Langtang Earthquake Memorial
लाङटाङ स्मारक
A memorial to the victims of the 2015 avalanche, beside the ruins of the old Langtang village, with a mani wall inscribed with the names of the dead and with prayers.
On April 25, 2015, the Nepal earthquake triggered a huge avalanche and mudflow from the Langtang Lirung massif. The old village of Langtang was buried in an instant, and more than two hundred villagers and trekkers died. Beside the ruins stand a memorial mani wall and a stupa inscribed with the names of the dead. Trekkers passing by often pause here to pay their respects and turn prayer wheels. You can learn about the villagers’ story of rebuilding. Please keep quiet and walk around clockwise.
