About Trip

2015 earthquake tolled heavy damage on many parts of Nepal. From socio-economic perspectives to geographical terrain such magnitude of force majeure caused havoc. Langtang region of Nepal was badly hit. Tourism in this area is the major earning for the locals. However, after the earthquake lots of landslide and glacier outbreak followed. Henceforth, entire village of Langtang Valley got washed away. For a while Langtang Trekking route was halted. The people of Langtang showed great persistence and rose again. Nowadays, trekking in Langtang region can be done without any fuss. Search Treks & Expeditions sent its travel planners team to research about the current situation of the trail. Upon finding it to be safe we have presented this package.
