 The closest are to
Kathmandu that can offer a spectacular trek
in the Nepalese Himalayan highlands is to
the north of it. The area of Langtang,
Gosainkund and Helambu, which is populated
by the Sherpa community, provides easy
access and superb mountain scenery with its
range of Himalyan peaks: Langtang Lirung,
Dorje Lakpa, Gangchemo, etc. The high
Langtang valley with its scattered Sherpa
villages and glaciers offers great
opportunity for trekking and climbing of
small peaks. From Langtang, hiking to the
sacred Gosainkund lake and crossing the pass
leading down to the Helambu region allows
for an extended trek of 15 days or more into
the Helambu region can be organized from
Kathmandu.
