Langtang is towards the north
of the Kathmandu Valley and just south of the Tibetan
boarder. 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 parts of the area largely fall within the
boundaries of Langtang National Parks.
The main ethnic groups here are Sherpa and tamang whose
religious practices, languages and dress are much
similar to those of Tibet.
A visit to the 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 here is spectacular and the
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.
