Schedule for each day
Days: 1 Arrive in Kathmandu (1,400 m)  
As you fly into Kathmandu, you'll have beautiful views over the valley, the Himalaya, and of the terraced fields below. After going through customs, a representative will be waiting to guide you through the initial culture shock of Kathmandu’s narrow, winding streets and get you settled into your hotel. Once you've settled in, head out and visit one of Kathmandu's cultural highlights. In the evening, the tourist hub of Thamel is a good place to grab your first meal, with a variety of restaurants to choose from offering both Western and local Nepali dishes.
Days: 2 Explore Kathmandu  
Kathmandu has a special atmosphere during the early morning hours when the city is slowly coming to life yet not too chaotic. It's a great time to walk and explore the streets or have a chai overlooking one of the local courtyards or durbar squares. There are a number of ways you can spend the day given the many incredible sights around the Kathmandu Valley.
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: Lama Hotel to Langtang Village Langtang Village – 3,430 m / 11,253 ft – 7 hrs  
You will pass through the forest and reach Ghoretable after a 3-hour hike. Ghoretable is a horse stable. The trek continues, and you will reach Langtang Village. The 2015 earthquake destroyed Langtang village, but it has since been rebuilt. You can stay in Langtang Village or Mundu, which is the next stop from Langtang Village. You will see glorious views of Langtang and Gonchompe. The Langtang village thrives with a community health post, government schools, small markets, and monasteries.
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: 8Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel Lama Hotel – 2,470 m / 8,100 ft 6-7 hrs  
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 Lama Hotel to Syabrubesi Syabrubesi – 1,550 m / 5,085 ft 6-7 hrs  
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 Kathmandu ( Drive ) Kathmandu – 1,425 m / 4,675 ft 7 – 9 hrs  
Today, we leave the peaceful hills of Syabrubesi behind and drive back to Kathmandu, completing the full circle of your Langtang adventure. The scenic drive winds through the hills of Rasuwa and Nuwakot, passing terraced fields, rivers, and small towns along the Trishuli River. Although the road is rugged and winding at times, it offers one last opportunity to enjoy Nepal’s diverse landscapes, from misty hills to bustling bazaars. As you approach the Kathmandu Valley, the sights and sounds of city life slowly return.
Days: 11 Depart 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. A representative will meet you at your hotel and drive you to the airport for your return flight home. It's good to be at the airport at least three hours prior to departure.
