Culturally, religiously and naturally rich Rasuwa district

Located in the central part of Nepal, Rasuwa district is one of the richest districts in terms of natural, religious as well as cultural heritage. Some of the most popular tourist destinations like Langtang and Gosaikund are also found in the district. The district gives you the chance to experience untouched Tamang/Tibetan culture amidst the breathtaking views of the Himalayas. The district being closer to Kathmandu offers one of the nearest trekking destinations from the capital city to the untouched and beautiful Langtang National Park which was previously declared as a restricted area.

The population residing here consists mainly of Tamang and Tibetan origin and the solitude and serenity of the Himalayas are reflected by the craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses and the artistic wooden carvings.
