Langtang is a narrow valley sandwiched between the main Himalayan range to the north, bordering Tibet, and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. A visit to the Langtang Valley offers an opportunity to explore village , bag small peaks and visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation . through it’s close to Kathmandu , the region sees far fewer trekkers (about 4500 annually) than Everest and Annapurna.
Mighty Langtang Lirung (7246m) dominates the valley to the north; Gang Chhenpo (6388m) and the trekking peak of Naya Kangri (5846m)lie to the south; and Dorje Lakpa (6966m) protects the east end of the valley . the area was designated Nepal’s first Himalayan national park in 1971, although the peak was not officially established until 1976.
