Langtang Valley Trek 

Welcome to Kathmandu – the capital city of Nepal. Today is your first day with J One Trekking. Therefore, we send one of our company representatives to receive you at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), who will further escort you to the hotel. If possible, we also schedule a meeting at our office for the briefing regarding the trek followed by an introduction session with other team members (especially Sherpas and guides).  After this, our guide will check your gear and help you to pack. If your flight arrives late, the meeting, and gear checking can be scheduled for the following day.

The capital, Kathmandu Valley itself, is a big storehouse of exclusive natural, cultural, and historical sites. Therefore, today, we take you on a few-hour tour of the major attractions of Kathmandu Valley. We do cover 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swyambhunath Stupa, Boudhnath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple. After spending a few hours observing these wonderful sites, we again meet for a few hours to finalize your clothing and trekking gear (down jacket, sleeping bags, etc.) required during the trek. The night will be spent at a hotel in Kathmandu.

Today our destination is Syabrubesi. It’s a nine-hour drive from Kathmandu. Therefore, we start early right after breakfast. Our guide will come to pick you up at your hotel as per the scheduled departure time and escort you to the bus station to catch a bus to Syabrubesi. The journey to Syabrubeshi begins towards the north of Kathmandu Valley following the Pasang Lamu highway along the north-western hills of Kathmandu passing different settlements. A well-paved highway continues to Dhunche, the district headquarters of Rasuwa and finally, road descends to Syabrubensi. The night will be spent at a lodge in Syabrubensi.

Today is the first day of the trek and our destination is Lama Hotel. The trail first drops down to cross the bridge across the Bhote Koshi River. A right turn from here will take us to, a small settlement of Syabru Bensi, then following a stone paved trail towards another bridge across the Langtang River. We cross this bridge to follow the south bank of the Langtang River, through the forest up to another bridge. We cross the bridge and walk towards the road junction. From here a moderate descent will finally take us to Changdam, also famous as the Lama Hotel which is inside the forest. The night will be spent at a lodge in Lama Hotel.

Today is the second day of the trek and our destination is Langtang. The walk continues through the forest following the trail along the Langtang Khola crossing Gumnachowk, Chhunama, and finally up to Ghodatabela. From here we will ascend to Chamki crossing Thyngsyap village. Then, the trail finally leads towards Langtang village which is one of the largest settlements of the area. Langtang village was entirely washed away by the avalanche and now the village is settled a bit higher than originally settled which is geographically safe. The night will be spent at a lodge in Langtang.

Today is the third day of the trek and our destination is Keynjing Gompa. Leaving the Tibetan village, Langtang, behind, the day’s hike begins towards Keynjing Gompa. At the beginning, a steady climb will take us to Mudu and Sindum. From here, we walk up to the Keynjing Gompa. The view of Langtang gets much better at this point. You can observe Langtang Himal to the northwest and Yansa Tsenji and Kinshung to the north. The day will be spent exploring the Keynjing Ri and Gompa areas. Visiting Yak Cheese factory. The night will be spent at a lodge in Keynhing Gompa.

Today is the fourth day of the trek and we spend our day exploring the area. If your health and fitness level permits, we will walk up to Tsergo Ri which is a four-hour walk towards the east of Kyanjin Gompa or we hike up to the glacier.

Today is the fifth day of the trek and our destination is Lama Hotel. Following the same trail used earlier to climb, we descend to Lama Hotel crossing Tamang villages like Langtang Village, Thyangyap Village, and Ghodatabela which share Tibetan culture. The walk continues to the Lama Hotel. The trail goes downhill through the forest following the river. The night will be spent at a lodge in Lama Hotel.

Today is the last day of the trek and we walk all the way down to Syabrubensi. We retrace the same route followed earlier while climbing. We walk up to Rimche, cross a suspension bridge over the Langtang River, and then walk through the forest towards Syabrubeshi passing some hotels and inns en route. Trek to the Langtang Valley finally comes to an end at Syabrubesi. The night will be spent at a lodge in Syabrubensi.

Today is your last day in the Langtang region as we come back to Kathmandu. It’s a long ride; therefore, we take an early morning bus so that we can reach Kathmandu before evening. Following a paved way, the bus will move towards Pasang Lamhu Highway. From Trishuli, the bus joins the Pasang Lamhu Highway. On reaching Kathmandu you will be transferred to your hotel. In the evening we again meet up for a farewell dinner where we also discuss your trek and collect feedback. Overnight in Kathmandu Hotel.

This day is the last day of your trip to Nepal with Trek Ways Nepal. If your flight is scheduled for early morning, then one of our company representatives will escort you to the airport as per your flight departure time. But, if the flight is scheduled for later in the evening, you can go shopping and collect a few mementos or simply hang around shopping areas in Kathmandu. However, if you are planning to spend some extra days in Nepal, Trek Ways Nepal can also make arrangements for some other top adventurous activities that you can attend while you are in Nepal.
