Langtang Village
लाङटाङ गाउँ
A Tibetan village in the middle of the valley, rebuilt beside its original site after the 2015 avalanche. It is a common stopover for the second night of the trek.
Langtang Village sits at about 3,430 meters. It was once the largest Tibetan settlement in the valley. An avalanche triggered by the 2015 earthquake buried most of the old village, and the new village has been rebuilt just north of the original site. Stone houses, yaks, and prayer flags still carry a strong Tibetan character. The village has many tea houses, making it a good place to spend a night and acclimatize before taking a half-day walk to Kyanjin Gompa. The memorial mani wall at the village entrance, dedicated to those who died, is worth a pause.
