Langtang Trek is a beautiful journey that explores the ethnic cultures of Nepal's high mountains. The Langtang Valley is a beautiful, 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.
The area is less visited by trekkers due mainly to its remoteness. Trekking here is tremendous and offers a pristine experience, fascinating people, and rich culture. As you trek up the valley, you will have plenty of time to relax and get into the local way of life. It is also known for the large amount of wildlife and bird life to be studied along the way. Tamangis (the leading ethnic group) are Tibetan in every aspect, as the border with the Tibetan border is only twenty miles away.
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. Hiking further up the valley, you can also explore an extensive glacier system.
There are many ways to vary treks in this region: one popular choice is to extend the nine- to ten-day Langtang Valley trek for a further five days to the Sacred Lakes of Gosainkund (4300m) and the Helambu region. In Hindu scriptures, Lord Shiva created the sacred lakes when he jabbed his trial (trident) into the ground to form the headwaters of the Trisuli River.
The 2015 earthquake badly devastated the Langtang region. People have now rebuilt their lives and welcomed you in their special way.
