Langtang Valley Trek takes you to the mystical nature nestled with the cultural enrichment in a short duration of time. Located in the northern part of Nepal bordering Tibet, Langtang Valley is one of the most accessible tourist destinations in Nepal. Though the trail is merely discovered by many travelers, it is one of the most rewarding trekking routes of Nepal. From eye-dazzling sceneries, bushes walk, glaciers, and exposure to lifestyle and culture, it has it all.
Our Journey
The trek is initiated after a scenic drive up to the traditional village, Syabrubesi. Syabrubesi is the gateway to any treks to the Langtang Region of Nepal. It is a village inhabited by various ethnic groups like Tamang, Sherpa, and Gurung; mostly influenced by the Tibetan lifestyle and culture. Then onwards, walking thru bushes and alongside the river, enjoying the picturesque sceneries of the cascading hills, snow-clad peaks, and the blooming of Rhododendron forest as well as several other species of vegetations, we will crawl our way to Kyanjing Gompa which is the last settlement along the trail and our ultimate destination.
Langtang National Park
Meanwhile, we will be blessed to take a closer look at the protected herbs, vegetation, and wildlife and birds in the Langtang National Park. The national park was a restricted area prior to the 19th due to the security threats from the bordering countries. And to enhance the preservation of endangered species, it is a protected area that is allowed to visit only with a special permit from the Government of Nepal.
Lifestyle and Culture
Besides, the remote and rural lowland settlements and the authentic lifestyle of the locals are the major attractions of this trek. Ancient and historical monasteries, prayer flags, and other Buddhist cultures representing arts and monuments will rejoice you during the tiring uphill and downhill climbs. In a short duration of time, you can explore all these and reach the highlands.
