The traditional houses made up of stone, beautifully carved wooden porches and the beautiful Gompas add more beauty to the Himalayan valley of Langtang. The Langtang valley is a perfect reflection of the mixture of natural beauty and the culture of Tamang communities.

Despite the huge natural beauty and cultural experience, the Langtang is still among the least explored trekking destinations in Nepal.
