When I did Langtang trek some years ago, I felt that wow. I am really impressed with the amazing mountain view, Tamang culture, landscape, forest and flora and fauna that I tested experience within a week.
Even it was oldest trekking trail of Nepal, its in the shadow of trekkers choice. At the beginning, I thought it must be some negative things in Langtang so that tourist are diverting another region like Annapurna and Everest.
After completed hiking in this trail I find out the reason why people visiting less there is lack of promotion from the government sector of Nepal.
Every guest who visit this trail, they will definitely happy. If you want to test it then let me know when you make the plan for Langtang.
I made lots of information regarding this LT trail, so please choose the navigation that helps you for your enthusiast.
