To ensure your arrival is stress-free, your private tour guide will meet at the Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu and transfer to your downtown hotel in a private comfortable vehicle. Your luggage and hotel check-in will be taken care of.

The rest of the day is your own to relax. If you want to explore nearby areas, feel free to get some practical suggestions from your tour guide.

For dinner, you will be served excellent authentic Nepalese cuisine, which will introduce you to the Nepalese food culture.

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up from the hotel lobby at appointed time to start the city sightseeing; we start our tour by exploring the famous 'Monkey Temple' (Swayambhunath) and Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is one of the largest stupas in the world. It is surrounded by shops and markets all over. It is a very peaceful and spiritual place. It has a big, beautiful white dome. People can see Buddha eyes from all the angles. Bouddhnath is an amazing place to visit. There you will see many people on pilgrimage in their unique ways.After Lunch, there will be a pre-trip discussion where we can meet our trek leader and other team members. Mountain Sherpa Trekking & expeditions briefs us regarding our trek as well as provides us an opportunity to ask any questions we may have regarding our upcoming adventure. Overnight in Kathmandu.

We highly recommend opting for a 4-wheel drive Jeep instead of the local/tourist bus when embarking on the Langtang Trek. Our company provides experienced drivers and well-maintained 4W Jeeps that offer a comfortable, safe, and less daunting journey.

The journey begins with an early breakfast and a picturesque drive from Kathmandu towards Syabru Besi, situated in the northern region. The road, although at times roughshod, is a beautiful sight to behold, and the landscape changes with the season. On our way, we pass through Trisuli Bazaar, where the Indian Technical Mission completed the dam and hydroelectric project.

As we drive on, the scenery of the Trishuli River, the Ganesh Himal, and the rolling green hills is a feast for the eyes. We pass through Dhunche, and the road takes us towards the deep, unexplored regions, which fills us with a sense of adventure.

Finally, we arrive at Syabrubesi, where we make our first camp and make final preparations for our trek. The town's teahouse lodge is where we will spend the night and recharge our energies for the journey ahead.

Choosing a 4-wheel drive Jeep instead of the local/tourist bus not only provides a more comfortable and safer journey, but it also allows us to enjoy the stunning beauty of the surrounding landscape. So, buckle up, and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!

After healthy breakfast at our lodge, our trek starts from today. Hope you had a good night’s sleep, because today is going to start with a long climb. For around 2 hours you’ll be ascending up a slew of switchbacks that mark the beginning of our foray into the trail. It’s all worth it when you reach a vantage point with views of Ganesh Himal, the Gosainkunda range and Langtang Lirung. Along the trail you’ll see numerous Buddhist Chortens and mani walls, which all add another dimension to this picturesque landscape. After descending for around 45 minutes we’ll reach the little Tamang village of Goljung, where we’ll stop for lunch. There’s still 2.5 hours until we reach today’s destination, another Tamang village called Gatlang (altitude of 2238m). Besides its obvious cultural richness and stunninglocation, Gatlang also boasts a 100-year-old Tamang monastery and the secret lake, Parvati Kunda. Legend has it that this lake was discovered in ancient times while the King of Gatlang was on his way to find a missing hunting dog. It is now revered by women for its apparent powers of fertility. You’ll reach each of these landmarks after a 45-minute uphill walk.Overnight at Gatlang.

Your expert Sherpa guide team will wake you up with hot drinks. After breakfast, we’ll start the day with a descent to Thangbuche and soak-in magnificent views of the Ganesh Himal and Langtang Ranges along the way. Today is commonly known as “the toughest day of the trek”. But the rewards far outweigh the grueling bits. Descend gradually along the ridge to the Bamdang Khola, which turns north along the Chilime Khola until you reach the town of Chilime (around 2 hours walking). After crossing a suspension bridge (always fun) you’ll begin an arduous climb of around 450-metres to the village of Gongang. It’ll take around 1.5 hours of steep uphill climbing but there’s a lunch break on arrival. The next section is much less physically strenuous, as you continue the ascent for around 2 hours until you reach Tatopani (2607m).

Today we trek from Tatopani to Thuman via Brimdang and Nagthali. As you pass through an incredible rhododendron forest clinging to the side of the mountain, the vines and moss-covered trees give your environment a real “prehistoric” feel.Further on, we reach the small Tamang village of Brimdang, before continuing up the side of the highest and steepest part of the trail. From here, it’s a few hours walk uphill until Nagthali hill (3210m) it takes approximately 45 minutes from Brimdang.

Here, we enjoy the mesmerizing views of Langtang Lirung, Kerung, Ganesh Himal as well as Shishapangma on the Tibetan side. Next, it’stime to descend approximately 900-metres through deep woodlands to Thuman, which faces the Shisapangma and Langtang Lirung peak. A distinct Tibetan influence can be felt in the village, with its Shamanistic beliefs, ancient monasteries and houses covered in woodcarvings.

Today, we walk through rhododendron forests and meadows to reach the Tamang village of Briddim, located in the heart of the Langtang Himal. It will take just over 2 hours of uphill walking. Briddim marks the end of the Tamang Heritage Trail, and is often a highlight for many of our travellers. Here you will get to experience a homestay with a local family, sleeping overnight in their comfortable wooden home. You’ll get a richer understanding of the culture here, and share stories with your host.

The trek from Briddim to Sherpa Gaon typically takes around 6 hours, covering a distance of approximately 11 kilometers or 6.8 miles. The trek involves ascending and descending through hilly terrain, passing through lush forests, suspension bridges, and traditional Sherpa villages. Along the way, trekkers will enjoy scenic views of the Langtang Himalayan range and might encounter local wildlife, such as the musk deer and the Himalayan black bear. It's important to stay hydrated and take breaks as needed during the trek to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

The Namaste Guest House and Old Tibet Lodge are two popular accommodations in Sherpa Gaon. Both provide comfortable lodging and delicious meals for trekkers.

The trek from Sherpa Gaau to Thangshyap is a beautiful and relatively easy trek that takes around 5-6 hours to complete. The trek starts from the small village of Sherpa Gaau, which is located at an altitude of 2,600 meters (8,530 feet).

From Sherpa Gaau, the trail goes through lush forests of rhododendron, pine, and oak trees. You'll pass by several small streams and waterfalls along the way. The trail is well-maintained, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to stop and rest along the way.

As you continue to climb, you'll get stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including the Himalayas. You'll also pass through several small villages, where you can interact with the locals and learn about their way of life.

Thangshyap is a small, traditional village that offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. You can spend the night here in a tea house or a homestay and enjoy a warm meal while taking in the beautiful scenery.

After taking in the sights and sounds of Langtang Village, your trek leads you onward towards Kyanjin Gompa, a magnificent monastery nestled amidst stunning natural surroundings. Along the way, you will pass through the quaint villages of Mundu and Singdum, each with its unique charm and character.

As night falls, you will find yourself at Kyanjin Gompa, where you will spend a peaceful and relaxing evening, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Himalayas. This is truly an unforgettable experience, a journey through stunning landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and poignant history.

Both Tserko Ri and Kyanjin Ri are popular hiking destinations from Kyanjin, and both offer stunning views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers. The choice between the two ultimately depends on your personal preferences and fitness level.

Tserko Ri is the higher peak of the two, standing at an elevation of 4,984 meters (16,352 feet). The hike to Tserko Ri is more challenging and requires a good level of fitness, as the trail is steep and rocky in places. However, the panoramic views from the summit are truly breathtaking, with 360-degree views of the Langtang mountain range and the surrounding valleys.

Kyanjin Ri, on the other hand, is slightly lower at 4,773 meters (15,659 feet), and the hike is generally considered to be less strenuous than Tserko Ri. The trail is well-defined and less steep, making it a good choice for those who are less experienced or who prefer a more relaxed hike. From the summit of Kyanjin Ri, you can also enjoy stunning views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers, including Langtang Lirung, Langshisa Ri, and Dorje Lakpa.

Both peaks offer unique and rewarding hiking experiences, and the choice between the two ultimately comes down to your personal preferences and fitness level.

The trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel is approximately 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) long and takes around 6-7 hours to complete. The starting altitude at Kyanjin Gompa is 3,870 meters (12,697 feet), and the trek ends at Lama Hotel, which is at an altitude of 2,470 meters (8,103 feet).

The trek begins by retracing your steps back down the valley. You will descend through forests, cross suspension bridges over the Langtang Khola river, and pass through the villages of Langtang and Mundu. From there, you will continue descending until you reach Lama Hotel, where you will spend the night.

The trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel is mostly downhill and easier compared to the trek to Kyanjin Gompa. However, it is important to note that the descent can be hard on your knees, so it's important to take it slow and be cautious while trekking. 

After enjoying a hearty breakfast this morning, we will embark on our journey back to Syabrubesi. This route will not only offer breathtaking views of the Langtang Valley but will also allow us to explore a new trail, providing a different perspective of the journey we have taken. Our expert Sherpa guide will be there to assist us in choosing the best route, based on seasonal weather patterns and our own trekking stamina. Syabrubesi is a small town with a few guesthouses, restaurants, and shops, and it is also the starting point for the Langtang Valley trek.

In the evening, we will gather for a celebratory dinner to acknowledge our remarkable achievements. With all those miles behind us, we are sure to sleep well tonight, reflecting on the beauty and wonder of the Langtang region and the memories we have created that will last a lifetime.
