Nepal is a melting pot of diverse cultures and ethnic groups. The country is also full of places with beautiful scenery. One can gain a unique adventure as well as cultural experience in the Himalayas by trekking.Being the ultimate destination for trekking lovers from across the world, Nepal has a variety of options ranging from mild and short excursions to highly strenuous and challenging treks to the snow-capped mountains, their foothills and lush green valleys. With a myriad of possibilities, the country’s trekking areas can meet the needs of every trekker interested to go on trekking to Nepal's hills, mountains and valleys.
Situated at the foothills of Mt. Langtang Lurung and many other beautiful mountains, the Langtang Valley not only offers a breathtaking view but also gives a matchless mountain experience. The Langtang Region, which is considered the third largest trekking regions in Nepal, very accessible due to its proximity to the Kathmandu Valley. Often overlooked by trekkers in favour of the Everest or Annapurna regions, the Langtang valley is no less impressive. With dense forest which explodes into colour in the spring season, abundant wildlife and a rich mosaic of cultures, you will come away from this trip with the sensation that you have just visited one of the most beautiful valleys in the world.
We skirt the banks of the Trisuli River that originates in Tibet for the first few days of the trek. We would also pass through various scattered villages and fields of barley, wheat and maize. We start our climb up the Langtang valley through excellent forest of rhododendron, chirr and blue pine after crossing the Langtang Khola. The alpine scenery soon starts to take on a different feel, becoming much steeper as the trail meanders between steep gorges and high wooded slopes.
