The trail ascends from just 1470m at Syabrubesi to hit 3870m at Kyanjin Gompa, following the rushing Langtang Khola river past flourishing forests and bamboo groves to a collection of high alpine pastures, glaciers, and peaks on the border with Tibet is the beauty of the Langtang Valley Trek.
Langtang Valley Trek introduces you to the Buddhist culture of the Tamang and the Sherpas, and the ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa, situated near Tserko upholds this tradition. The panoramic views on this trek include Mt.Dorje Lakpa (6,990m), Mt. Langtang Ri (6,370m), and Mt. Langtang Lirung (7,245m).
The trek passes through Langtang National Park- a flawless countryside with diverse flora and fauna, yak pastures, and local cheese factories. Langtang Valley Trek is a habitat for Himalayan pheasants, Himalayan deer, Himalayan bears, monkeys, and the elusive red panda.
Going back to the past years, Langtang Village ( which is the biggest village of Langtang Valley Trek )was utterly destroyed during the April 2015 earthquake. The resilient locals have, however, been busy rebuilding some tea houses and lodges where you can contribute by continuing to visit Langtang Valley Trek.
