Tamang Heritage Trail - Langtang
Experience untouched Tamang/Tibetan culture amidst breath-taking Himalayan scenery
 A trekker's haven
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.
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.

Langtang 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.
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.
