About this spot
The Langtang valley is also known as the Valley of Glacier located in the mountains region of the north-central part of Nepal. The valley is situated around 19 miles directly north of Kathmandu and near the border with Tibet.
The valley itself runs from east to west, sandwiched between the Himalayas to the north and the slightly lower Langtang Lirung range to the south. The local people in the Langtang Valley are mostly of Tibetan origin.
According to legend, the valley was first discovered by a lama (a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism) who was pursuing a runaway yak. "Lang" means "Cow" in Tibetan, while "tang" means "follow".
