Langtang region lies
in the central part of Nepal which covers the Langtang Helambu trekking.
There are mainly three major trekking areas-Langtang, Gosaikund and Helambu.
A three-week trip could cover all the three areas.The langtang Valley
lies closer to Kathmandu than any other trekking regions, and is lesser
used by both trekkers and local. Just after the monsoon, this trek gives
superb views of the great peak of Langtang Lirung (7246m) which dominates
the upper valley and straddles the Tibetan border. In spring time it is
an ideal place to spot birds and flowers of Nepal . According to a legend,
a lama following a runaway yak discovered the valley, hence the name-
Lang(Tibetan name for YAK), Tang (more currently "Dhang" means
to follow). There are good opportunity for moderate climbing excursions
here, you should allow some extra days for explorations of the extensive
glacier system. The famous Jugal Himalayan ranges also lies in this region.
The ethnic people like Tamangs and Sherpa inhabiting in this area. A visit
to the Langtang valley offers an opportunity to explore villages to climb
small peak and to visit Glaciers at low elevation. Here is the famous
sacred place with beautiful Lake Gosaikund (4300m). Many Hindu and Bouddish
pilgrims visit the Lake during a full-moon festival in August.
The Langtang National Park is rich in Flora and Fauna so it is good destination
for Botanical research. The wild flowers like Sky-blue gentions, Primulas,
Epiphytic Orchids, etc found in these areas. The birds like Buzzards,
Hoopoe, Cuckooz, Barbets, Owls, Nightjars, Laughing thrushes' Red-billed
