Overview And Highlights

Langtang Trekking categorized as tea house trekking has several stops in between the trekking path. Langtang  is towards the north of the Kathmandu Valley. It is just south of the Tibetan boarder. Langtang trekking takes you to the journey between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. To the west of Langtang is Ganesh Himal with a range of 6,000 to 7,000 meters. The northern parts of the area largely fall within the boundaries of Langtang National Parks.

Trek to Langtang Valley offers an opportunity to explore some of the unique features of the valley. Typical Tamang village in its centuries old lifestyple, Kyangjing Gompa, Yak Cheese factory, typical Tamang villages and diversity of flora and fauna. The forests in this region have temperate and sub- alpine vegetation. Wildlife includes migratory birds, deer, monkeys, Thar, and Pika. The scenery here is spectacular and the trekking is more adventurous. The main ethnic groups here are Sherpa and Tamang whose culture and religious practices are similar to those of Tibetans.
