RASUWA, Oct 30: Langtang Valley Trek has reopened following the construction of alternative paths.
Although the Bhotekoshi flood damaged the Pasang Lhamu Highway and infrastructure in the Syaphrubesi area, new trekking routes have been opened, considering the safety of trekkers.
Locals are happy after the world-famous trekking route, obstructed due to the flash flood in the Bhotekoshi River, comes into operation.

Sharing about the condition of the Langtang area, Chairperson of Gosainkunda Rural Municipality-4, Dindu Jyangba Tamang said, "Though the disaster had damaged trekking routes, we have now made alternative routes safe. Tea Houses, hotels and local entrepreneurs are fully prepared to welcome tourists in Langtang Valley."

Though the natural disaster had affected local tourism businesses and livelihoods, tourist guides, porters, and local businessmen are excited about the opening of alternative trekking routes.
