The region north of Katmandu offers a multitude of trekking destinations, all accessible without flights. The major areas are Lang tang, Gosainkund and Helambu, which can be combined in many different ways to make treks lasting from seven to 16 days. Lang tang treks offer an experience not found elsewhere. The trails are challenging with long, steep climbs and descents, often through deep forests or across glacial mountain views and interesting villages with well-established lodges.
One of the nearest trekking destinations from Katmandu lies an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and cultural riches of Lang tang, Rasuwa. Linked by roads, this region offers a life unfolding and unique experience.
Previously a restricted area near the Tibetan border, the unexplored regions of the Lang tang National park has recently been developed into the Tamang Heritage Trail. The people in this place are mostly of Tamang and Tibetan origin, whose culture goes back to hundreds of years. The craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses and the beautifully carved wooden porches reflect the solitude and the serenity of the Himalayan scenery.
