Overview of Langtang Valley trek

This trek starts with a breezy scenic drive along the Trisuli River, north of Kathmandu. After passing through Trisuli Bazaar we reach to Syabru besi. A Tibetan village with farmlands inhabited by people of Tibetan origin. Many villagers are originally from Tibet and once the route was an important trading highway with Tibet with Nepal. Therefore most of the villagers and peoples here still are involved in barter trade. Come join us and discover the unbeaten Langtang Valley Trek 11 days!

Langtang Valley Trek includes langtang national park which is the fourth national park of nepal.In this langtang  trek we get an opportunity to explore the cultures and traditions of the ethnic group of Tamangs who speak Tibeto-Burman language and trace their routes back to Tibet practicing a form of Tibetan Buddhism, as in our way we will pass by series of Tamang villages.

It is Located north of Kathmandu, between the Helambu Massif and the Tibetan border, the Langtang Massif offers beautiful trails away from the classic Annapurna and Khumbu routes. Higher up, the valley widens and trees gradually give way to alpine meadows. The top of Langtang Lirung (7227m) dominates you to the village of Kyanjin Gompa (3830m), the last inhabited hamlet that serves as a summer pasture for herds of yaks. We are then in the area of ​​glaciers descending from the Upper Himalayas that closes the border with Tibet. Langtang Valley Trek  also called as horse riding trek in Nepal.
