My mum and I did a 1-day hiking tour near Kathmandu with Joel. He is an amazing and experienced guide and above all very kind person. The hike was very nice, but what we liked the most was Joel company. We highly recommend him when going to any tour by WP Travel Engine Adventure. Also, the owner Joel is very nice and professional. Joel knows what Western travelers want and need. He is intelligent, informative and wise.

I did the trek twice in 2 years with WP Travel Engine Adventure - Poon Hill trek and Langtang trek. The company planned every detail of the trips that made us worry-free and assured that we got the best quality services during the whole trip. Our trek guides were so experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and humorous that made our trips full of laughter! Even the porters were of high quality and taking care of us when needed.

Sunrise is the most beautiful and basecamp sunrise should be a must if you\'re in the area. Did the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Eco Adventure and cannot recommend Joel and his team highly enough. Joel knows what Western travelers want and need. He is intelligent, informative, wise, careful and a mine of information about Nepal, its history, and customs.

Great trek and great guide/porter provided by unique adventure. I can simply recommend this trekking agency. The owner Joel Karki is an extremely helpful man, who will do whatever it takes to help you organize your trip and provide the best possible services. He also stays in touch to make sure everything is fine and well going. I met a lot of different customer attitudes in Nepal, and Joel has one of the best of them all. You are simply not just a pile of money for him.

Langtang is a region in the north-central Himalayas of the Bagmati province of Nepal. Situated 51 kilometers north of the Kathmandu Valley, the region is renowned for hosting the Langtang national park which eventually constitutes the border with the Tibet autonomous region of China. About 4,500 people reside inside the park (with Tamang as a majority), and many more depend on it for timber and firewood.
The park contains a wide variety of climatic zones, from subtropical to alpine. Approximately 25% of the park is forested. Trees include the deciduous oak and maple, evergreens like pine, and various types of rhododendron. Animal life includes the Himalayan black bear, the goat-like Himalayan tahr, Assam macaque, and red pandas. There are also stories of Yeti sightings.
The park contains the Gosainkunda lakes, sacred to Hindus. Pilgrimages are made there in August. Another spiritual site is the Buddhist monastery Kyanjin Gompa. Popular activities for tourists in the park include trekking, climbing, and white-water rafting.
The village of Langtang was completely destroyed by a massive avalanche followed by the earthquake in April 2015. The village suffered an estimated 310 deaths, including 176 Langtang residents, 80 foreigners, and 10 army personnel. More than 100 bodies were never recovered.
