I have done the Langtang trek 2 months ago and staying in Bamboo lodge (among others). Do you know if the very friendly owner and her family survived? Also I heard that Langtang Village got completely destroyed. Have you seen any survivors or heard anything about the situation there? I would be very grateful for an answer.

Basically a lot of the "tribes" people live in the cities just like us. A lot of them only come back to their village if there's a special occasion. They have electricity and radio and know how to use a computer (mostly in the local cyber café). Their lifestyle has changed a lot and our perception of them is a lot driven by media. There are some uncontacted people left, however, but the vast majority has a pretty "modern" lifestyle.
