Online quotation for trekking insurance Information on booking international flights The Langtang area extends north of Kathmandu to the Tibetan border. This area was first explored by Bill Tilman, the well known Himalayan explorer and mountaineer, and described it as “one of the world's most beautiful valleys”. The trek passes through magnificent forests home to the endangered red panda, himalayan black bear and musk deer. The Langtang valley then opens out to an alpine plateau with fine views of Langtang and Ganesh Himal. From the last village of Kyangin Gompa, you can explore the impressive glaciated upper valley surrounded by high Himalayan peaks. The trek up to Gosainkund takes you through the high alpine zone, then crossing the Laurabina La adorned with hundreds of prayer flags and down into the Helambu valley. This valley has a rich Sherpa culture and offers some excellent ridge walking with superb views north to the Himalayas and the forested hills to the south.
