About Langtang National Park in Kathmandu

Langtang National Park in Nepal is one of the places still untouched and untarnished by all the urbanisation.

Established in 1976, this protected area covers the districts of Nuwakot, Rasuwa and Sindhupalchok in Central Nepal Himalayas. Langtang National Park shares its northern and eastern borders with Qomolangma National Nature Preserve in Tibet China. On the south lies Kathmandu Valley some 32 km away. On its west is Nepal’s largest water system – Trishuli and Koshi Rivers. The forest offers an extensive ecological biodiversity for a variety of flora and fauna to thrive in perfect harmony. Gosaikunda Lake and Dorje Lakpa range bisects the park from east to west and from south to east. The beautiful view of the highest summit Langtang Lirung is something worth remembering. The flora here consists of typical upper tropical vegetation – firs, maples, pines, oaks and hemlocks are aplenty. Among fauna, red panda, Himalayan black bear, leopard and musk deer are native.

Trekking in Langtang National Park:

Langtang National Park is best explored on foot. Nothing quite matches the experience of taking in the beauty of the nature with every step. The main trek routes here are the Langtang Valley, Helambu and Gosaikunda Lake. The valley routes can be approached from Dhunche city. Ghoda Tabela lies midway to all the long distance hikes and there are many pandas here. The villages of Langisha Yala and Tsero Ri also falls on the way. Gang La is the highest pass in Langtang National park trekking routes, mostly travelled by veteran hikers. Gosaikunda Lake via the picturesque Helambu village is perfect for an alternate route, lush with flowering plants and covered in high canopies. For even remoter routes, one can venture to the Panch Pokhari region towards the east of Helambu, where there are five lakes clustered together or to the toe of Langshisa ice mass along the Gang La pass.

Aravind's 8 days trip to kathmandu

The coordinator did a great job overall but could have been more attentive. There was some confusion with the itinerary, but it was managed well. Hotels (Ama la - Thamel, Kathmandu ; Tuki resort, Pokhara ; De Purang, Muktinath ; Rain forest, Chitwan) all were good. The food was best in Chitwan. Thanks for the great memories - Amit. Good job.

Arulak's 8 days trip to kathmandu

Travel agents in some places provide lower categories of hotels even though better accommodation available. Picking up at the airport should be rightly maintained. Also the facilities available in any place of visit to be rightly mentioned in the program. The trip was wonderful journey with a friendly Driver cum Guide Mr Balaram. He satisfied all our needs and queries.

Guptaankita's 6 days trip to kathmandu

Big thanks to MD Adventure travel and tours and especially to Shabu who went above and beyond her role, for making our Nepal trip super smooth and stress-free! She was always just a call away—even on the eve of the Nepali New Year. She welcomed us at the airport with a big smile and handled everything so well, even when rain messed up our itinerary. Really appreciate her support and flexibility throughout the trip! If u are planning a trip to nepal do it through them. Highly recommended.

Bedanta's 6 days trip to kathmandu

Every thing is well organised. Driver niranjan is very humble and helpful. Always on time. Hotels are good, clean and food is also good. Hotel shangrila nagarkot is spacious with a great view of the mountain and sunrise can be seen from the bed itself . Hotel lake paradise is overall good but all electric sockets are non functional in both the rooms but extension board was arranged by the hotel staff which is great help. All the hotels are clean staff are helpful. Hotel Taleju in kathmandu is good. Car given to us is actually a chinese made electric van which they called a luxury van with no view of outside and poor suspension. It requires charging twice on route to Pokhara and Kathmandu. Power cut in charging station is frequent and long queue makes it a very impractical vehicle for tourists who visit for leisure. Driver tried his best to keep us comfortable during the journey. Owner of the agency get offended when I compared the Chinese van with Maruti eco. But actually the van is poor in suspension then eco and cant see anything outside. According to them if the seats are reclining it comes under luxury category.. actually its not their fault the agency already sent the pictures of the vehicle at the time of booking but I mistook it by its look with the luxury tourist van that are used in other South East Asian countries. These vehicles may be a good option only after the highway construction and is completed.
