Things to see and do Langtang

This park, created in 1976, covers 1 710 km 2 of tropical forest and regions with alpine brush and eternal snow. This representative park of the central Himalayan ecosystem is staggered from 1 000 m to 7 245 m altitude. There were 32 species of mammals, 246 species of birds and 3 000 species of flowering plants, including 15 endemic species.

Developed in the national park and in the Helambu region, the project aims to improve the capacities of local communities on the main road road, to manage the ecological impacts of tourism, as well as to promote cultural traditions and bring benefits to the populations. In partnership with the National Park and several ngos, several community committees have been established in the region and have developed tourism planning in each of the 10 main villages of Climbing-Helambu. Established in 1996, this project has allowed the installation of a kerosene depot, the creation of jobs within the local population, and funds are poured into local development programs, reforestation (over 17 500 trees have been replanted) and visitor awareness.
