TREKKING IN LANGTANG REGION |
|
 |
|
Trek to this
region takes
us into some of
the wildest and
most scenic
areas of Nepal from the fertile
rice basins of TRISULI
to the
dense forests of
rhododendron and
conifer on the
higher slopes, the high alpine
Yak pastures,
glaciers and
moraines around Kyangin gompa.
The remote holy
Lakes at
Gosainkunda
along the route
we experience
the whole range
of Himalayan
topography.
The area, lies in
the Himalayan
National Park
and still
relatively
undisturbed,
supports a
healthy
population of
wildlife and
there are good
chances of
seeing various
species of wild
goat and deer,
possibly even
better. Bird and
botanical life
are equally
impressive all
set against the
backdrop of the
magnificent
Mountains.
The Langtang
valley is mostly
inhabited by
Tibetans,
some Khampa
refugees and the
lower part by Tamangs.
