Langtang

This book is a guide to two relatively small regions of this land of Shangri-
La-Latang and Helambu- linked by the sacred lakes of Gosainkund. Easily
reached from Kathmandu they hold a rich diversity of landscape, culture and
vegetation. The first is a high, seemingly remote valley running parallel with
the Tibetan border and flanked by lofty mountains; the second is more
populous, with verdant hillsides, a benevolent climate and several prosperous
villages, while the lakes of Gosainkund are trapped in wild country wedged
between the two.
Packed with useful information for both independent and group trekkers, plus
over 20 trekking routes, glossary and bibliography,
