Lovely people and beautiful mountains
From: Norway | On: 03 Nov, 2017
It was really nice to experience the Himalayas in real life. I was so excited for this trip since the beginning of the year. We had been planning this for almost a year and I’m glad that it finally happened.
We chose Langtang especially because we wanted to explore the rural Tamang and Sherpa heritage. The people are widely famous for climbing mountains and it was really fascinating meeting them in person. They really work hard.
The helicopter flight back was incredible. We got the opportunity to explore Langtang both on foot and from the air. The aerial view however is something else. Truly loved the scenery. All thanks to CoreTreks for making this trip possible. Thanks to all the professionals from CoreTreks for helping us throughout the trek.
A very unique trip
From: United Kingdom | On: 15 May, 2016
Our trek to Langtang valley was amazing. The cheerful people of Nepal are really welcoming and polite. During the trek we got to explore unique landscape and settlements. I was amazed by how hardworking Nepalese people really are.
The return helicopter fight to Kathmandu was cherry on top. After a really long trekking we felt like we deserved the aerial view of Nepal.
Special thanks to CoreTreks for making this trip possible. They guides were really nice and helped us through all the difficult situations.
