The issue we are facing is not one of falling rocks or lacking a partner, it is the very likely reality that there is a serial killer in the Langtang region and there is a complete lack of either willingness or ability of law enforcement to do anything about it. I wouldn't go to Langtang right now with ten people.<br /><br />Banning solo trekking is not the solution to these kind of problems. People will go solo trekking regardless of what laws are passed in Nepal, because there is no enforcement, and some people prefer solo trekking, even being perfectly aware of the additional dangers, which are certainly greater, but in my opinion sometimes worth it for the additional freedom of travel. Unfortunately as we have seen, being a woman puts you at much greater risk than being a man.Brian Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550716842149752526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704658911492867741.post-79214255326861915132013-03-31T21:51:16.509+05:302013-03-31T21:51:16.509+05:30I agree with anonymous.

Not only because something wrong is happening in Langtang region but because it's hazardous to travel in the mountains alone. You may think that the trail is safe. There are several places with land slides and stone falls. Plus almost no law and justice in a country like Nepal. It's everyone's own risk to trek alone any place in the world. I've been to Langtnag more than 10 times, know almost each family there. And heard a lot of stories. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE never trek alone, in Langtang or any other place. Do we need the Nepali government to prohibit individual trekking? Aren't we educated enough to understand the danger? Even the villagers rarely travel alone, especially ladies. Always look for a friend.
