Highlights of the Trek |
|
According to legend, Langtang valley was
discovered by a Lama following a runaway
Yak, hence the name "Lang". Tibetan for
Yak, and "Tang" meaning to follow.
Langtang is a narrow valley, that lies
just south of the Tibetan border,
sandwiched between the main Himalayan
range to the north and slightly lower
range of snow clad peaks to the south.
This high and isolated region is
inhabited by people of Tibetan origin,
who practice Buddhism. A trek through
Langtang valley offers an opportunity to
explore villages and monasteries and to
visit glaciers at the head of the
valley.
Grade :
Moderate
You will be walking five to eight hours
per day at altitudes not exceeding 4,500
meters with steep ascents and descents.
Preparation will be much the same as for
the introductory trek but should include
more steep ascents and descents if
possible. Using the stairs instead of
the lift is a good way to prepare for
these treks as is cycling and swimming.
