The region is close by and is accessible by few hours drive from Kathmandu. This region is likely to be the third popular trekking destinations in Nepal after Annapurna and Everest regions. The Tamang Heritage Trail, Langtang Valley, the sacred alpine lakes of Gosainkunda and the rolling Sherpa farmland of Helambu can be mix matched to bring out a perfect trek to the best of your need and fitness. This trek is surprisingly underrated and fairly uncrowded probably because it doesn’t have higher mountains above 8000 meters.
