The
regions of Langtang and Helambu offer brilliant Himalaya trekking challenges. Though found not far from the Valley of Kathmandu, a trip to these regions
offers not only magnificent views of the lofty mountains but also a real insight into the Nepalese way of life. Meet local people who whose livelihoods depend agriculture, cross beautiful
Sherpa villages and visit old monasteries. From the high valley of Langtang,
you can reach the sacred lakes of Gosaikund, a famous Hindu pilgrimage site, or
discover the important spiritual site of the Buddhist monastery of Kyanjin
Gompa. Trek through the lush green mountains and discover a fascinating
fusion of Tibeto-Nepalese cultures. This region is the land of the Tamang
people, a former Buddhist tribe, who used to practice horse trading between Tibet
and Nepal. Tamang welcomes, beautiful alpine landscapes, verdant
meadows and rhododendron forests will accompany your stay, against a
backdrop of magnificent, soaring views of the Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang
and Dorje Lakpa mountains…
