Langtang Trip 11: Building Walls, Creating Impact

Trek Relief’s Langtang Trip 11 has wrapped up, leaving behind a legacy of progress, learning, and environmental stewardship. Each trip deepens our connection to the Langtang Valley, and this time was no different—our volunteers and community members achieved incredible milestones together.

Highlights from Langtang Trip 11

   Architect Buddha Gurung shared his expertise by delivering a lecture on stone masonry and the mechanics of earthquake-safe buildings, equipping both volunteers and locals with essential knowledge.

2. School Wall Construction Begins:
   Volunteers cleared brush, prepped the site, and completed 2.5 layers of stone masonry for the first wall of the school building.

3. Supporting Education:

   • Delivered essential school supplies to local students.

   • Stocked the school library with 50 new books, sparking excitement among young readers.

4. Environmental Stewardship:

   • Conducted a trail cleanup, inspiring other trekkers and locals to join the movement toward a cleaner Langtang Valley.

A Legacy That Lives On

Although Langtang Trip 11 has come to a close, the work continues under the care of the local community. The skills, tools, and supplies left behind empower them to carry the progress forward, ensuring a brighter future for the valley and its people.

Each layer of stone, every book delivered, and each piece of trash collected is a step toward resilience and transformation. Together, we’re building more than just walls—we’re building a stronger, more united community.
