Langtang Valley after 2015 earthquake

Nepal experienced such a big earthquake after almost 1 century and the chances of the earthquake that big is very rare. Also, the infrastructure of the Langtang Valley has now been shifted far from the previous village to a safer location.

This means you can safely trek to Langtang village now.

How Is Langtang Valley now?

After the devastation, the people set camp temporary camps immediately. They lived in the tent for 5 to 6 months before the construction started. With the big help of the national and international community the Langtang village and its people started the rebuilding process and completed it in about two years. After 2017, the trial was reopened for the tourists. But again Covid 19 paused tourism for a long time.

Currently, there are more than 20 hotels in the Langtang area. The new hotels have been constructed using earthquake-resistant materials. For the tourists, they have used bigger rooms with attached bathrooms, great beds, good restaurants, Wi-Fi in the room, and more facilities. They have also rebuilt their houses to keep them safe. Although the population of Langtang has dropped after the earthquake, there are still local people who are living in the area. The people here are very true to their culture and tradition.
