Overview
Langtang is towards north of the Kathmandu Valley and just south of the Tibetan boarder of Nepal. It is sandwiched 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 part of the area lies within the boundaries of Langtang National Park. The main ethnic groups living in this area are Sherpa and Tamang whose religious practices, languages and dress are much similar to Tibetans. Visit to Langtang Valley offers an opportunity to explore villages, climb small peaks and visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. The forests in this region have temperate and sub-alpine vegetation. Wildlife includes migratory birds, deer, monkeys, Thar, and Pika. The scenery is spectacular and the Langtang trekking is more adventurous. The main highlights of the Langtang Excursion Trek are Langtang National Park, Kyangjing Gompa, Yak Cheese factory, typical Tamang villages and diversity of flora and fauna.
