7 Reasons to go on the Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang Valley Trek

The Langtang Valley trek used to be among one of the most popular trekking paths in Nepal till the earthquake struck in 2015. Currently, tourism is gradually coming back to the region. My Nepali friend motivated me to go trekking in this region however I left it till my 3rd visit to the nation to follow this great advice. After that, I went two times in 2 months! Below are 7 reasons why it is one of the best trekking destinations in Nepal, and why you need to do this trek.
IT GETS FEW TOURISTSAfter the earthquake, this area has faced a significant decrease in tourism. Now it has begun to gradually pick up once more, however, there's still nothing like the traffic congestion found on the Everest Base Camp trek or Annapurna treks. I enjoy going off the beaten path, into nature. Sharing the experience of the mountains with crowds of visitors simply recks it for me.
THE MOUNTAIN VIEWSThis is the primary reason that lots of people visit Nepal. LangtangLirung, the highest point in the region, dominates the horizon from Kyanjin Gompa village. One can see snowcapped mountains from the very first day of the trek, and also you will see glaciers up close too.
If you are a skilled mountaineer, there are a few mountains you can try as well: Yala Top (5500 meters) that can be climbed up in 2 days with one-night outdoor camping, or Naya Kanga (which is more technical and also needs a license), are simply 2 of the most usual ones.
CHOOSE WHETHER TO CAMP OR STAY IN TEA HOUSESAmong the treks I have done in Nepal, the Langtang Valley trek is the most appropriate for outdoor camping. You can camp in the Langtang Valley, further from KyanjinGompa, or cross the Hashish La Pass and do 3-day camping on the way down since there are no teahouses on that side till Tarkeghyang.
KyanjinGompa is the last populated village in the valley which rests at 3800 meters. The Langtang Valley continues to Langshisha for 12 km. Further up there are no teahouses and you will hike alongside the river, where yaks and also wild horses graze. You can rent a camping tent as well as camping gear, take some food with you and also go camping in the valley for an evening or even more.
Yet if you want the comfort of teahouses, there are a lot of these, as well.
THE WOODLANDS YOU'LL GO THROUGHIf you enjoy rhododendrons then this is an expedition you will certainly take pleasure in, particularly if you trek in the spring. The woodlands are likewise loaded with oaks, bamboo, as well as other stunning plants, and also it is quiet and peaceful to hike through.
THE PEOPLEBecause many people in the Langtang Valley lost loved ones in the earthquake and there is a decline in tourism since then, but the people here are all inviting. They are grateful if you enter their teahouses as well as will certainly treat you with the renowned Nepali compassion, which the more touristy areas have lost. A beautiful lady I met may be the reason that KyanjinGompa is my favorite town: she welcomed me into her house like I was her child. For 2 days it was just me in her really great and also comfortable teahouse. I had a room with direct sights of the hills, and I consumed what she and also her little daughter was eating. I really did not want to leave her house, and I will absolutely return.
THE WILD ANIMALSThis is a national park where you can see several animals. I saw plenty of apes along with wild deer, dzo, big falcons as well as vivid reptiles. I really did not see a lot of wildlife on any other trekking I carried out in Nepal. It's said that you can also spot red panda in the Langtang Valley, yet I wasn't so lucky.
EASY AVAILABILITY OF HOT SHOWERSAfter the quake, lots of guesthouses had to be rebuilt. Many now have solar run hot showers with truly hot water. In the hills, this is a genuine joy!
