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.
