| Langtang Valley |
This region includes range of
cultures with the main three ethnic peoples living in are the Tamangs, Yolmus
and Bhotias who have originated from Tibet in the past 500 years till the mid
20th century. In a southern section of the park lies a small area of
sub-tropical chestnut forest, along with unique Sal forest. The hill forest
(2000-2,600m) across the southern slopes of the park consists of Chir Pine,
Rhododendron, Nepalese Alder and Oak. Moving north and higher, the Mountain
zone (2,600-3000m) are mainly Mountain Oak, fading to Silver Fir, Hemlock and
Larch in the lower sub-alpine zone (3000-3,6000m); throughout these zones,
several species of Rhododendron trees form a twisted and colourful under story,
continuing higher to tree line Birch and Fir forest are the last to survive. It
is here at 3,600-4000m that Juniper and Rhododendrons shrubs slowly dissolve
into the expansive alpine grassland meadows. Here the elusive snow leopard is
still thought to comb the alpine heights for prey. The park is also well known
for its populations of red panda, Himalayan black bear, wild dog, Himalayan
thar, ghoral (mountain antelope) and more than 250 species of birds.
