The Langtang & Helambu trekking region on a map at 1:100, 000 from the Kolkata/ Calcutta based Milestone Books, highlighting main trekking routes & showing peaks, passes & selected locations with altitude both in metres & feet. Coverage extends from Kathmandu & Nagarkot to Kyirong in Tibet & across the peaks from the Ganesh Himal range in the west to Mt. Shisha Pangma in Tibet & the Jugal Himal range in Nepal. The map has contour lines at 400m intervals superimposed on a base derived from satellite imagery, although (as the publisher’s note mentions) the colouring & the shading may not necessarily coincide with the contour lines. Heights for peaks, passes & selected settlements are given both in metres & in feet. The marking for trekking routes distinguishes between main trails & other treks. Symbols indicate locations with tourist accommodation. The map has no geographical coordinates.PLEASE NOTE: the same map is also available as part of the Lantang & Helambu Trekking Guide. ...

Langtang Lirung, sheet no. 2885-11, in the topographic survey of Nepal at 1:50, 000 published by the Nepali Government in the late 1990s & early 2000s & produced from remote sensing data by Finnish cartographers as part of that country’s international aid program. The maps cover 15’ x 15’ quadrangles.IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE BEFORE ORDERING: AVAILABILITY: although, theoretically at least, still in print, these maps are very difficult to get locally in Nepal and/or from various suppliers elsewhere specializing in obtaining such maps. DELIVERIES MAY TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS.PROBLEMS WITH PLACE NAMES: reports from previous users indicate that transliteration of place names differs from that used widely not only on other maps & in guide books but also on the ground itself, in road signs & in the tourist & trekking industry in general. Whilst most names are similar enough to be easily recognizable, e.g. Namche Bajar for Namche Bazar or Lantan for Langtang, we have been told of confusion & difficulties arising from different spellings appearing on these maps.TREKKING ROUTES & TOURIST INFORMATION: whilst the maps show foot trails & mark locations of temples, etc, they carry no specific trekking information. Major trekking routes & places of interest are not highlighted. There is no marking for base camps & other tourist facilities. Map specifications: Contours are at 40m intervals, with graphics and/or coloring to show various features of the terrain (glaciers with moraines & crevasses, quarries, gravel or clay pits, etc.) & vegetation (forests, bush, grass, orchards & plantations, etc). Additional comments such as “open mixed forest mainly bajh & pine” annotate many area. The maps have numerous spot heights, but relatively few peaks are named. Areas outside the country’s borders are left blank. Settlements in remote areas are indicated by markings for individual buildings & the placing of names does not always make it clear which group of buildings they refer to. Road network distinguishes between major & minor foot trails. Symbols mark features such as temples, schools & hospitals, police stations, etc. Also shown are the country’s administrative divisions. The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus latitude & longitude lines at intervals of 5’. Map legend & all the text is in English. Coverage: the whole country is now covered, with the north at 1:50, 000, plus central & southern Nepal at 1:25, 000. The two series are complementary, do not overlap & use the same grid & numbering system (apart from the Lumbini Zone, where a different grid & numbering are used). For areas not shown on our grid & titles not listed here, please contact us by e-mail, but please do bear in mind the problems with availability & the likely very long delivery time. ...

In his Cicerone guide to Langtang, Gosainkund & Helambu, accomplished trekker Kev Reynolds guides readers through the breath-taking scenery of Nepal & her beautiful mountains.
