12 days Langtang Valley Homestay Trek

12 days Langtang Valley Homestay Trek

Langtang region lies at the south of Tibet Border and north from the capital- Kathmandu. The major attraction of this region spectacular views of snow-capped mountains such as Langtang Lirung (7246m), Gang Chhenpo(6388m) and Naya Kanga Ri(5846m) lie to the south and Dorje Lakpa(6966m) at the East of the Langtang Valley. The Langtang Trek awaits. The homestay tour will give you the real taste of Nepal. Living in the house made up of stones and tiles watching day-to-day activities of local people either cutting grass on the fields or taking cattle for grazing nearby hills, people living a simple life even with eyes full of happiness and pride, is the way how to get to know the true essence of people residing behind the modern development of Nepal. The life you see here is completely away from modernization. People have no further hope of earning a better modern life as they choose to live a life of peace and self-esteem in the village without much struggle and shortages.
