The Langtang National park is the largest park in the Himalayan region, containing 45 villages and a variety of wildlife. The visitors will be in the jungle rich in flora and fauna making it a paradise for nature lovers. From Lauri Binayak onwards you can see the Himalayan views up to Annapurna South East faces. Lauri Binayak is also one of the best destinations for those visitors who want to view the sunrise and sunset view. The high pass of Gosainkunda must be attempted in a single day due to the problems of overnight exposure at over 4700 meter height.
