While you are on Langtang Valley Trek you will meet many locals on the way. Most of these people belong to the same Ethnic community that is “Tamang”.Nepal is a multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-traditional country so, different people have different traditions and ethnicity. Tamangs of Langtang Region are very friendly and helpful, and always smiling for their visitors. These are the laborious groups of people who have small eyes, small flat noses comparatively shorter in height, and red-brown faces. Most of the people in this region follow Buddhism and are found in monks' Uniforms. They are strong supporters of peace, prosperity, and freedom. As the Langtang Region is near Tibet so, the culture of this area is influenced by Tibetan culture.

The Cello song represents Joy, Sorrow, Satire, and Humor and the Damphu produced the rhythmic beat in the Cello song.

 

Langtang Village after the Earthquake 2015:

During the 2015 earthquake, Langtang Village was destroyed. The earthquake poured the giant boulders of the glacier and the entire frozen lake dropping over the village. An estimated 40 million tons of rock and ice from sky-towering cliffs created a blast of wind so powerful that its pressure wiped out the ancient trees miles away across the river. 

It took the lives of 243 people in a small village. There is a memorial mani wall dedicated to the lost ones a little further from the old village with their names listed on the plaques. 

Today the village has been resettled just a little further from the location with new lodges as a source of income with high hopes to start their living again. The pain remains, but the locals await travelers to welcome their new home with a big smile.  

The locals did receive aid, but because of the lack of proper management, it was barely received by the actual victims. So traveling to Langtang Trek is a good idea that will not only help you fulfill your travel desire but will also aid the locals. 

Let's trek to Langtang for a purpose!

                Is Travel Insurance Needed During 7 Days Langtang Valley Trek?

                As you reach the height of 4900m from sea level which is an unusual height than you use to be normally so, you may have the chance of High Altitude sickness, or even minor injuries like sliding from the trails, resulting the fractures, and other injuries, so sometimes emergency helicopter rescue is needed. If by chance you have unseen disasters your insurance will cover the medical loss so, we highly recommend you have property travel insurance of over 4000m in height.

                Accommodation and Food In Langtang Region:

                The Hotels in the Langtang region were damaged by a 2015 big earthquake of magnitude 7.8. But these houses are soon rebuilt into new modern tea houses. So, you will stay in a clean tea house with single or multiple beds. These bedrooms have enough bedding, pillows, mattresses, Towels, Blankets, soap, and sanity in the bathroom and these beds are clean before you stay there. If you need Sleeping Bags We will provide you the extra sleeping bags that can be used up to -20 Degrees of Temperature for extra warmth. These hotels do have not so many modern facilities like the Attached bathroom and Shower however you can get a hot shower every night at your request. But there is wifi and internet access. It is due to the less crowded area and remoteness of the location which is famous by the Name ``Valley Of Glaciers”.As this less crowded trail has comparatively fewer travelers unlike other trekking trails you will fully and wholeheartedly enjoy the tea house stay with humble Tamang people.

                Normally, Tamang Food is Popular as the whole trekking trail is surrounded by the Tamang Community. However, the tea house menu offers you a Variety of Choices like Pizza, Momo, Burger, Chowmin, Soup, Daal-Bhat, Chapati, Masala Tea, Coffee, Yak Cheese, Toast, Bread, and egg varieties. Our guides also carry some fruits and snacks for you. You can also buy drinks and chocolates at local groceries.

                Bottle Water and Hot water is expensive in high altitude so, we provide you the water purifier tablets which will reduce your cost as water is most important in high altitude to keep you away from Dehydration.

                 

                Are There Chances Of Altitude Sickness, if Yes How to Avoid it?

                Normally Langtang Valley Trek is a Moderate trek. There is no such chance of falling sick due to high altitude. As we walk for 4-5 hours and ascend 150/200m sometimes you may feel a common cold and dizziness. In most cases these minor symptoms are cared for by first aid which is always with our guide but as you reach up to 4900m height for the first time you may catch it. So, we recommend you have enough time for acclimatization every day as you go upward. We suggest you have enough drinking water to keep you hydrated. We suggest you stay connected to your guides or porters who will help you to manage the required medication. But walking 4-5 hours per day and ascending 100-200m with a 10km-12km walk will not bring such a problem normally.

                Langtang Valley Trek is safer and has fewer chances of altitude sickness compared to Everest Base Camp Trek and Manaslu Circuit Trek. It is because the tea houses are almost everywhere along the trail and if you feel uneasy you may take medicine and rest overnight. We highly suggest our travelers who have never been to such heights before avoid alcoholic drinks, Smokes, and other drugs.
