The Langtang Trek is to the north of the valley of Kathmandu. It is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibet border and is sandwiched between the main Himalayan range to the north and slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. Langtang Lirung (7246 m) dominates the valley to the north; Gang Chhenpo (6388 m) and NayaKhangri (5846 m) lie to the south; and DorjeeLakpa (6966m) protects the east end of the valley. The area was designated Nepal’s first HimalayanNational Park in 1971.
