Langtang Lirung (7,227m) is a mountain peak in the Langtang region of Nepal. It is the highest peak in the Langtang Himal range and is considered one of the most challenging and technical peaks to climb in the region. The peak was first climbed in 1975 by a Japanese expedition.
The trek to Langtang Lirung starts at Syabrubesi and passes through the Langtang National Park, offering stunning views of the Himalayas and a chance to experience the unique culture and lifestyle of the Tamang people who inhabit the region. The trek can take anywhere from 12 to 20 days depending on the route and the climbing itinerary.
Climbing Langtang Lirung requires a high level of physical fitness and technical climbing skills. It is recommended for experienced climbers who have previously climbed peaks of similar difficulty. It is also important to be well-acclimatized before attempting to climb the peak as altitude sickness can be a major concern.
Climbing season for Langtang Lirung is generally from April to June and September to November, when the weather is most stable. It is also important to note that climbing in Nepal requires a permit, which can be obtained through a government-approved trekking or climbing agency.
