Langtang Region Trekking

This high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamang whose religious practices, language and dress are much more similar to the Tibetan. "Lang" is Tibetan word and means of "YAK" and "Tang" means "to follow". This valley is the graze land of Yaks and still find in trails while going Kyanjing and Gosaikunda. Trekking in the Langtang Valley presents the colorful culture, religion and traditions of ethnic groups of Tibetan origin. With varied topographic features and climatic conditions, this is considered relatively less trekked region. The turbulent streams, sub-alpine grasslands and close view of Langtang Lirung (7,246m), Gang Chhenpo (6,388m), Lenpo Gang (7,083m), Dorje Lakpa (6,990m) and many more peaks offer a unique experience to visitors.

As the holy pilgrimage site of Gosainkunda is not very far from this beautiful valley, one can visit. Several thousands of pilgrims, both Buddhists and Hindus, throng Gosainkunda in August each year to have a dip into the cold and spiritually refreshing water one of the holiest lake in Nepal, where thousands of pilgrims throng each August to bathe in its spiritually refreshing cold water.
