The
Langtang trek goes through the Langtang national Park,which
was designated the first Himalayan National Park in 1970.
The area extends from north of Kathmandu to the Tibetan border,
with the highest peak in this area being Langtang Lirung at
7246m. The Langtang trek starts with a six-hour jeep ride
from Kathmandu to Dhunche.. Then we walk up through magnificent
forests and villages inhabited by people of Tibetan origin.
The Langtang trek is a good trek to see wild life, with the
area home for the endangered Red Panda, Himalayan Black Bear
and Musk Deer. The Langtang valley opens out eventually to
an alpine plateau with fine views of Langtang and Ganesh Himal.
From the last village of Kyangin Gompa, you can explore the
impressive glaciated upper valley. The Langtang trek can also
be extended to include a trip to the holy lakes at Gosaikund.
