Langtang National Park is situated in the Helambu region, north of Kathmandu, in Nepal and it covers an area of approximately 1,710 square kilometers. It extends over parts of the Nuwakot, Rasuwa, and Sindhulpalchok districts within the mountainous terrain of the Himalayas. The park encompasses lush forests, high altitude grasslands, and ravines, with elevations varying from 1,500 to 7,227 meters at the summit of Langtang Lirung. It was established in 1976 as Nepal's first Himalayan national park, characterized by its rich biodiversity. The park is home to various endemic wildlife including the endangered red panda, Himalayan tahr, and musk deer. Snow leopards and the elusive clouded leopard also roam these parts. The flora consists of a mix of subtropical and alpine species, including dense bamboo and rhododendron forests. The region also features sacred lakes like Gosainkunda and cultural richness, with Tibetan influences evident in the villages and monasteries. Trekkers explore Langtang Valley, Gosaikunda, and Helambu trails, experiencing both natural beauty and cultural heritage.
