  • Located in Central Himalayas, Langtang National Park is the most unblemished highland sanctuary yet the nearest to bustling Kathmandu city. Established in 1976, it extends 32 kilometres north up to Nepal- Tibet border, forming the upper catchment areas of Nepal’s two largest rivers, Trishuli and Koshi. From 1500 metres, Mount Langtang reaches a height of up to 7234 metres that makes the Langtang National Park, ecologically diverse.

    Langtang National Park is one of the famous wildlife sanctuaries in Nepal that preserved natural surroundings, protecting endangered wildlife. Several ethnic groups co-exist with nature in Langtang, following traditional practices to protect resources.

  • Vegetation:
  • With varying climatic conditions and complicated topography, the Central Himalayan region has facilitated thick vegetation. Subtropical forest, temperate oak and pine forests at mid-level, with alpine scrub and grasses are substituted by bare rocks and snow in the higher reaches. Blue Pine, Hemlock, Spruce, Oak, Chir Pine, Maple, Fir and Rhododendron are the main forest species in the deep gorges of Bhote Koshi and Langtang Khola.
