The Langtang Region

The Langtang Region Trekking lies in the north of the Kathmandu city. The Langtang valley runs west to east below the southern flanks and glaciers of langtang lirung(7245m), which separates this high alpine valley from the Tibetan plateau to the north.

Sherpa farmers inhabit this and the Helambu area lying to the south beyond and below the sacred lakes of Gosainkunda.Easily accessible from Kathmandu we consider the treks in this area to be amongst the most underrated in Nepal. Marvelous autumn trekking with fine mountain views, and one of the bets areas for spring flowers and bird-life. Although Langtang valley can be very cold in Janaury-february with the Gosainkunda pass closed, Helambu is temperate year-round and offers good possibilities for short treks into sherpa villages.

The Langtang region is easily accessible from kathmandu. Each area in itself is a good choice for those with limited time. It offers many features that range from culture to adventure. The Himalayan views are great and they remain unforgettably beautiful plus the trails are less crowded and the peoples are friendly and interesting. They have real Tibetan culture and the village is real remote Tibetan style settlement around there and few monasteries are interesting to see. The 90% is chance to see many different wild animals because the area is covering by Langtang National park.
