How do you prepare yourself for the Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek?
Unlike other popular Himalayan treks in Nepal, such as the Everest Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Circuit Trek, or Manaslu Circuit Trek, trekking to Langtang Kyanjin Gompa usually does not necessary to include hardcore training and exercises. It is no wonder that the fitter you are more enjoyable the journey becomes; however, for the Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek specifically, simple high-altitude hiking practices with a backpack can fulfill the requirements.
Therefore, for a better Langtang Kyanjin Gompa trek preparation, it is good to start training at least 2–3 months before the trek to build up your strength and endurance. Focusing on cardio exercises such as running, cycling, or hiking with a backpack loaded with 6–12 kg can help build stamina and get the real trekking feel along with strength. Since the trek reaches a higher altitude above 3,800 meters, it’s important to understand the health risks there, such as altitude sickness, and plan accordingly. So you must be mentally prepared for unexpected mountain weather, basic facilities, and long walking days.
What should you pack for the Langtang Kyanjin Gompa Trek?
For the Langtang Kyanjin Gompa trek, it's important to pack wisely to handle the Hilly and rocky paths and unexpected weather conditions. Layered clothing is the key and usually consists of the moisture-wicking base layer, insulating mid-layers, and a wind and waterproof outer layer to protect yourself against wind, water, and snow. Trekking pants, quick-dry shirts, and trekking shorts are to be comfortable while resting in tea houses. UV-protective sunglasses, a warm hat, and gloves, followed by trekking poles, are other must to haves.
For cold nights, you may have to carry a light yet warm sleeping bag that Skybound Adventure usually provides as a part of the comprehensive Langtang Kyanin Gompa Trekking package. As footwear is important for the Langtang trek. Consider getting waterproof, well-fitted trekking boots with good ankle support. If you are planning to trek from November to March, you might have to add ice cleats, along with a few pairs of thermal socks and regular socks. Other important things include medicines like pain relievers, altitude sickness medicine, and Band-Aids; reusable water bottles; and water purification tablets.
Don't forget toiletries, sunscreen with high SPF, lip balm, and wet wipes. A headlamp with extra batteries, a power bank, and maps are also important for better navigation. Keep your backpack as light as possible; if you hire a porter, remember there's a weight limit of 25 kg combined and shared between two trekkers, and your best friend lifting heavy weights for you in the remote Himalayas.
