 The
Langtang valley is aptly called " the valley of glaciers".
Here the mountain–scape is spectacular.
On either side of valley, mountains rise, soaring into
the sky. The valley offers
pine forest, slow moving rivers
and swift
mountain streams, rugged rock and snow–capped peaks, grassy
downs and meadows strewn with daisies and wild primulas.
In the upper part of valley there are snow bridges
spanning angry torrents, high passes enveloped in mist,
tiny lakes with icebergs floating on them and water
of crystalline brightness. There
are also high mountains of solid ice.
