Trip Code: SUBIN-LVT-02
The Langtang valley has been most aptly described by Bill Tillman
as “the most beautiful valley in the world”. This trek takes you into the
breath taking natural wonders of the Langtang region where nature literally
exposes her beauty bluntly, so wonderfully.
Langtang valley is located to the north of Kathmandu.
Encircled by high peaks, the Langtang valley trek gives you an opportunity for stunning
views of the great Himalayan peaks glistening in the sunshine, especially in
the months of October. Since the valley
is known as the “treasure house of alpines” you will enjoy an endless stretch
of alpine forests and varieties of flowers during your hike through the trails
of this mesmerizing valley.
With the proximity of the Langtang valley to the southern
border of Tibet this region is inhabited by the Tamang community whose
religious practices, language and customs are similar to that of the Tibetans.
Do this trek with SUBINDRA & enjoy the
holidays of a lifetime, never experienced before…

Please note: this is
a moderate trek that can be done with family & kids if they are over 10
years of age. Residing in the lodges is basic & clean for teahouse lodges
at such altitudes. Enjoy the spirit of adventure as you bunk out in these
lodges. Camping also is an option but it could be pretty expensive in
comparison to staying in lodges. Most trekkers prefer to bunk out in lodges.
Make sure you hike out in this area with cameras loaded with film because the
landscapes are considered to be some of the best in the world. Just come across
& do the trek, enjoy something you’ve never experienced before.
