We trekked the Langtang Valley in Nepal in late March 2023 in partnership with Kathmandu-based trekking agency Himalayan Masters. Along with our guide, Govinda Rai, we trekked from Syabrubesi to Kyanjin Gompa (3865 m) over 4 days, via Sherpagaon, Thangshyap, and Langtang. We spent three nights in Kyanjin Gompa, giving us plenty of time to enjoy day hikes to both Kyanjin Ri (4586 m) and Tsergo Ri (4965 m).
These were the highlights of our Langtang Trek, and we were glad we took our time trekking up the valley in order to acclimatise well before embarking on these high altitude day hikes. On our way back down the Langtang Valley we spent one night at Lama Hotel, then joined the Gosainkunda trail shortly after Pairo.
You can watch our Gosainkunda trek film here - • Trekking Nepal: Gosain... - and read our guide here - www.goingthewholehogg.com/gos... and trail notes here - www.goingthewholehogg.com/gos....

One short film from our Langtang Valley trek just wasn't enough to share all the wonderful experiences we had on this trek with you, so here we present the full length version! We hope you enjoy seeing more beautiful scenery from the trail and much more from the guesthouses and villages we stayed at along the way. We have lots of info to help you plan your own Langtang trek over on the blog - www.goingthewholehogg.com/langtang-valley-trekking-route-guide/ and www.goingthewholehogg.com/langtang-valley-trek-guide/ - so check these out if you're keen to experience this trail for yourself. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Kim & Del
Great video. I've watched countless Nepal trekking videos. At the 20:17 time mark is the encounter with the monkey. That is something I've never seen until your video.. great capture. 👍
Thanks very much. We definitely felt lucky to see langur monkeys on a few occasions on this trek, and actually, our guide Govinda did a great job of looking for them and pointing them out 🙂
Beautiful video and hardly a word spoken. In this time of relentless cacophony you manage to tell a story only with visuals and lovely editing. Salute guys.
Thank you for that. We really enjoy telling a story in this way so it means a lot to get this kind of feedback. Thanks again 🙂
Great comment. Took words out my mouth. The simplicity and no over bearing dialogue and way to loud constant background music. Even when you do hear some music you can still hear everything in background. I dont like comparisons. But i compare this to a Werner Herzog's film. Some of the shots you capture really puts the viewer in lang tang valley. What a gift for everybody who gets the opportunity to watch this.
Well, never thought to be mentioned in the same sentence as Werner Herzog… thanks again for your kind words 🙂
It's a wonderful story that I came across. Above all, the visual beauty was impressive. It gave me the vividness of being on the spot. What kind of lens do you use? For example, angle of view, such as 24mm or 35mm. These videos inspire me. I also want to make this kind of video. You must have put a lot of effort into making the video. It's a video that deserves more attention and praise.👍🏻
Heaven
Thanks for watching and appreciating!
Awesome video with wonderful landscape and beautiful mountains❤❤..also the bts was epic😊😊
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, and yes the scenery is incredible! All those extra miles Del has to do to fetch the camera, it's worth sharing 😄!
Breathtaking! Incredible! Spectacular! Every time you are at a remote challenging spot, like a river crossing or an awkward bridge or a Iandslide I can't help but think 'oh boy, you'll need to come back for the camera' :D but here it's filmed so seamlessly, so I try not to give it too much thought. Good luck with your future trips and stay safe! :)
Thank you so much! Well, it’s all part of getting those shots… have to say it’s a thought sometimes. Happy to know it comes across as seamless. Thanks again 😃
Nice video of your trekking journey and really enjoyed it.
Happy to hear it, very glad you enjoyed it 😃
I always look forward to watching your adventures.
Very happy to hear it Douglas, thanks very much 🙂
So good!!!
Thank you so much Pam!
My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
Huge thanks to you, so very much appreciated 😃
What sheer escapism, I've loved everything about your story. I particularly enjoy the interaction with your guide and the locals, it adds a dimension that creates more atmosphere. What stunning vista's too. Oldtimer Englishman whose big hiking days are behind me now, so thankyou.
Great to know Martin, thanks. We debated how we were going to structure and share these videos, thinking that this full version was perhaps too long for some people. But we just had so many good moments with Govinda and the locals that we couldn’t not share it all. First time doing it this way so will be interesting how it pans out. Anyway, really glad to hear you enjoyed it, thanks again 🙂
🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🎉🙏🏼🙏🏼🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️ Mind-blowing. Inspiring and motivating.
Huge thanks for that, very much appreciated 🙌😃
@@GoingTheWholeHogg 🙏🏼😊
Really enjoyed this beautiful, peaceful video. Thank you.
Happy to hear it, thanks very much 😃
Great video you have inspired me to go here
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and appreciating!
Very nice editing, knowledge of Photography and bay the way... Trek ;)
Thanks very much, glad you appreciate it. And as for the trek itself, we very much enjoyed it, there’s lots to recommend it 😃
Stunning... Heavenly views
Thanks… it’s pretty special up there 😃
I love this guys! You’re a source of constant inspiration to me :)
Thanks Zac! Really appreciate it mate 😃
Wow. Really appreciate your work.
Thanks Sonam! Your guesthouse was our favourite of the trek, loved our stay in Kyanjin Gompa 😊
Awesome. Learnt a new way of washing clothes on the go!!!
Ha, yeah it works really well! Been using the Scrubba since 2017 and still going strong 😃
Beautifully produced Film.
Thanks very much
Beautiful video
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing journey.
This was a great trek with a mix of beautiful landscapes, high altitude hiking, and cultural interest. Loved it!
Just catching up.. Merry Christmas to you both ❤
And to you 🎄😃
Excellent video! Looking into which trek(s) to choose and this video was incredibly useful.
Thanks very much, glad it was helpful! 😃
so del walked twice the trek :) anyway a nice one really!!
A fair bit extra, that’s for sure! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
I’m new in your channel! Wow amazing view of Langtang
Thanks for watching and getting in touch! The Langtang Valley is amazing indeed 😃
I really appreciate all your efforts to video your journey.👍👍👍
Thank you!
Really nice video .... Inspired me to make video like these.....
Thanks very much! That’s great, good luck with your own videos 🤞
First time watching your video and all the questions are answered at the end of the video 🤣
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Excellent video, Del! I was last there in 1998, so it was great to have a memory-jog. Looks more commercialised now... but maybe for the better... who could complain about a few bakeries popping up! Thanks for your hard work taking and editing this. I intended to watch for ten minutes, but couldn't tear myself away! Fabulous!
Hey, great to hear from you! And thanks! Would say it has definitely developed somewhat. A French couple we met had been there before in 2010 and said it changed hugely, so guessing there’s been even more of change since 1998. Still not overdeveloped though and trekking is a great opportunity to develop the local economy, which many enterprising locals are taking full advantage of. That you couldn’t tear yourself away… we couldn’t ask for more! Kim’s the editor in chief though. I (Del) do most of the shooting and she takes over in post to make the film, before handing it back to me for colour correction/grading. Thanks again! 😃
@@GoingTheWholeHogg Ah!... 100% team effort... didn't realise. Credit to both! Guessing you both trained as film makers. Yes, Langtang could have changed a lot since '98... I struggled to recall any of it as I didn't take photos at the time.... so a special treat for me to relive the experience!
Actually we both came from completely different backgrounds before doing this, just a couple of self-taught filmmakers trying to find our way. Glad we could help you relive the experience, and thanks again for watching and getting in touch 😃
@@GoingTheWholeHogg Impressive! Maybe that's the secret of your success.... being self-taught. If you were film-maker graduates, your product might have been more contrived and 'arty'.
Haha, maybe! Ah well, it is what it is. We try to do it honestly and happy for it not to be contrived 👍
❤🎉❤really nice video😊😊
Thanks very much! 😃
Great video as always, particularly enjoyed the last few minutes ;) Seriously though, I doubt I'll ever have the opportunity to visit these places so it makes me so happy to see them from your perspective.
Thanks Fiona, appreciate you taking the time to watch the whole thing and for getting in touch too, happy to get your feedback. Hehe, yeah the last few minutes certainly take me (Del) back to the reality of the trek 😅. Happy to know you enjoyed it, thanks again 😃
Come to me next winter, i come back Annapurna trek?!
@ Trekking Nepal's
I have to leave a comment on main comments. This is a must watch. The shots are beautiful and astounding. I was wondering how this was a film instead of a usual video. Not to spoil it for anybody. But I was thinking how are they getting these shots. You only had 1 guide and he was with yall in a lot of the shots. There was more walking involved in the trek than people think or was captured. There was lot of going back and forth to retrieve the camera. I'm saving this to my Favorites list.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a great comment. We really appreciate the feedback and support. A lot of hard work and effort went into this as you rightly point out, so we are really happy that it’s finding an audience and being well received. Your assessment is very much appreciated, thanks again 😃
Good and no commentary unlike other CZcamsrs to irritate the audience. A rare instance in these days of proliferation of YTubers. Commendable videography.
Much appreciated, thank you
❤️👌
Thanks!
love from india
Thank you!
It's a wonderful story that I came across. Above all, the visual beauty was impressive. It gave me the vividness of being on the spot. What kind of lens do you use?

Thank you, we’re very happy to hear you enjoyed it so much. It is a spectacular area and it was a pleasure to capture it. We usually use a 24-70mm zoom lens and the bulk of our shots are taken with this, and occasionally we use a 70-200mm lens for different shots when time and the situation allows. Thanks again for the appreciation 😃
30:40 Never thought of washing clothes this way! Nice!
Yeah, the Scrubba is very handy! Been using it for years, it's great 🧦😃
I am going to underground in himalaya either in INDIA Or Nepal.
Great video. Thks for sharing. Which month did u do this trek? Tqvm
Thanks! It was in late March
Awesome video 🙌🏻 may I know when/ what season was this trip?
Thanks very much. We did this in the last week in March this year, 2023.
such a amazing camera work, it felt like movie level filming. If you dont mind me asking , what framerate majority of this film at? I assume this is slog2?
Thanks very much. All footage was shot at 24fps with a shutter speed of 1/50. Not S-Log2 but Cine2 on the Sony A7iii, using Leeming Luts to colour correct and FilmConvert as a base for colour grading
@@GoingTheWholeHogg thank you so much for your reply
Do you prefer LangTang Valley or Manaslu Trek?? I plan on going but cant decide which one to go
Oh, that’s a tough one. We really love the Manaslu Circuit. It has such great variety of landscapes, interesting cultural aspects, stunning mountain views, and a really spectacular mountain pass. The Langtang Valley also has great variety however, and although it’s mostly just up and back the same way, the high altitude day hikes from Kyanjin Gompa add a lot to the overall experience. The Langtang Valley is definitely a shorter trek and it will cost less, so if that’s a consideration it’s worth keeping in mind. But if we were to pick one purely on the experience alone then it would probably be Manaslu.
Very badly hit in the earthquake of 2015. Many communities wiped out entirely - affecting the whole of Nepal since Nepalese families spread out a lot. And I think many are still homeless
It was, particularly the village of Langtang itself. From what we saw though, the rebuilding effort has been considerable, with new structures being both more modern and better able to withstand future earthquakes. We also saw a strong sense of community, with prominent locals from different villages meeting and planning how best to develop the economy of the valley.
@@GoingTheWholeHogg good: they always seem very fatalistic to me, Nepalese people. Are they actually using mortar to buld now?
Somehow I doubt it!
A variety of different styles from big concrete block buildings to smaller ones in the traditional style, still with hand hewn bricks although with wooden beams between layers of bricks which I believe allows the building to ‘move’ in an earthquake situation. They are definitely more fatalistic - it comes with the culture and religion I think - although I suspect that’s changing with the influences of modernity.
Have you ever thought of taking on Mt. Everest?
That’s an altogether different kind of challenge. We prefer to trek rather than climb, plus, an Everest expedition is hugely expensive and is certainly beyond our means, regardless of any desire to do it.
