Despite the immense challenges they faced, they rebuilt their lives and their community with unwavering determination. Langtang Valley was one of the hardest-hit areas during the earthquake, yet its residents, primarily from the Tamang community, have fully restored their ability to welcome trekkers.

Afterward, the trail re-enters a wooded area, leading you past small waterfalls and vibrant rhododendron groves as you make your way to Ghopte (3,430 m). Here, you’ll be rewarded with an excellent view of the forested mountain ranges surrounding Kathmandu.
