Langtang Valley Trek Tour

Package Overview

Langtang valley Trek is in Langtang Region – the north-central Himalayas straight north of Kathmandu valley that borders Tibet autonomous region. This trek follows in a narrow gorge up to the wide pastureland valley surrounded by mighty Himalayan peaks. The 2015 Earthquake destroyed the beautiful Langtang Village – swept by an avalanche from the Langtang Lirung Himal and killed an estimated 300 people including approximately 80 tourists. Now, the village is ready to welcome you again.

Throughout this trek, you will never feel deficiencies of adventure, scenery, and exhilarating destination experiences. The trek does not only provide a close look at the mountains but also into the Sherpa and Tamang lifestyles – two ethnic communities living in the Himalayan region of Nepal. You can immerse yourself in the inside-life of locals, beautiful forests on the way, and mesmerizing mountains. Some of the notable peaks are Langtang Lirung 7,234 m/ 23,734 ft, Langtang Ri 7,205 m/ 23,638 ft, Langsisa Peak 6,427 m/ 21,086 ft, Yala Peak 5,520 m/ 18,110 ft, Ganjala Peak(5,844m/19173ft), Ganja La pass(5122m/16804ft) and so on.
