Brief Introduction

The trail passes through dense forests of oak and pine, offering you the chance to see wildlife up close. The stretch of forest around Ghoda Tabhela in the lower Langtang Valley and below GosaiKunda is famous for the Red panda.

Itinerary

Seeking for a real adventure? Our travel itinerary is based on years of trekking expertise, ensuring that you have a fun and safe vacation. However, like with all such risky excursions, there may be instances where we must change the schedule, possibly without much notice. While we make every attempt to stick to the timetable, we humbly ask for your patience and flexibility if unforeseen circumstances like weather or unforeseen natural events come into play. You may be sure that our knowledgeable guides will adjust as needed to make your tour as enjoyable as possible.

Schedule for each day
Days: 1: Arrival, transfer to hotel, introductions, and briefing  
Our airport representative from Nepal New Generation Trek Guide will welcome you after you arrive at Kathmandu International Airport. At the hotel, you can just relax. Overnight at Kathmandu.
Days: 2: Kathmandu, city sightseeing  
We will have sightseeing in Kathmandu city on this day. You will visit some of the major spots enlisted in UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Especially, you will visit Swayambhunath (Monkey temple) lying on the top of the hill. Pashupatinath temple, an eminent Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. it is positioned on the coast of the sacred Bagmati River. Boudhanath, another largest Buddhist stupa on the earth; and Patan Durbar Square which allures visitors with its antique royal palace where the Malla Kings of Lalitpur once resided. Overnight at Kathmandu.
Days: 3: Kathmandu to Syabru Besi (1,460 m. / 4,790 ft.)  
Leave Kathmandu early for the seven-hour journey to the Langtang Valley. The road climbs high over ridges as it leaves the Kathmandu Valley, and provides impressive views of the Annapurna Himalayas in the west, to Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and the peaks of the Langtang region ahead. We drive through the bustling town of Trisuli before climbing towards Dunche and the Langtang National Park. After the town of Dunche it is another hour downhill to Syabru Besi and your lodge for the night.
Days: 4 Trek to Lama Hotel (2,470 m. / 8,103 ft.)  
Today’s trail crosses the Bhote Kosi — meaning ‘Tibet River’ — which flows from nearby Tibet. It then gradually climbs through sub-tropical forests to join the trail from Syabru Besi, then climbing through uninhabited oak and rhododendron forests. Look out for langur monkeys in the trees. The trail through the forest up to Lama Hotel becomes steep, but the reward is a comfortable bed in a cozy lodge in the small settlement.
Days: 5: Trek to Mundu (3,550 m. / 11,646 ft.)  
The trail continues to climb through forest, with occasional glimpses of Langtang Lirung between the trees. At Ghora Tabela (3,000 m. / 9,842 ft) the trail emerges from the forest and the mountains loom on either side of the valley. Once there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepal Army post with no permanent inhabitants. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer. You will probably glimpse your first yak if you haven’t already. The next part of the trail is a somber reminder of the 2015 earthquake. Where Langtang village once was, with numerous lodges, there is now only a huge rock field. Spare a thought for the Nepalis and tourists who lost their lives here, and remember that your journey here will help support the survivors. Mundu is just half an hour’s walk further on. The old houses here are a reminder of what all the villages once looked like in this valley. Most of the lodges and homes in this area are now built in a more modern style.
Days: 6 Trek to Kyangjin Gompa (3,800 m. / 12,467 ft.)  
From Mundu, the trail climbs gradually through yak pastures as the valley opens out further and the views become more extensive. After crossing several small streams and moraines, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyangjin. Here there is a small monastery and a government-operated cheese factory, which is a good place to stock up for lunch and afternoon snacks. As you will arrive by lunchtime there is time to take it easy in the afternoon or explore the area. If you are feeling energetic, head up the Valley towards Langshisha Kharka to see some of the amazing views.
Days: 7 Rest day in Kyangjin or climb Kyangjin Ri (4,850 m. / 15,912 ft.)  
Today you can rest or explore the area. You can visit the monastery and the cheese factory, walk up the moraine to see the spectacular ice faces and tumbling glaciers of Langtang Lirung or ascend Kyangjin Ri directly behind the village, for a breath-taking panorama of the Langtang peaks.
Days: 8 Trek to Lama hotel  
From Kyangjin retrace the route you followed up the valley, following the Langtang Khola to Mundu village and on to Ghora Tabela. The descent will certainly be faster than the ascent. After lunch, continue the steep descent to Lama Hotel.
Days: 9 Trek to Syabru Besi  
Continue retracing your steps to Syabru Besi, enjoying the quiet forested hills. If you are feeling fit, take the spectacular route from Rimche via Sherpa Gaon to Syabru Besi; it will take much longer to reach the ultimate destination, but it’s a stunning detour.
Days: 10: Syabrubesi to Kathamndu 145 km./90 miles/8 hrs. by public Bus/ sharing Jeep  
As soon as finishing breakfast early in the morning, we get on the local bus to Kathmandu. It is a day-long bus ride through the beautiful landscape. There will be a couple of breaks for Lunch and tea. Upon your arrival in the Kathmandu, transfer to your designated Hotel. Evening farewell dinner will be offered.
Days: 11 Departure from Kathmandu  
Time to say farewell to Nepal. Enjoy your last moments in Kathmandu with breakfast in a café, a city stroll, and/or souvenir shopping.
