LANGTANG & HELAMBU REGION

A trekking tour in Langtang and Helambu region offers a unique possibility to watch the Nepalese Himalaya from west to east in totality. Langtang Himal and its several peaks on one hand, bewitch the tourist and the fresh water lakes of this region such as Gosainkunda, Saraswati kunda and many other small lakes situated at the height of more than 4300 mt. create in tourists a manifold interest.

Gosainkunda (Holy Lake) at Langtang region and the stories of their mythical origin have enriched the Nepalese legends and Nepalese religious tradition.

This is why the Hindus of all over the worlds go on a pilgrimage to these lakes during the full moon of August and pray homage to Lord Shiva. These lakes have become the destination for both the romantics, sentimental, emotional and religious soul. Moreover, this region presents a variety of possibilities regarding trekking tours. Since the altitudes and the accessibility to arrive at such altitudes are varied, you can start a trekking tour in this region quite down from low altitude and as per your interest, stamina, and corresponding capacity, you can arrive at an altitude of more than 5500 mt. The Gosainkunda and Ganjala passes are among the most preferred passes for the high altitude trekkers. The Langtang and Helambu region is the second greatest conserved national park of Nepal enriched by more than 1000 different species of flora and at the same time it is the natural home of 150 different species of birds and many wild animals such as tigers, beers, deer, wild sheep, snow-leopard and etc. It offers an ideal trek for those without much time but who wish to experience Nepal's unique combination of cultures and landscapes while avoiding grueling bus journeys before reaching the beautiful sights of the Nepalese trekking trails.

A good level of physical fitness is needed to complete this trail although no previous trekking experience is essential.
