One of the nearest trekking destinations from Kathmandu lies an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and cultural riches of Langtang Rasuwa. Linked by roads, this region offers a life unfolding and unique experience.

LANGTANG GOSAIKUNDA NATIONAL PARK
The Langtang National Park is the second largest among Nepali's eight national parks. Occupying 56% of the district and stretching up to the Tibetan border, it has a high level of biodiversity including 15 forest types, 3000 species of flowering plants like oaks, fir, blue pine, spruce and various species of rhododendron. Extensive forests and varied vegetation types, provide a habitat for approximately 32 mammals and 283 species of birds, including musk deer, snow leopards, red panda, wild dog, the Himalayan black bear and the clouded leopard. It is also a rich area for medicinal plants. Langtang has over 70 glaciers; the Langtang and Ganesh Himal mountain ranges and high altitude lakes including Gosaikunda, Parvatikunda, Bhairavkunda, Dudhkunda etc., this region also comprises rich Tamang art and culture at Gutlang and Goljung, ancient Buddhist monasteries such as Kyangin and Singgompa, Tatopani and the historic fort of Rasuwagadhi in the Sino-Nepal border.

GOSAIKUNDA
Gosaikunda is a mini trek by itself and can be done in as little as four days. However, because the trail involves a rapid ascent to a high elevation-4380m- it is best done after acclimatizing in Langtang or Helambu. Gosaikunda is a sacred lake for Hindus and Buddhists alike.

TAMANG HERITAGE
Previously a restricted area near the Tibetan border, the unexplored regions of the Langtang National Park has recently been developed into the Tamang Heritage Trail. The people in these places are mostly Tamang and Tibetan origin, whose culture goes back to hundreds of years. The craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses and the beautifully carved wooden porches reflect the solitude and the serenity of the Himalayan scenery.
