Langtang National Park PDF Print E-mail

Situated in the Central Himalaya, Langtang National Park is the nearest park to Kathmandu. It was established in 1976 to conserve the unique flora and fauna of the region. The 1710 sq. km. of the park extends over parts of Nuwakot, Rasuwa, and Sindhupalchok districts in the southern mountainous terrain of the Nepal-China (Tibet) border. In 1998 an area of 420 sq km. in and around the park was declared as a buffer zone. Buffer zone management is a joint venture between the park office and the local communities. Local communities have a decision-making role in the management of such areas. Additionally, the local communities or the BZ receive 30 to 50 % of the park revenue for the better management of natural resources to ensure a sustainable supply of resources and community development.Β Learn more...
