Langtang Village Rebuilding After the 2015 Earthquake

Langtang Village (3430 m) was one of the hardest-hit areas during the 2015 earthquake in Nepal; sadly, a massive avalanche from Langtang Lirung buried the entire village under rock, ice, and snow.  The data shows that more than 300 lives were lost in the disaster, which included villagers, guides, and trekkers. The sad part was that centuries-old monasteries, mani walls, and stone houses disappeared within moments.

In the years that followed, the resilient Tamang people persisted and rebuilt their lodges and houses, creating the New Langtang Village, which is situated just below the older village. Reconstruction successfully preserved cultural heritage while introducing earthquake-resistant structures.

Today, the Langtang valley stands as a living reminder of resilience, recovery, and the enduring spirit of its people. Attracting trekkers who wish to witness both Himalayan beauty and human strength. You can pay tribute to the villagers, trekkers, and guides who lost their lives by visiting the Langtang Memorial Site, a small memorial area close to the location of the former village, during the Langtang Valley Trek.

Langtang Valley Trek immerses you in the Tamang Heritage

It is impossible to discuss Langtang Valley without mentioning the Tamang people. Since the traditional Talang people have lived in the stunning Langtang for many years, they are the ones who will serve you during your journey.

Get ready to get fully immersed in the Tamang culture while exploring traditional villages like Gatlang, Briddim, and Langtang, which showcase the local lifestyle. You will further witness the stone-built houses, wooden carvings, and mani walls which reflect the centuries-old Tamang and Tibetan influences. 

While on your trip to Langtang, you will also visit Kyanjin Gompa (3870 m) and other smaller local monasteries, which are the centres of spiritual life.  And if you are at the right time, you can even experience the Tamang festivals, which give you deeper knowledge of local customs and rituals. 

However, if there are no festivals when you are there, don't worry because you will still be able to engage with the local Tamang families, eat traditional foods, and get a firsthand look at Tamang life while staying at tea houses. 

Yak Cheese Factory at Kyanjin Gompa

A fascinating aspect of the Langtang Valley Trek is the Kyanjin Gompa's traditional yak cheese factory. You can go to the nearby cheese factory to observe how the locals use traditional techniques to make yak milk cheese. 

Furthermore, you have an opportunity to observe the full process of the yak making, from milking yaks to pressing and aging the cheese. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will also make for an intriguing story.

While on your trek to Nepal, you can purchase directly from the local families, which will benefit them and help sustain the valley’s traditional livelihoods.
