| Legend has it that a Lama
while following a stray Yak stumbled into
the Langtang Valley; hence the name Langtang (Lang-Yak,
Tang-Follow). The region of Langtang - Helambu
is situated to the North of Kathmandu and is easily accessible.
This region features snow-covered peaks,
a mild climate, and friendly hospitable inhabitants making
it the ideal trekking destination the year round. The 1,710
sq km Langtang National Park hosts a variety
of natural spectacles, from green valleys alive with Langur
& Red Pandas to the towering oak and rhododendron forests
bursting natural color. The peaks of Langtang Lirung (7,246m),
Gang Chhenpo (6,388m) and Dorje Lakhpa (6,975m) surround the
beautiful Langtang valley. Helambu, a mid-elevation region
to the Park's south, is a study center of
Tibetan Buddhism. The Lamas (a Tibetan tribe) and the Tamang
people maintain a rich cultural heritage, evident in ornately
carved wooden windows, lively dance festivals, and skilled
weaving traditions. Trekkers can enjoy these sights using
any one of three main trekking routes of Langtang.
