DESCRIPTION
The Langtang Valley Trek is characterized by soak, jungle-covered valleys at lower heights, and wide, desolate snow-capped valleys once the path climbs to Langtang Village. It is best to visit the stop in October and November after the rainstorm has finished and sometime recently winters sets within. The sky is evident and the clears out are colorful, giving a photogenic foundation. March to May is additionally a great time to visit as the wildflowers and rhododendrons are sprouting.
Langtang valley's journey has been one of the foremost fulfilling brief treks accessible anyplace in Nepal. A least one week is required but trekkers are well-advised to include some additional days for acclimatization and for side trips within the valley. Along with our travel, you may walk through the Langtang National Stop. In spite of the fact that natural life is never simple to spot in a woodland setting, where you get the chance to see a few curiously creatures and winged creatures. Among those found within the stop are monkeys, musk deer, Pika, and the national feathered creature of Nepal, the colorful Danphe. The Langtang valley journey can be begun either from Dhunche or from Syabru Besi.
