickness:

• A headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness
• Loss of appetite
• Heart rate increment
• Difficulty in sleeping

If you find any of these symptoms happening to you, don’t push yourself harder and think you will be fine. These symptoms won’t pass. Thus, let your group and your guide know about your health condition. Here are some of the measures you can follow if you see any of the symptoms during the trek:

• Walk back to a lower altitude if possible.
• Do not smoke or drink.
• Take some medicine.
• Drink lots of water. Hydration is the key.
• Do not stress your body or walk until you feel better. You might have to take a rest for the next 48 hours.

Trekking Route Difficulty

As already mentioned above, there is very little chance of rainfall and snow in October. Thus, the trekking trail is less complicated than in winter and monsoon months. You won’t have to walk on slippery and snowy trails. Walking in the rough terrain season covered in snow or wet mets challenges in other months, like monsoon season and winter.

But in October, you will walk on a dry trail under bearable temperatures in the Everest region.

Difficulty in Finding Accommodation

The Everest Base Camp trek trail consists of many teahouses and lodges offering food and accommodation. However, since October is the peak time for EBC Trek, these teahouses are easily packed due to the massive inflow of trekkers. Thus, finding accommodation can be pretty tricky in October.

So, you may have to share the room with fellow trekkers due to the limited number of rooms and services in the teahouses. Thus, it is a better idea to pre-book accommodation. You may have to sleep in the dining room if you have not made advanced bookings.
