One of the nearest trekking destinations from Kathmandu lies an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and cultural riches of Langtang Rasuwa. Linked by roads, this region offers a life unfolding and unique experience. Previously a restricted area near the Tibetan border, the unexplored regions of the Langtang National Park has recently been developed into the Tamang Heritage Trail. The people in these places are mostly Tamang and Tibetan origin, whose culture goes back to hundreds of years. The craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses and the beautifully carved wooden porches reflect the solitude and the serenity of the Himalayan scenery.

Rasuwa’s Hidden Treasure

The Langtang valley is the most popular trek destination. Equally rich in culture and high biodiversity are the Goljung-Gutlang-Chilime-Thuman and Briddim areas. Goljung-Gutlang- Chilime- Thuman- Briddim area (see map), an identified Tamang and Tibetan art and cultural heritage trek route are one of the most accessible of the trekking regions in Nepal.

Getting There 

The area lies 122 Km linked by road from Kathmandu. You will take a drive for six hours by car or bus from Kathmandu to Trishuli Bazaar. The winding roads are paved and offer good mountain views. Ranipauwa is the only large village in route. From Trishuli, the 50km road to Dhunche is a steep off-road experience passing through Betrawati. The road continues to the beautiful villages at the foot of the mountains where your journey to the top begins.

The Langtang Valley is one of the most beautiful places in Nepal. It is the favorite of most trekkers seeking stunning landscapes and authentic culture along with heartwarming hospitality in delightful homestay guest houses — all within easy reach of Kathmandu.

Normally, I use to organize every bodies trip as package base for that easiness for the trip. It means, they are free from all kinds of dealing with cost every day. They can explore with beautiful sceneries of Himalayas and natures every day with flexible services. So many my previous clients they were so satisfied and enjoyed a lot with my Guiding performance and all kinds of services during those trips.
