LANGTANG AND HELAMBU VALLEY TREK
The tranquility of Nepal's beautiful 'Valley of Glaciers'
17 days - Pristine Forest - Traditional Culture - Valleys and Gorges - Easy access

Langtang remained unknown and mysterious until Bill Tilman's exploration in 1949, Following Tilman came Toni Hagen in 1952. Both ventured up into the Langtang's high valley and glacier areas probing for routes into Tibet. Langtang at present is the third most popular trekking area in Nepal after the Annapurna and Everest regions. This fabulous trek, a perfect combination of moderate trekking and moderate altitude leads us into high alpine valleys with backdrops of even higher snow capped peaks. We will all become pilgrims, as we head to the shimmering lakes and serenity of Gosainkund. This place, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists, affords us views extending all the way to the Annapurnas in the west. Prominent to this region north of Kathmandu, are peoples of Tibetan origin.
