Langtang

In the local language, Langtang means a place where the Ox was found, longtime ago the people of Langtang imported an Ox from the Tibet to use it for religious purpose, but suddenly escaped & was missing for a long time. In search of Ox for few days, they came to know that the Ox was found at the place in the Himalayas & then named it as Langtang.

Langtang National Park was established in 1976 as Nepal’s first Himalayan National Park & the country’s fourth protected area. It cover an area of 660 square meter in Nuwakot, Rasuwa & Sindupalchowk districts of Central Himalayan Region. In this region there is holy lake known as Gosaikunda which is famous for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims, there is saying from legends that God Shiva Lake devise Gosaikunda when he pierced a glacier with his trident to obtain water to quench his thirst after swallowing a poison that various Hindu scriptures refer to Samudra Manthan, which is directly related to the origin of Gosaikunda .

In culture aspects, the local inhabitant of the Langtang refer to each other as ‘Langtapa‘. General people follow Tibet Buddhism & speak a Tibetan language that is closely related to the Tibetan spoken in Kyirong Southern Tibet. Langtang valley is believed to be Beyul Dagam Namgo, one of the many hidden valleys blessed by Guru Padmasmbhava, however in the state census the Langtapa are categorized as Tamang.
