Langtang Glacier, Himalayan glacier in Langtang Valley, Nepal
The Langtang Glacier extends for 18 kilometers through the Himalayan mountains, covering 46.5 square kilometers of ice-filled terrain at high altitude.
Scientific studies of the Langtang Glacier have documented substantial changes in its mass and movement patterns since the Little Ice Age period.
The Tamang and Sherpa communities near the Langtang Glacier maintain traditional practices influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and their connection to the mountains.
Reaching the glacier requires multiple days of trekking from the nearest road, with specialized permits and proper mountaineering equipment necessary for access.
The glacier functions as a primary water source for the Langtang River system, supporting local agriculture and sustaining the valley's ecological balance.
