Langtang Trek

Welcome to Nepal! Fly to the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu where a representative from your tour will meet you and escort you to your hotel. At the hotel, you’ll meet your guide and be briefed with more details about your tour. Then enjoy a traditional Nepali welcome dinner!

Begin your day with breakfast at your hotel, then take a guided sightseeing tour of the Kathmandu Valley, exploring many incredible landmarks of this vibrant city. First, visit the well-known Buddhist temple Stupa Swayambunath, which is also called the Monkey Temple. You’ll get an inspiring view of the mountains and the surrounding Kathmandu Valley from the temple, which is high on a hill. Stupa Swayambunath is the oldest and most mysterious shrine in Kathmandu, and it attracts tourists and Buddhist visitors from all over the world with its sparkling gold spire and distinctive white dome. After this, drive to Pashupatinath, the most famous Hindu temple on the Indian subcontinent, and the crematorium beside it. Finally, you’ll also tour Patan Durbar Square, where you can see many historically significant temples and palaces from centuries past, each an excellent example of traditional Nepalese architecture.

After an early breakfast, begin the long drive to Syabrubensi. Along the way, you’ll see many scenic villages as you travel an exciting road. Each time you crest a ridge, you’ll find a new incredible view of the Himalayas. Your guide will point out Annapurna, Ganesh, Manaslu, and many other famous peaks in this Langtang region. Spend the night in Syabrubensi (1,450 m/4,757’).

Begin your trek today with a trail that climbs gradually as it follows the Langtang Khola stream. This trek will astonish you with the beautiful landscape and breathtaking scenery at every turn along the way from Syabrubensi to Lama Hotel. Spend the night in Lama Hotel (2,480 m/8,136’).

Start your day with a good breakfast, then follow a steeply climbing trail that continues to follow the Langtang Khola stream through a lush, green forest. The valley gradually widens and you’ll see temporary settlements that cattle herders use when they bring their cattle here to graze in the summer. Eventually, the trail begins to descend again toward a monastery, then you’ll reach the Langtang National Park headquarters. Spend in the night in Langtang (3,541 m/11,617’).

Continue your gradual ascent today as you pass through yak pastures and small villages such as Mumdu and Sidum. The lovely trail will cross glacial moraines and several small streams before leading you to the Kyanjing settlement. You will have time here to explore the village and surrounding area, which is well-known for making cheese and curd. Spend the night in Kyanjing Gompa (3,900 m/12,795’).

Take a day trip today to Kyanjing Ri. Get an early start and enjoy the fantastic overlooks of the Langtang region’s famous peaks, which are available all along the trail today. Stop at the summit of Kyanjing Ri (4,773 m/15,659’) to enjoy the panoramic views, then follow the same trail to return to Kyanjing Gompa. You’ll have the opportunity to visit a government-run cheese factory and a small monastery along your trek. Spend a second night in Kyanjing Gompa.

Retrace your steps today as you follow the Langtang Khola stream back to Langtang village, then continue along the trail to reach Ghoda Tabela. Most of the day will be spent trekking downhill as you descend from Kyanjing to Ghoda Tabela, but the mountain views continue to be spectacular. Spend the night in Ghoda Tabela (2,972 m/9,751’).

Leave Ghoda Tabela after breakfast and trek for 5 hours or more as you descend to Syabrubensi. Notice the lush green vegetation that surrounds you as you trek downhill for most of the day. It is another day full of inspiring views as you return to the beautiful village of Syabrubensi.

Return to Kathmandu today with a long but scenic drive through beautiful landscapes. You will see many traditional villages and gain a broader perspective of Nepal as you leave the mountains and drive through the countryside to the capital city.

Today is a relaxing day in Kathmandu with no specific itinerary planned. This extra day is included in the schedule in case of weather delays. If everything has gone smoothly, today is simply a free day to explore Kathmandu at your leisure. Your guide can recommend points of interest or shopping areas that you haven’t seen yet, or you can choose to simply rest and relax before your journey home.

Sadly, your Langtang Trekking Tour has come to an end. Depending on your flight time, you may have some time available to explore before it is time to return to the airport. Options include souvenir shopping or exploring more cultural sites around the city. When it’s time to leave, an airport representative will escort you to the airport and help with any final details. Have a wonderful journey!
