Langtang National Park

Kathmandu, Nepal

Description:

Langtang National Park, located in the Kathmandu area, is the oldest national park, which later became the first protected area in the Himalayas. The protected area exceeds the altitude range of 6450 meters and covers an area of 1710 square meters. In the northeast, Langtang borders Tibet, its western border runs along the Bhote Kosi and Trisuli rivers, and the southern one 32 kilometers from the Kathmandu valley.

The vegetation of the park is a perfect example of the natural wealth of the central Himalayas. Below 1000 meters above sea level, subtropical forests grow: oak, maple, fir, blue pine, spruce and various types of rhododendrons. Climbing the mountains up, you can observe how subtropical vegetation is replaced by alpine, gradually disappearing in the north, giving way to snow.

In the forests, which cover 25% of the park, live wild dog, Himalayan black bear, musk deer, ordinary langur, monkey – rhesus, as well as red panda, listed in the Red Book.

In the Langtang National Park, you can forever admire the high mountain plains, combined with wild jungles and lakes, ancient monasteries and temples, which are visited by thousands of pilgrims and pilgrims from around the world. And also take advantage of the opportunity to improve yourself not only with the help of SPA treatments, but also active recreation, which is represented here by trekking, rafting, cycling, paragliding, kayaking and other types.
