The magnificent mountain views, amazing glaciers, Himalayan holy lakes, varieties of rare flora and fauna, and unique culture have been dragging for centuries and their day-to-day lives are the main attraction.
The Langtang Valley Trek begins with a 6- to 7-hour drive to Syabru Bensi. At first, we are trekking through a sub-tropical jungle, then a dense forest of oak, birch, and pine before the valley opens out into alpine meadows and yak pastures. During the spring, these high meadows seem to be carpeted by full bloom with rare orchids and the colorful rhododendron (National flower of Nepal). The forests are also well known for their variety of wildlife, including red pandas, Himalayan black bears, wild boars, and Langur monkeys, which can be seen especially between Syabru and Ghora Tabela. The trail until the Bambo goes gradually along the Langtang Khola. Then it ascends to the Lama Hotel via a nice viewpoint Remche and again follows the river bank with a wider valley to the Ghora Tabela to get to Langtang Village.
Beyond Langtang village is the summer settlement of Kyanjin, with its old Gumba (Monastery) and cheese factory surrounded by a tremendous mountain range. The small settlement is a round yak pasture, dominated by the fluted northwest face of Kangchenpo, while Kyangjin Ri (4,772 m) offers a splendid viewpoint.
