Trekking In Langtang Region |
The Langtang Valley is a beautiful alpine region to the
North of Kathmandu bordering Tibet. The Langtang trek
offers the greatest diversity with the least effort of
Any trek in Nepal. There is a series of north- south
running valleys that provide a variety of possible
trekking routes. The Gosainkund and Helambu regions lie
to its south; these can be combined with Langtang to
make treks from 7 days to 21 days. The area was
designated Nepal's first Himalayan National Park in
1971, it is inhabited by Tamang people whose religious
practices, language and dress are much more similar to
those of Tibet than to the traditions of their cousins
in the middle hills. Here the high alpine scenery, with
mountains visible from inhabited nature of the country
makes this an ideal destination for trekkers who are on
a tight time schedule.
