On April 25, 2015, Nepal was struck by a devastating earthquake that left then entire country rattled and destructed. The earthquake shattered many areas of Nepal, with thousands of people killed and houses brought down.
Amongst all the areas that were severely affected, Langtang village was the one that was affected the most. As claimed by the villagers, what amplified the level of destruction was the avalanche that followed,
Boulders, pile of snow, landmass that stuck down the valley, eroded houses and almost everyone died in the event. But as time unfolded, the recovery and rebuilding process is taking the valley back to its loving charm.
The Recent Earthquake And Langtang Valley
On January 8, 2025, a massive 7.1 magnitude struck the remote region of Tibet, almost 80km from Mount Everest.
Langtang valley, being close to Tibet, experienced this earthquake quite heavily in comparison to the capital city, “Kathmandu”. However, having recovered from the 2015 earthquake, Langtang Village now has already built great resistance. Hence, no destruction occured!
Langtang Village Now
Visiting the Langtang village now feels even more beautiful that how it used to look before the earthquake struck. What re-established the villages charm even more is the unification of the villagers to rebuild their houses.
One clever step the village has taken is moving the entire village a few meters apart to avoid avalanches. Hotels and lodges are even bigger now and have larger rooms. The stone led passages and pathways make the journey even more beautiful.

Houses have been built with earthquake resistance technology while new, hospitals, schools and monasteries including Kyanjin Gompa have been established.
With the beauty now restored, Langtang is cherished as a brilliant tourist destination. Helicopter tours to Langtang have started gaining popularity.
