Langtang region trek 8 -15 Days

From Kathmandu and ending at scenic Melamchipul

The Langtang trek takes place in the Langtang Valley, situated in the Langtang region of Nepal. The communities situated within the Langtang Valley were largely devastated by the 2015 earthquakes that truck Nepal. This trek gives trekkers the chance to witness the way in which the earthquake has affected the lifestyle of the Nepali people, as well as trek through a beautiful landscape with stunning views of the Himalayas throughout.

This trek provides the perfect opportunity to hike along the border of Tibet and Nepal. In between the main Himalayan range to the north, and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south, the trek passes through remote villages and climbs small peaks. Visit glaciers at low altitude and see the sacred lake of the Buddhists and Hindus.
