Langtang National
Park. |

|

Langtang is
one of the most unspoiled national parks of Nepal.
Situated North of Kathmandu, it is the most easily
accessible highland sanctuary from the capital. Langtang
covers 1,710 sq. km. forming the upper catchment areas
of two of Nepal's largest river systems - the Trishuli
and Koshi. There is great latitudinal variation,
starting at 1,500 m. and ascending to the top of Mt.
Langtang Lirung at 7,234 m. As a result the park has
immense ecological diversity. Some of the most
attractive areas of the park include the Langtang
Valley, the holy lakes at Gosainkunda, and the forested
hillsides above the village of Helambu.
The deep gorges of Bhote Koshi and Langtang
Khola are thickly forested with rhododendron, oak, maple
and alder. The stretch of forest around Ghoda Tabela in
the lower Langtang Valley and below Gosainkunda is
inhabited by the red panda, a rare and threatened symbol
of a healthy Himalayan ecosystem. Other animals, common
to these forests are wild boar, Himalayan black bear,
ghoral, grey langur monkey and leopard. The rare
Himalayan hony guide has been sighted here and the park
is also the home for Impeyan, Tragopan and kalij
pheasants among others. Larch, a rare deciduous conifer,
is also found in the forest of lower Langtang Valley.
Further up, Himalayan tahr, musk deer and snow leopard
can be found. The upper Langtang Valley is one of he few
known breeding grounds of the ibils bills besides the
Tibetan snow cock and snow partridge.
Like other Himalayan nature parks, Langtang has
to be explored on foot. There are several possible
trails to choose from depending on preference and time
available. The langtang Valley is easily approached from
Dhunche town and park office, which is a day's drive
from Kathmandu. The upper reaches of Langtang can be
reached in four days of easy walking, however, it is
advisable to spend a few days around the forest at Ghoda
Tabela to watch for the red panda. Once above Langtang
village and the monastery at Kyangin, visitors can
explore the high valley of Langshisa Yala peak and Tsero,
Ri. These and other villages of upper Langtang are
inhabited by people of Tibetan descent whereas the
villagers of Dhunche, Bharkhu and Syabru further down
are home to the Tamangs of Nepal's middle hills.
Entry Fee Per Person Per Entry:
For Nepalese Nationals, Free
For SAARC Nationals, Rs. 100/-
For Other Foreign Nationals, Rs. 1,000/-
(Note: Entrance fee not required for children
under 10 years). Access: The high pass out
of Langtang, Gang la(5,132 m), can be negotiated only by
well prepared hikers with guides, food and camping
equipment. The Gosainkunda can also be reached in a few
days from Dhunche, making it possible to visit both
areas in the same outing.
Alternatively, trekkers can hike to Gosainkunda from
Sundarijal in the Kathmandu Valley via the picturesque
villages of Helambu. The richly forested route that
climbs steeply from here to Thare Pati and Gopte Cave is
alive with birds and flowering rhododendron and orchids
in the spring. Tourists can visit the Langtang National
Park anytime from March to November but it is best to
avoid the monsoon season because of rains and
overflowing rivers. The nature enthusiast on the other
hand might find the rainy season ideal because of the
profusion of plant life.
Note:

years Park
