Why Langtang valley Circuit Trek

Langtang Valley Circuit Trek
Picture: View of langtang village along with mountains

Stunning view of 360 degree panorama of mountain from the last village of kyanjing Gumba (3800 meters) and from Sherpa Gaun (2200meters); we named this trail as Mini circuit for the reason we make a loop splitting our way at Lama Hotel, this will helps you to be easily acclimatized and gives stunning view of Ganesh Himal I (also called Yangra peak 7,422 m (24,350 ft)) and some other mountain of Manaslu mountain Range.

Trekking is easy and helps to explore varieties of flora and fauna with change in everyday altitude along with many Mountains like, Langtang Lirung (7246m). Ganesh Himal (7,600m), Langtang -II (7,227m), Dorje Lakpa and many other unnamed Himalayas.

You will be happy with the hospitality of the isolated village, Sherpa Gaun; as the environment is peaceful. If you love to explore more wild; Sherpa Gaun has an off the beaten view point after walking uphill & passing many local Yak sheds from the village (takes around 4 hours to get to the top). Rhododendron forest (during March-June) covering the whole jungle in more than 20 various colors make stunning pictures of the forest and barren land decorated with herds of castles and yaks grazing.
