| Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just south
of the Tibetan border. It is located between the main Himalayan
ranges to the north and slightly lower range of snowy peaks
to the south. This high and isolated region is inhabited by
Tamangs whose religious believes and practices; language, traditions
and dress are more alike with those of Tibetan people. Langtang
valley offers an opportunity to explore villages, climb small
peaks and what's more important pure nature surroundings will
bring peace to your heart and you'll enjoy being part of nature.

Much
of this region falls into Lantang National Park, Nepal's
first Himalayan national park, and away from the larger
settlements, you can enjoy seeing old-growth forest:
rhododendron, oak, alder, pine and much more. Beautiful
flowers such as the sky-blue gentians of alpine regions,
primroses of moist areas, epiphytic orchids of wet forests
which bloom during many times of the year will accompany
you on your way. |

Langtang
is rich in rare species of animals being the region
where one hundred and sixty species of birds like cuckoos,
owls, barbets, nightjars, black-capped sibias, yellow-billed
magpies- just few of them and more than thirty species
of mammals have been observed, including a very rare
snow leopard, only a few dozen specimens of which survive
in the entire Himalaya. This trekking route also offers

which are holy places for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims
and said, were created by God Shiva. |
