The Langtang region lies just north of the Kathmandu valley and is close to Kathmandu. Unlike popular trekking regions like Annapurna and Everest, Langtang is not so crowded, hence it happens to be an ideal trek for those who want a quieter trek.

The Langtang area is among the closest ones for hiking from Kathmandu. It grants easy access to one of the most beautiful hiking spots in Nepal. During the Langtang region trek, one can explore the wonderful cultural villages, Tamang heritage, scenic Langtang valley, holy lakes at Gosainkunda, and breathtaking Helambu valley. From its panoramic mountain views down to its lovely landscape vistas, to the welcoming hospitality of the locals, everything speaks volumes of a culture and lifestyle so different from that to which the tourists might have been accustomed. The most rural mountain region is certainly the most charming, with just that element of nature that makes Langtang so different. The Langtang region lies to the north of Helambu and Gosaikunda in the Himalayan valley and is the home of the Tamangs and Tibetans (Bhotes). During Langtang Trekking, one can be immersed in mountain life and catch a glimpse of the culture that is so different from the rest of the world.
