The Langtang region
which falls in the central Nepal, is
very easily accessible from Kathmandu.
Langtang is a narrow valley that lies
just south of the Tibetan border Kyirong.
This high and isolated region is
inhabited by Tamangs whose religious
practices, language and dress are much
more similar to those of Tibet than to
the traditions of their cousins in the
middle hills. The upper valley in
Langtang is a grazing paradise, rich in
flowers and grass and dotted with stone
huts used in the summertime
butter-making.
Gosainkunda, high up within an open
ridge, offers shorter treks than
Langtang. Gosainkund Lake (4,298 m), is
sacred spot and is dedicated to Lord
Shiva. It is a holy lake where thousands
of pilgrims gather every year during
August full moon. Shiva is said to have
created holy Gosainkund Lake with his
trident, and its waters are believed to
be connected via subterranean channels
to Patan's Khumbeshwar Mahadev temple.
Around this region there are other 13
beautiful lakes.
Rhododenron forests, Tamang villages and
smiling faces are the main highlights of
this region. Once you are in you are
walking through a preserved National
Park area where, if you are lucky, might
encounter with wild animals like wild
boar, bear, barking dear, leopard or
even red panda.
We offer following treks in Langtang
area. All of them are suitable as family
trips too. |
