Langtang National Park
The Langtang National Park, which has trekking paths, beautiful foliage, and a diversity of flora and fauna species, was established in 1976 as Nepal's fourth national park. The park is situated at an approximate distance of 32 kilometers to the north of the capital city of Kathmandu and is linked to the Qomolangma National Nature Preserve in Tibet.
The tranquil, high altitude Gosaikunda Lake, which is thought to be sacred, is also located in the gorgeous park. From the dense forests which comprise the hilly areas, the area of the park spreads across the Nepalese larch in the middle before cascading down to the vast meadows of green grasslands. With over 250 bird species, 46 animal species, and over 1000 plant species, this location is great for nature aficionados.
The park contains 26 Village Executives and is spread across an area of 1710 square kilometers in the Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Sindhupalchok districts. It is positioned at an altitudinal range of 6450 meters above sea level. The park's apex is the massive Langtang Lirung, which stands at 7245 meters above sea level. The various trekking trails, each with a different level of difficulty, serve to people who come here in search of adventure. While Tibet's international boundary corresponds with the park's boundaries in the north and east, the park's western border follows the rushing rivers Trisuli and Bhote Kosi.
