Langtang The enchanting valley of Langtang, the closest Himalayan National Park to the capital city of Nepal is one of the most spectacular trekking destinations. Langtang Helicopter Trek is indeed a very fascinating way to explore this graceful valley. Trekking into the remarkable region of Langtang is unique on its own. Established in 1976, Langtang is considered one of the most beautiful Himalayan provinces in Nepal that offers stunning views. The valley is within easy reach and can be accessed at any time of the year. Though a less-trodden trekking destination, trekking in this delightful region gives anyone the beautiful experience of a lifetime.

The inhabitants of this region are very popularly known as the “TAMANG” who are essentially Tibetan-Origin people who migrated to this region via the Tibet-Nepal borders. Tamangs of the Langtang region are basically Buddhist followed by a mixture of Shamanism. These people are very welcoming and peace-loving. They are the ones who bore the brunt of the 2015 tragic earthquake. However, the 8.2 scale earthquake couldn’t succeed in putting away the happiness, and the beautiful smiles off the face of these people.

Still, most parts of Langtang are untouched by outside influence. Travelers from around the world trek to these fascinating valleys of Langtang for the real trekking experience. Langtang still has the potential to give the trekkers and travelers the serenity, culture, and homestay experience. It can still offer genuine peace of mind which people sincerely seek in the mountains.

Langtang Helicopter Trek Summary:

The trek starts with a 141 km drive to the beautiful town of Syabru Besi. The Drive through the slender highway is phenomenal. The next day after crossing the Langtang River we walk through the lush woodland to the village of Lama Hotel. Gradually walking on the most enchanting trail through forest and alpine setting we get to our last settlement of Kyangjin Gompa. The settlements of Langtang village and Kyangjin are very well positioned at the lap of the high snow-capped Himalayas.
