Gosainkund & Helambu, Tamang Heritage Trail
To the north of Kathmandu, the Langtang, Gosainkund, Helambu and Tamang
Heritage regions are a surprisingly pristine garden of nature’s wonders.
Enchanting forests host rarely seen wildlife, such as the endangered red panda
and musk deer. Sheer ramparts guard the tremendous cirque of Himalayan
glaciers and finely fluted ice walls of the upper Langtang valley. Colourful
idols abound in ancient monasteries. Below the fluffy clouds above the
Gosainkund ridges, pilgrims bow in reverence beside 108 sacred lakes. Trekking
around the Langtang region is an exquisite experience, where the authentic
face of Nepal presents a kaleidoscope of variety and interest. From sparkling
spires and furrowed valleys to sweeping terraced hillsides and quaint village
lanes, the Langtang region is sure to capture your heart.
