The legend says while a lama following the run away Yak had found this beautiful valley. "Lang" means Yak (Dang) Tang means to follow. Inhabitants are mostly Tamang, very much similar to Tibetan in their costume and culture. They are more akin to Tibetans than their cousins in the mid hills of Nepal. Though there is no flights, the region is easily accessible from Kathmandu to its proximity. Within short days you are closer to the snowcapped mountains, glaciers and high passes.
Langtang Valley is the short, famous and closest holiday trek from the Capital "Kathmandu". This trek starts by driving from Kathmandu to Shyaphrubesi of 8 to 9 hours drive. The twist and turns of the road, passes, waterfalls, paddy field and villages catches eyes on the way. This trail starts from Shyaphubesi and most of the time runs through the shade of the forest with rhododendrons. On the way, one can find wild bees hive, monkeys etc which will halt the trailers to watch their activities for some moment. Above Lama Hotel snow line starts, and trail becomes quite steep and one can have lots of best view of mountains of Langtang Lerung. Way to Kyanjin Gompa offers the famous Yak cheese factory and the final destination Kyanjin Gompa will provide the best view of mountain range of Langtang region. Further travelling to Ganja La bring steep snow way and needs to fix rope to cross Ganja La pass.
