Langtang Lirung! Nepalese Himalayas. It’s interesting to learn about this place, though our minds often make us think the Himalayas are limited to Uttarakhand, Himachal, Kashmir, or Ladakh. But as we go beyond borders, we have extended Himalayas too.
People have always loved the sight of mountains. Especially in the early days, it was part of some Bollywood retro songs or when you saw it in color form in newspapers. Or if someone went all the way to the Himalayas, we would be excited to ask them to show photos from the camera they had taken. We would be so thrilled to see them and plan to visit it someday.
People love the Himalayas and mountains. Many dream of living such a life or just going there to chill. Many live close to the mountains and venture out quite often, but for some it’s an effort to take holidays and go there.

Nepalese Himalayas
Well, yes, there are the Himalayas on that side too. I am sure you’ve heard, but I always felt that Mt Everest is in the Indian hills. Well, it belongs to the Nepalese Himalayas and is the highest point on Earth. It also has many more, like the Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna.
They are called the Himal as they are divided into three belts. The Langtang Lirung Peak is the highest in the Himalayas. It’s massive in height. It is also a subrange in the Nepalese Himalayas.
It also has a eight thousander and called the Shisha Pangma. It also has Jugal Himal and is home to Shisha Pangma.This peak is surrounded by the Sun Kosi Valley, which has the Trishuli River, and the Gandaki Valley.
It has Langtang National Park, which is very scenic and has glaciers. This place is also the main point that caused the flash floods in Nepal recently. It has 70 glaciers and a sacred alpine lake of Gosaikunda. There are local Tamang and Sherpa villages with some amazing Tibetan Buddhist traditions, monasteries, and great hospitality. You definitely need to cross the border and be here, but at the moment, let the place recover and get back to its vibes.
