I went in this trek with two good friends and it was truly an amazing experience. We landed in Kathmandu during the end of some fairly significant rain and met our guide Prakash the following day. He gave us recommendations on places to purchase odds and ends for the trek.
We left the next morning on an exhilarating jeep ride to the Langtang national park and began our trek.
Truly unique and welcoming experience hiking from village to village stopping for lunch and taking in the scenery. The hiking days were very challenging but rewarding, and Prakash was great about staying informed on the ever changing trail and weather conditions and made small changes to the itinerary as needed.
On the second to last day the weather worsened and we collectively decided to speed through the last day’s hike in order to get to our final destination and back to Kathmandu ahead of incoming rain. Throughout the trek, Prakash taught us about local food and customs and he constantly made sure we were all doing well.
He also kept our spirits up during some of the more challenging portions of the hike. There were a few instances where the trails were washed out from the recent rains and our amazing porters pioneered and assisted our safe crossings on alternative routes. Definitely a trip of a lifetime and cannot give enough gratitude to Prakash and the two porters!!
