Langtang is an area in Nepal's Bagmati Province in the north-central Himalayas. The region is known for hosting the Langtang national park, which eventually forms the border with China's Tibet autonomous region. It is located 51 kilometers north of Kathmandu Valley. From subtropical to alpine, the park encompasses a wide range of climate zones. The park is forested in about a 25% of its area. The deciduous oak and maple, as well as evergreens like pine and rhododendrons, are among the trees. The Himalayan black bear, Himalayan tahr, Assam macaque, snow leopard, yak, red panda, and more than 250 kinds of birds are among the animals found here.
The Langtang Himalayas dominate this valley trip, which takes you past rhododendron and bamboo woods, as well as roaring waterfalls and spectacular snow-capped mountains. The trail ascends to 4,000 meters, and if you wish to go much higher, the dawn from the Tserko Ri at 5,000 meters is a must-see.
The Langtang trek is a heartfelt journey. The Langtang Valley is one of Nepal's most beautiful areas, and it was once a favorite among trekkers looking for spectacular scenery, unique culture, and heartfelt hospitality in charming homestay guest houses - all within easy reach of Kathmandu.
The Langtang Valley, on the other hand, is almost devoid of visitors these days, as Langtang residents continue to rebuild their lives following the 2015 earthquake. Survivors of the earthquake's landslides were forced to flee the valley, but they have since returned to recover their country, restore their houses, and re-establish their crops.
The trek begins in Syabru Besi, a small town. Around Kyangjin Gompa, you'll climb through beautiful woodlands to high alpine meadows and yak farms (a Buddhist monastery). You retrace your steps back down the valley and drive back to Kathmandu.
This is a great trek for those who want to go off the beaten path and see something different than many of the country's more touristy areas.
