Did you know?


Langtang valley was severely destroyed by the devastating earthquake in April 2015. The villages, trails and the entire infrastructure of the valley were destroyed. The region sustained a loss of lives! People turned homeless and hopeless. Many of them lost their lives and the living ones were left lonely with no family members, no roof over them, no food and no rays of hope. However, from 2015 to date, the region has come back to its track. The valley is totally renovated with new houses, new infrastructure and the willingness of people. Despite its renovation, the region has been able to maintain its natural lushness, biodiversity, and allure of mountain peaks.
