Langtang is a narrow valley bordering to Tibet but still far away from Tibetan Plateau. A trek to the Langtang valley is a great opportunity to explore villages, climb small peaks, and to visit glaciers at comfortably low elevations. People living here look like Tibetans. A great influence of Tibet can be experienced in this valley. Tamang tribe is the main settler in this region. Trekkers pass through two different national parks while trekking in this region. The first one is Langtang and the second is Shivapuri National Park, the only national park in the capital city and just 20 km far away from international airport.
