From Syabrubesi you walk the Langtang Khola through Bamboo and Lama Hotel to Langtang village and Kyanjin Gompa. Cheese factory paths and a climb toward Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri open Langtang Lirung and the glacier. Kyanjin Gompa, the cheese factory path, and Tserko Ri are the high-valley days under Langtang Lirung.
Tamang lodges, yak pastures, and a straightforward valley out-and-back keep logistics simple. You return down-valley to the road and Kathmandu. Yak pastures above the rebuilt village and a same-valley walk back to Syabrubesi keep the logistics simple.
From Syabrubesi we walk the Langtang Khola through Bamboo and Lama Hotel to Langtang village and Kyanjin Gompa. Our Kathmandu office files Langtang National Park and TIMS before the bus day, then briefs you on landslide sections that change after monsoon. You'll have time for the cheese factory path and a climb toward Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri under Langtang Lirung.
Guides on this valley know which forest stretches stay slick and which lodges reopened after the rebuild. We prefer a local leader trained on altitude illness because height comes on quickly above Kyanjin. One porter travels with every two guests, and we share a daily plan so a slower Ri morning can move without rushing the walk-out to the road.
The capital of the Kingdom of Skies is delighted in the grace of your presence. Our Himalayan Adventure representative will be ready to greet you at the entrance of TIA with welcoming scarves (Khada). Then, you will be transferred to your overnight lodging in Kathmandu.
Make sure to rest and if you happen to arrive early, take this chance to wander through the picturesque narrow streets of the capital. In the evening, after all the participating guests of the Langtang Valley trek arrive, there will be a meet and greet program with our tour guide who will then give you an introductory briefing about the Langtang Valley trekking itinerary.
Today you have an exciting road journey that will take you towards the northern part of Nepal, to the amazing settlement of Syabrubesi positioned in the Rasuwa district of Nepal near the Tibetan border. Our journey begins as we board the bus and make our way out of Kathmandu through Kalanki and Thankot. From here, the Trishuli Highway will take us to the colorful market of Trishuli, where we will take a moment to refresh ourselves.
Then, we will continue our journey along the long Pasang Lhamu Highway, which gently ascends alongside the jagged cliffs. As we climb higher, the snowy peaks of Ganesh, Manaslu, and Annapurna will reveal themselves, standing majestically above the landscape.
It is now time for us to get on with our trekking adventure. After leaving Syabrubesi, we will hike for a while and meet the so well-known suspension bridges of Nepal.
One after another, we will cross two of these remarkable bridges that arch over the Bhote Koshi River. Then, the gentle flow of the Langtang River will lead us to the charming Dhomen Hamlet (1620 m).
As we continue, the trail will gradually rise through a lush jungle filled with conifers and rhododendrons until we reach Bamboo (1970 m). A brief rest here with the majestic Langtang Himal in view will prepare us for the challenging climbing of the steep steps of large stones that will demand two hours of effort.
The Langtang Khola will remain our loyal guide who starts to once more lead us through the deep, shadowy forests of Langtang National Park. After we reach Ghumanchok, we will encounter yet another army checkpoint, where our permits and documents will be carefully checked. From this point, the journey continues upward as we ascend toward Chunama.
But the striking sight of Langtang Lirung will keep capturing our gaze so our journey will be relatively comfortable and short. Battling the steep inclines, we will finally reach 2800 m high Ghoratabela translated as Horse Stable. The trail now winds down towards Thangshyap, Ghumba, and Chyamki.
Eventually, we will step into the land of the revitalized valley of Langtang which still showcases the remnants of the 2015 earthquake along with the remarkable transformation since then.
Our ascension will continue today also as we depart from the Langtang Village towards the Kyanjin Gumba. A little forward, we will meet the settlement of Mundu (3543 m); reaching here feels as though the entire Langtang village has been relocated here, giving rise to the new settlement of Langtang Village.
Notice the arid landscape resembling that of Tibetan highlands. From this point, the path is decorated with chortens and fluttering prayer flags as we traverse the highland grasslands of Singdun and Yemphu.
Soon, we will arrive at the sacred grounds of Kyanjin Gumba, the final village in the Langtang Valley. This remarkable village houses the enchanting sparkling peaks of Kinsung, Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lhakpa, Gangchempo, Chorakri Ri, Langshisha Ri, and Kyanjin Ri alongside a monastery and a yak cheese factory funded by the government.
We have an incredible journey today as we set our sights on the summit of Kyanjin Ri at 4773 m. This summit also marks the highest point and altitude of our entire Langtang Valley trek 10 days journey.
The ascent to this rugged peak is not tough nor technical and does not require any technical climbing gear. However, you will need your tenacity to tackle the rocky jagged path for about one to two hours.
Because of its impressive height, the tip of this summit serves as the extraordinary observation point to gaze at some of the most stunningly lit peaks in Nepal. Such as Langtang Lirung glacier, Tsergo Peak, Naya Kang, Changu, Langshisa Ri, Ganchenpo, Yurba, Yala Peak, Langtang II, Kimshung, and Dorje Lhakpa.
After a short yet captivating journey through the Langtang Valley, we are now set to make our way back to Kathmandu. We will take the circular route beside the calm waters of Langtang Khola.
It will mostly lead us downhill towards the well-known landscapes of Mundu, Ghumba, Thangshyap, Ghoratabela, and Ghumanchok. Our day will conclude at the cozy lodge of Lama Hotel, where a warm welcome awaits us.
Today will be the final stage of our romantic walking journey through Langtang Valley. Traversing the wider terrain and basking under the brilliant sun, we will reach the wonderful settlements of Rimche and Dhomen.
The gorgeous Langtang Khola will now leave our side but we will meet ou another faithful companion of Bhote Koshi which will show us our path to Syabrubesi ready to envelop us in its warm hospitality once more.
After admiring a sunrise over the mountains, we will now prepare to leave Syabrubesi and head towards Kathmandu. The same winding road, this time sloping downward, will lead us through the charming towns of Dhunche and Rani Pauwa.
The Trishuli River will become even more picturesque as we journey by its side toward Kathmandu. As we draw closer to Thankot and Kalanki, the busy life of the city will begin to emerge.
Finally, we have arrived in Kathmandu, a place alive with its bustling nightlife and exquisite cuisine. With our wonderful team by our side, we will gather for a farewell dinner raising our glasses to celebrate the success of our Langtang Valley trek.
Enjoy your breakfast in the midst of the Himalayan air for one more time.
Then one of our employee will come with you to TIA where you will check in for your international journey back home.
