Langtang and Helambu trekking area lies in the north of Kathmandu. This trek trail takes you to Langtang, Gosainkunda, and Helambu. The Langtang valley is aptly called “the valley of glaciers”. Here, the mountain view is spectacular. On either side of the valley, mountains rise, soaring into the sky. The valley offers pine forest, slow-moving rivers and swift mountain streams, rugged rock, and snow-capped peaks. In the upper part of the valley, there are snow bridges spanning angry torrents, high passes enveloped in mist, tiny lakes with icebergs floating on them, and water of crystalline brightness. There are also high mountains of solid ice. Gosainkunda, regarded as a sacred land in Hinduism, is dotted with lakes atop the mountain, offering a quiet respite. There are few visitors outside of those who come for the summer festival.
