Langtang Valley Trek

Good morning!
After breakfast, we will begin our sightseeing (guided tour) to several of the most historical, cultural, and spiritual World Heritage Sites of Kathmandu. Some of those landmarks are historical Patan Durbar Square, the holy Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, and the world-famous Swyambhunath i.e. Monkey Temple, and Bouddhanath, one of the world’s largest stupas.

At noon, there will be a pre-trip discussion where we can meet our trek leader and other team members. Altitude Adventure briefs us regarding our trek as well as provides us an opportunity to ask any questions we may have regarding our upcoming adventure.

We begin our journey early. After breakfast, we will wait in the lobby for our guide to come to pick us up.  After the arrival of our guide, we board the jeep and head out to your destination. The journey begins by driving along the north-western side of Kathmandu and climbing high over the ridges as you leave the city behind.
On the way, we will see small ethnic settlements, impressive views of Mt. Annapurna I, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and several others, pristine waterfalls, gushing rivers, and green hillocks, etc. Upon reaching Trishuli Bazaar, we have our lunch before continuing further on the road.

Continuing the drive after lunch, we pass the villages of Betrawati, and Dhunche we descend to Syabrubensi ultimately. This road once used to be a significant trade route between Nepal and China that went through Tibet.

As we are in the gateway of the Langtang region, we begin our trekking adventure here. The air around the town is fresh and cool, with fluttering prayer flags everywhere. We get a nice and calm feeling during our stay here.

The first day of our trek begins today. We wake with the beautiful sunrise over mountain peaks and get our breakfast. Getting ready, we begin our trek. Walking gradually, we enter Langtang National Park. Passing the rivers, small streams, lush vegetation filled with rhododendron and oak trees, and watching monkeys and other wild animals, we reach Lama hotel and make our way to a teahouse for an overnight stay.

We continue our trek with an early morning breakfast initially walking alongside a river through the lustrous landscapes and then climbing through the dense forests. On the way, we might see the snowy peaks if the weather is crystal.
Upon reaching Ghoda Tabela, we register our papers, get our lunch there and continue our trek. Passing a couple of villages, hills, mane walls, prayer flags, and wheels, we reach Langtang village, our day destination. Making our way to the teahouse, we check in and rest a while before going to explore the village around.

Good morning from Langtang valley.

With the gleaming rays of sun over majestic peaks, we get up and get prepared for today’s trek. Packing our bags, we hand over our porters and get breakfast before beginning the trek.

Walking past the peaceful trekking trail, and rocky ridges, viewing the mountain sceneries and glaciers, and witnessing alpine vegetation and fauna, we immerse in nature while reaching our destination- Kyangjin Gompa.

Kyangjin Gompa is the last place with teahouses, a famous monastery with beautiful views of the mountains. This place is also famous for its cheese factory that offers yak curd, so if you like them, you can visit the spot to try some. As you explore the village, it offers a panoramic view of Dorje Lhakpa, Langshisha Ri, Ganja La, Tsergo Ri, and several others.

Spending one more day at Kyangjin Gompa, we hike Kyangin Ri or Cherku Ri, or Langtang Glacier and return to Kyangin gompa for an overnight stay as we stay in Gorekshep and hike for Kala Patthar or Everest Base Camp during EBC trek. However, most people choose either Kyangin Ri or Cherku Ri for hiking.

Both from the top offers amazing mountain sceneries. Cherko Ri hike takes a longer time [6-7 hours], hence we will take packed lunch. We enjoy the spectacular sceneries of the Langtang Himalayan range [Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak, Langtang II], snowy surroundings with tumbling glaciers, and return down to Kyangin gompa for an overnight stay.

Capturing the last views of the peaks, we begin the return hike from today. After breakfast, we begin our hike towards Lama Hotel. We will follow the same trail that we already used earlier. We will stop at Ghoda Tabela for lunch. Here, at the army check post, we register our exit.  After a leisurely lunch, we continue down through the dense river valley forests to Lama Hotel, where we will be staying for the night.

The last day of our trek begins after breakfast at our teahouse. We head to Syabrubensi today and conclude our trek. We will be walking along the Langtang River, heading downwards to the beautiful river valley.

As you descend through bamboo and birch forests, you will see amazing landscapes and cross the Langtang and Bhote Koshi rivers to reach Syabrubesi. We will check in one of the teahouses there and spend overnight there.

On the tenth day, we drive back to Kathmandu leaving the entire Langtang region behind. The journey passes through terraces, local settlements, rivers, high hills, and more.
You will be directly transferred to your hotel upon reaching Kathmandu. You must feel fatigued after the long day so that you can rest in your room. But if you still have energy left, then stroll around markets and enjoy the nightlife of Kathmandu. Get prepared for your international flight.

This is the last day of your trip. As per your flight schedule, one of the representatives of Altitude Adventure Treks and Expeditions will transfer you to the airport at least three hours before your scheduled flight. Have a safe flight.
