An inspirational Langtang Trek is the closest Himalayan region to Kathmandu valley. Notwithstanding this journey is quite close to Kathmandu, the Langtang sector has many highlands with pristine remote landscapes.

Langtang Valley trek is one of the best options for adventure lovers completing the journey within a week. Another significance of this journey is those who seek the beautiful as well as less touristic journey. The villages and settlements are similar in Tibetan origin. Once it was the trade route to Tibet, therefore people around here are influenced by Tibetan culture and lifestyle.

Review of Trail: Why Trekking to Langtang Valley

In my personal view, Langtang region trekking is one of the best choices for those tourists. It is the perfect destination for those who want to see flora and fauna with great mountain views. Moreover, this region is the easiest trekking route to get there as it doesn’t require a flight or a long hours drive. It is just 122 km drive from Kathmandu to the northern side.

Trip to Langtang can be observed via two aspects natural and cultural. Culturally this journey is perfect to explore the Tamang settlements in the Langtang Valley. Diverse ethnic people reside there around including Sherpa, Newars, and Chhetries with their rich and unique culture. Naturally, we can explore the magnificent view of the Langtang National Park, lavish hills, terraced fields, and beautiful gorges. Different species of endangered animals such as Red Panda, wild deer, Himalayan Thar, and the national bird of our country- Danphe can be explored in this journey. With the inclusion of Kathmandu arrival day and departure day, you can complete the Langtang Valley trek in 9 days.

Nonetheless, Lantang is a less spoiled trekking zone in Nepal. It is not as crowded as Everest and Annapurna. All the treks of this region are located inside the Langtang National Park. Around 25% of this park is covered with forest. So it is the perfect trail for those who are looking for a less traffic trek.

All in all, I personally recommend making a journey to Langtang for all once in life.
