Langtang Valley, Gosainkunda & Helambu Trekking: (17 days)

Langtang trek combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang, with the high mountain lake Known as Gosainkunda and Helambu. You can see the people and their living culture, the mountains, and the jungles. The Langtang region was Nepal's first Himalayan national park which can be accessible by bus, just 8 hours drive. This trek takes us through numerous Tamang and sherpa villages (Tibetan related peoples), through high elevation pastures, and finally to the foot of Langtang Lirung (7234m/23,732’). The result is that the Langtang region is home to many endangered and rare animals including the bharal sheep, red panda, wild yak, and the snow leopard, as well as intimate villages that still live traditionally. Langtang is now one of the few places in central Nepal where traditional dress, lifestyles, and cultures abound. Helambu, about 72 kilometers north-east of Kathmandu, is noted for its scenic grandeur and pleasant climate. The Helambu region, extending from north of Taramarang to the tree limit of the Gosainkunda Lake and lower slopes of Jugal Himal, has several highland Tamang and Sherpa villages, scattered on both sides of the Malemchi Khola.
