Gosainkund
Helambu Trekking
The Valley of
Langtang is protected as the Langtang
National Park.
The
most striking feature are the contrasting
climates, terrains and flora to be found
here within a close proximity. The trail
could begin in a tropical forest and
by evening put you in the middle of
a freezing alpine landscape.
The sacred lake of Gossaikund is one
of the chief lures here. The Hindu faithful
come to worship the numerous shrines
of Lord Shiva in the area. Great views
of Langtang Lirung (7245m), Ganesh Himal(7146m)
and Dorje Lhakpa(6990m) peaks are the
reward for the trekkers.
The
language, culture and dress of the Helambu
Sherpas are very different from the
Solu Khumbu Sherpas. Accessibility has
created an influx of tourist, making
Helambu a popular tourists destination.
