Langtang Trek is a beautiful journey that explores the ethnic cultures of Nepal's high mountains. The Langtang Valley is a lovely, hidden alpine valley full of birds, animals, and rare plants. The valley forms part of the Central Nepal Himalaya, north of Kathmandu. The trek in the Langtang region is best for those who want to do one of the best short treks in Nepal.
Due to its remoteness, the area is less visited by trekkers than the Everest and Annapurna regions. However, trekking here is tremendous and offers a pristine experience, fascinating people, and rich culture. The Tamang are the dominant ethnic group in the Langtang. As you trek up the valley, you will have plenty of time to relax and get into the local way of life.
Trekking high up into the valley, you find yourself almost at the base of the Himalayas. The beauty of the trek is that it provides “a high mountain feel” without being too complicated. You can explore an extensive glacier system by hiking further up the valley.
There are many ways to vary treks in this region: one popular choice is the 10-day Langtang Valley trek. You can extend to the sacred Gosaikunda Lake, crossing over Lauribina to enter the Helambu region. In Hindu scriptures, Lord Shiva created the sacred lakes when he jabbed his trial (trident) to drink water. The water came down into the Trisuli River, one of the famous rivers for rafting.
The Langtang region, especially Langtang Village, was badly devastated by the 2015 earthquake. People have rebuilt their lives and welcomed you in their special way.
