The Nepal gray langur (Semnopithecus schistaceus) is a gray langur endemic to the Himalayas in Nepal, far southwestern Tibet, northern India , northern Pakistan , Bhutan and possibly Afghanistan. It is found in forests at an elevation of 1,500 to 4,000 metres (4,900 to 13,100 ft).[1] Its easternmost limit in India is Buxa Tiger Reserve in northern West Bengal, at least up to the Rydak river.[3][4]
The Nepal gray langur is both terrestrial and arboreal and eats leaves.[1] At 26.5 kilograms (58 lb), the heaviest langur ever recorded was a male Nepal gray langur.[5]
