At 3850m, Kyangjin Gompa is the highest permanent settlement in the Langtang Valley and the major trekking destination. One year after the first earthquake, a few of the guesthouses have been repaired or rebuilt, yet the majority of people continue to live in temporary shelters and shared spaces. Because the village of Langtang was destroyed, many of the people of Langtang are staying here now; and a handful of maybe 25 or 30 people spent the winter here.
