Thank you so much Langtang Ri for organising a wonderful trek on the Langtang-Tamang Heritage Trail. Our guide Shuvas is very knowlegdgeable and good company. The scenery was fantastic and we were treated to amazing views of the Ganesh Himal, Tibetan peaks and Langtang Lirung from our early morning hike up from Nagthali. As I am 65 I did wonder if it would be too much but thankfully it was worth the effort. Thanks also for our hotel, Katthmandu Eco who looked after us well, plus our guided tours of Kathmandu and Bakthapur. Despite the earthquakes and fuel crisis I thoroughly recommend a visit to Nepal, despite the disasters the Nepali people are so hospitable. One recomendation would be to avoid overcrowded public buses and share a jeep.

Was part of a group that did the Temang Heritage Trail + Gosaikunda Trekking tour with Lantang Ri from 10 to 17 December 2016.

The tour included 1 guide, 1 assistant and 4 porters for a group of 7 people. Overall, I was very pleased with the arrangements. Our guide is Phurkel Sherpa. He is very experienced and professional. The porters and assistant are very helpful as well. The lodging and meal arrangements are on point too. Couldn't be happier with Lantang Ri's program.
