Langtang is one of the most unspoiled national parks of Nepal. Situated North of Kathmandu, it is the most easily accessible highland sanctuary from the capital.

Some of the most attractive areas of the park include the Langtang Valley, the holy lakes at Gosainkunda, and the forested hillsides above the village of Helambu.

The red panda can be found here. Other animals, common to these forests are wild boar, Himalayan black bear, ghoral, grey langur monkey and leopard.

As with other Himalayan nature parks, Langtang has to be explored on foot and there are several possible trails to choose from.
