Trip Overview
Langtang valley starts with an overland journey to Syabrubesi, a small string of shops and hotels. Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border. It is sandwiched between the Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of peaks to the south. This area was designated Nepal’s first Himalayan national park in 1971. This high and isolated region is inhabited by the Tamangs, whose religious practices, language and dress are more similar to those of Tibet. According to a legend a lama following a runaway yak discovered the valley. Hence the name – Lang meaning Yak in Tibetan, and tang meaning valley was named after this Langtang. Though is area is relatively close to Kathmandu, the region sees far fewer trekkers than Everest and Annapurna.
