    In spring the forest are lively with the flaming blooms of wild flowers and the national flower rhododendrons, a beautiful contrast against the high snow capped peaks and the crystal blue sky.

    Langtang area, at present is the third popular trekking area in Nepal after Annapurna and Everest region. This fabulous trek, a perfect combination of moderate and vigorous walk leading to the high alpine valley with the backdrop of high snow capped peaks, in the spring this place is alive with wild flowers.

    Become a pilgrim, and head to the shimmering lakes at Gosainkund.  There you will find peace and serenity alongside the Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims.  It is no wonder this area is sacred, affording views extending all the way to the Annapurnas.  Cross Laurabina Yak La Pass, (4,615 m), adjoining the Gosainkund and Helambu regions.  At this higher altitude, the terrain will transform to arid alpine above tree line and the villages will become sparser.  Descend on steep mountain trails high above the valley.  Culturally, Helambu is one of the most culturally wealthy regions in Nepal.  Prominent to this region north of Kathmandu, are peoples of Tibetan origin.
