Langtang Region

Langtang region, also known as Langtang National Park, is north of Kathmandu and borders Tibet. The National Park covers an area of 1770 sq. km. It has Mt. Langtang Lirung (7234m), Langtang II (7205m), Yubra Himal, Ganchempo, Dorje Lakpa, Langsisa Ri, Ganesh Himal, and Naya Kanga peak. There are several Lakes in the National Park. Still, Gosainkunda Lake is more popular because of the abodes of Shiva, according to Hindu mythology, and it has attracted Hindu pilgrims to worship Shiva.

About one-fourth of the park is a forest of various Rhododendrons, Oaks, Blue pines, Chamaecyparis, Fire, Hemlock, Spruce, and others. It is a haven for the snow leopard, leopard, Himalayan black bear, Red Panda, and wild dog. It is home to the Tamang and Sherpa ethnic groups, where we can experience Buddhist culture. We do popular activities in the Langtang region, such as trekking, climbing, and white-water rafting.
