Trip Information of Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek

Best Time

The best time to participate in Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek is from late September to November, during the charming autumn months. During this period, the winter snow along the path to the Pass melts, and the sacred Teen Pokhari and Panch Pokhari will be unfrozen, offering breathtaking views of the mountains.

The second most favorable time is in spring, from March to May. However is the best for Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek, as winter gradually recedes, it is possible to encounter snow and ice along the trail; the weather may be cloudy, and the lakes may remain frozen.

Elevation and Distance

Our Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek will take us to the maximum elevation of 5320m above sea level. If we choose to climb the high peak of Tesrgo Ri at 5033 m when acclimatizing at Kyanjin Gumpa, this would be the second highest point of our entire trek.

The Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek entire  from Langtang Valley spans 80 km, whereas our latter destination, Panch Pokhari in Helambu, lies 70 km away from Kathmandu.

We must allocate 20 days to complete this trek on foot. Each day, we will cover a substantial distance of 13 to 15 km, walking for approximately 5 to 7 hours.

Maximum/Minimum walk per day

During our 20-day journey to Tilman Pass, we have allocated 15 days for hiking. We will walk 5 to 7 hours daily throughout our hiking journey. However, on day 7, we spend an acclimatization day at Kyanjin Gumpa. If we choose to ascend Kyanjin Ri, we will hike only for 3 to 4 hours, which is the minimum walk undertaken during our entire trek.

Conversely, on day 10, as we move on to cross the Tilman Pass and descend to Yak Kharka, we have to exert ourselves to walk for 8 hours. This leg of our trek is the maximum walking duration of our whole trek.

Difficulty and Acclimatization

The Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek is a demanding high-altitude nature trek aimed at those who are in good physical shape and have significant sporting activity, particularly endurance. While physical health is a must, excellent mental skills are also needed, which can enable the participants to cope with difficulties that are unforeseen in nature.

It is a 20-day hike with stages averaging 6 to 8 hours of walking per day and up to 1,400 m of elevation gain. We need to cross one High Pass over 5,000 m. therefore, you must be familiar with mountaineering techniques, crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and fixed ropes. Weather conditions and isolation can make this expedition more difficult.

We have planned this trek with a deliberate acclimatization day at Kathmandu and Kyanjin Gumpa. Before approaching the Pass, we will gradually gain altitude at a slow pace, with 3 to 5 hours of walking duration, so our bodies can adjust to the thin air of a highly elevated zone.

Can a beginner join this trek?

In our Langtang Valley with Tilman Pass Trek, the use of mountaineering equipment (crampons, harnesses, ice axes, ropes, etc.) is necessary, but the route covered does not involve any technical difficulty. So, it is the appropriate trip for beginner mountaineers who have practiced a little or have completed a few courses.

Preparation and training

We recommend starting an extensive training program early on to prepare for the Langtang Valley With Tilman Pass Trek. Systematic training should begin at least 6 months before the start of the undertaking in order to prepare the body for the expected stress. The best sports are jogging, hiking, cycling, and, of course, mountaineering.

In addition, strength endurance training with sit-ups, push-ups, squats, or going to the gym doesn’t hurt.

Alternate Route

We can first explore the Panch Pokhari and Teen Pokhari as an alternate route to Tilman Pass. Then, we can cross the Tilman Pass and continue our trek to Langtang Valley in the latter part of our trip. For this, we have to drive to Chautara from Kathmandu and trek through the scenic landscape of Sano Okhareni, Kami Kharka, Pauwa Bas, Hille Bhanjyang, Panch Pokhari, and Teen Pokhari.

After successfully crossing the Tilman Pass, we can then descend to Kyanin Gumpa and Syabrubesi.

Altitude Sickness

On our 20-day trip to Tilman Pass, you will mostly spend nights at an altitude of more than 3000 m. Therefore, the risk of altitude sickness is probable. However, it does not threaten tourists who regularly exercise, sleep 8 hours daily, and properly acclimate on site. For normal well-being, it is necessary to gain altitude gradually (no more than 500-700 meters per day), not overheat or become hypothermic on the route, and drink plenty of fluids.

Transportation, Meals and Drink

In terms of transportation, we provide transfers from and to the airport by private minibus or car. At the beginning and end of the trip, you will have a comfortable private ride in a jeep, car, or bus (based on group size).

Regarding meals, breakfast is included in Kathmandu. At lunch and dinner, you will have the opportunity to discover typical local cuisine. Breakfastfast, lunch, and diareer are included and served in the during trek lodge. The basic ingredients are rice, pasta, lentils, potatoes, vegetables, eggs, bread, dumplings, etc.

During tent accommodation, our kitchen team will prepare the meal. You can have unlimited food, tea or coffee with cookies, fresh fruits after dinner, and hot water.
Apart from these included menus, other drinks and foodstuffs will be at your expense.

Communication, Gadgets charging, and Internet/wifi

During the initial phase of our trip, you will have the convenience of communicating through NTC or NCELL mobile networks. When staying overnight at local lodges, you can also charge your devices and access WIFI at an extra cost excluded from our service.

However, in the lower part of our journey, we approach the Tilman Pass and traverse through the authentic virgin villages where we may not have the luxury of these services. So we suggest carrying power banks and using a mobile data package for internet access.

Permits

For the most part of the trek, we will be hiking through the restricted area of Langtang National Park. Therefore, we have to obtain a Langtang National Park permit for our Langtang Valley with the Tilman Pass trek. Additionally, we also need a TIMS card as the trek is considered one of the most challenging high-altitude treks in Nepal.
