The langtang valley is sourrounded by high peaks of great appeal.
It has become famous ever since the British mountaineer Bill Tilman

peak in this area is Shisapangma or Gosaithan 8027m in Tibet. The
course from the Langtang valley to Gosaikund is full of diversity
and it is attracting many tourists. The langtang valley is also
know as the treasure house of Alpine plants. The whole valley is
cover with flowers during the summer.
This high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious
practices, language and dress are much more similar to Tibetan.

The people here are of Tibetan origin and call themselves sherpa
although they are quite distinct from the sherpas of Everest region

the Tamang people who also originated in Tibet but settled in Nepal
considerably earlier than Sherpas.
