My camera bad is quite heavy. its impossible to trekk with such heavy bag on the back.

Do i have to take my 70-200 with me? for the close mountain landscapes?

Please recommend me how do photographers manage. I will have my language as well.

Hi & Welcome to the forum.
I was travelling in the rugged Ladakh region last year in the company of accomplished Photogs.
This is what they carried.
70-200
50mm
14-28
Tripod
Filters vi. CPL, ND, GND.
You might not realise it but the 70-200 will be used the most.
Hope this helps and do take pics of the people whom you come across and do not constrain yourself to landscapes alone.
Have a good trip

What about the weight?
it is impossible to carry such weight while trekking

All I can say is you'll have to find someone to carry the stuff if you cannot lug it yourself, else think of a small mirrorless camera.
