Langtang Valley Trek

[Nepal everest guide(santosh)]

Langtang valley trekking in nepal

The Langtang area offers remote trekking just south of the Tibetan border. The Tamang people of this area are incredibly welcoming and will make your stay in this area one that you will never forget. Not only are the views of the Himalaya amazing but there is a wide variety of fauna and flora: oak, pine, maple, fir, blue pine, hemlock, red panda, wild dog, muntjac, musk dear, Himalayan black bear, Himalayan thar ghoral, thar monkey as well as langur monkeys.

The Tamang people originate mainly from Tibet and so you can experience an ancient, colourful culture. There are many Tibetan monasteries and primitive Tibetan styles of settlement to see on your journey and of course the animal after which the valley is named, the yak (Lang is Tibetan for yak). 

Trekking in Langtang is suitable for all as it has many options in terms of difficulty in trails. Langtang Lirung (7246m) dominates the valley to the north; Gang Chhenpo (6388m) and Naya Kanga Ri (5846m) lie to the south; and Dorje Lakpa (6966m) protects the East end of the Valley. A visit to the Langtang valley offers an opportunity to explore villages, to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. It is also possible to return to Kathmandu via the holy lakes of Gosainkunda at 4300m, or you can make a short trek from Dhunche to Gosainkunda. Thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit the lakes during a full moon festival in August. These lakes are also sacred to Buddhists. 

Be transported back in time in an majestic snow capped backdrop with this fantastic trek.
