Overview
Langtang Gosaikunda Helambu Trek combines three major areas north of Kathmandu along the border of Tibet. This is a 13 days trek in the Langtang region of Nepal designed with an expert team of Himalayan Social Journey. Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border. It is sandwiched between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. This trek offers an opportunity to explore villages to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. Trekking in Langtang region is another most travelled trekking destination in Nepal after the Everest region and Annapurna region. This region is comparatively cheaper than the Everest and Annapurna region. Likewise, the trail is also less crowded and tea house accommodation are easily available.
