A journey to the Langtang valley has to be a highly gratifying of the short treks available anywhere in Nepal. The east-west running valley is the site of some eye-catching elevated panorama.To boot, its a notable place to meet distinctive people. About one week in minimum is essential. However,we advise trekkers to annex a few more days for adjustment and for side trips inside the valley. Throughout our journey, you will trek along the Langtang National Park. Although wildlife is not easy to spot in a forest setting, here you get the chance to see some captivating flora and fauna. Among those found in the park are monkeys, musk deer, Pika and the national bird of Nepal, the colorful Danphe,which is renowned as national bird if Nepal. The trek is best to start either from  Dhunche or from Syabru Besi.
