Overview
Lamjung Himal Trekking is one of the lesser-known destinations in the Annapurna region and one of the rarely trekked routes. Its remote and rural trails are quiet and free from crowds, perfect for those exploring Nepal’s authentic beauty.
Lamjung Himal is located at the foot of the glorious Mount Lamjung. It is also one of the off-beaten trekking routes in Nepal. The journey to Lamjung Himal begins from 3500m from Marsyangdi George, which is very near Lamjung Himal. Moreover, the trip takes place between two of the biggest cities in Nepal: Kathmandu and Pokhara. Your journey begins with a drive from Besisahar to Kathmandu. Furthermore, there are three major peaks in the area. Manaslu Himal, Himal Chuli Peak and Lamjung Himal.
Also, the journey to the Lamjung Himal Base Camp is on the bucket lists of many passionate travelers. Since no hotels are in the Lamjung Himal region, this walk is planned as a camping excursion. Nepal’s paths with lodges are becoming more crowded, and a camping hike gives you access to a rural area where trekkers travel less.
Lamjung Himal Trekking is one of the treks in Nepal where you can enjoy the ultimate trekking and traveling. Trek on tranquil trails, witness mountain panoramas and learn about the unique culture and traditions.
The trail continues to drop down another ridge from Valley Camp. For three days, we follow this to Tangting Village. We set up camp at Kharkas around this ridge, which offers magnificent mountain vistas. We travel by car from Tangting to Pokhara. We spent two nights here watching the lakeside town before flying back to Kathmandu.

The difficulty of Lamjung Himal Trekking
The Lamjung Himal Trekking is a moderate and remote journey in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The trails leading to this hidden gem of the country require reasonable strength and stamina. Although prior experience is not necessary, having one helps. You must ascend and descend steep and off-beat trails with rough and rocky terrains. Trekking on such rough trails for 5 to 6 hours daily is physically and mentally demanding.
Another difficult part of the Lamjung Himal Trekking is the area’s remoteness. There is a lack of proper infrastructure, and facilities are limited. As a result, trekkers can feel cut off from the outside world, which can mentally stress them and make the journey challenging. Similarly, moving to a higher elevation makes the trek more arduous. The weather also becomes unpredictable, making it further challenging. There is also a slight risk of altitude sickness.
Lamjung Himal Trekking is an adventurous and unique trekking experience. You need to prepare physically and mentally to overcome its difficulties. Likewise, you must also prepare proper gear and clothing items to tackle the unpredictable weather conditions during the trek. Anyone with adequate preparation can join the trek and enjoy it.

Additional Trip Information
Lamjung Himal Trek route
The Lamjung Himal Trekking begins from the little town of Besisahar after leaving Kathmandu by car. This is where the renowned Annapurna Circuit typically begins. In contrast to the more well-traveled Annapurna paths, our route does not traverse the Marsyangdi Valley. Instead, past traditional Gurung villages and farmland, our trail turns to the west. Next, you move into the bamboo and rhododendron-filled forest area.
You begin climbing a ridge above the settlement of Ghanpokhara. This is known as a “danda” in Nepal. We do this for three days, stopping at “kharkas,” or grazing areas, en route to Valley Camp at 3,717 meters. We ascend Rambrong West Peak (4,384m) to enjoy the Himalayan mountain scenery. Views of Lamjung Himal (6,983 m), Ganesh Himal (7,422 m), and Mt. Machapuchare, sometimes known as Fish Tail, are visible from the summit (6,997m). Manaslu (8,163m) is seen in the west, and Himal Chuli is visible in the east.
The trail continues to drop down another ridge from Valley Camp. For three days, we follow this to Tangting Village. We set up camp at Kharkas around this ridge, which offers magnificent mountain vistas. We travel by car from Tangting to Pokhara. We will explore the lakeside town for two nights before returning to Kathmandu.
