Langtang Valley and Gosaikunda
Lake trekking combines the remote and spectacular valley of Langtang,
with the high mountain lake Known as Gosainkunda. 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 feet). 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.
