The northern parts of the area largely fall within the boundaries of Langtang National Parks.The main ethnic groups here are Sherpa and tamang whose religious practices, languages and dress are much similar to those of Tibet.

The forests in this region have temperate and sub- alpine vegetation. Wildlife includes migratory birds, deer, monkeys, Thar, and Pika. The scenery here is spectacular and the trekking is more adventurous.The main highlights of the Langtang Excursion Trek are Langtang National Park, Kyanjin Gompa, Yak Cheese factory, typical Tamang villages and diversity of flora and fauna.
