Overview
Langtang trek is one of the most exciting treks in Nepal, where you can view the amazing terraced fields of mustard in the lower altitude. Langtang valley is a nearest Himalayan region from Kathmandu valley and hence, it is a short trek and is close to the border with Tibet and China. People living in this region are descendant of the Tibetan origin so you can experience the Tibetan lifestyle here. Langtang National Park is country's first National Park which is situated between the Himalayan range to the north, dominated by several peaks such as Langtang Lirung (7,245 m), Chimse Danda (ridge), Ganja La pass (5,122 m), Jugal Himal and Dorje Lakpa (6,989 m). Langtang is also best known for its glaciers and high altitude lakes such as Gosainkunda, Parvatikunda, Bhairavkunda and Dudhkunda. The forests in the region have temperate and sub-alpine vegetation with wildlife including deer, migratory bird, Tahr, monkey and Pika. The best season for the Langtang valley trek is autumn (mid Sept to mid Dec) and spring (March to May).
