Kathmandu (1,350m) to Syabru Besi (1,550m: 8 hours)

We’ll set off early in the morning towards Syabru Besi in our own private jeep. This 141km journey will consist of both an on-road and off-road adventurous ride with scenic views of Ganesh Himal and Annapurna Himalayas. You’ll get to see rural villages exquisitely depicting the local culture, pass through rolling rice fields, steep mountainous routes and travel across the Chilime Hydropower plant to reach out overnight accommodation at Syabru Besi. 

Syabru Besi (1,550m) to Lama Hotel (2,380m: 6 hours)

Once you’re done with breakfast, it’s time to get your legs moving for a great adventure. Today you’ll descend across a steel suspension bridge over Bhote Koshi River which winds all the way down from Tibet. The trail soon gets exciting, especially for nature seekers, as we navigate our way to higher lands through sub-tropical rhododendron forest, scenic woodlands with majestic waterfalls, hidden hot springs, and through the natural habitat of naughty langur monkeys and red pandas. The day will wind down as we hike the canyons aside the gushing Langtang Khola River until you reach your cozy warm bed in our teahouse accommodation in Lama Hotel.

Lama Hotel (2,380m) to Langtang (3,543m: 6-7 hours)

Feel closer to nature as we find our way through a lush green pine forest on our ascent towards Langtang, with Langtang Khola rushing alongside the canyon. We’ll lighten the mood after an hour or so with a warm cup of tea beneath the alpine trees while the river slides calmly in the foreground. Today’s trek further leads us to Kortabela where you can amaze in the long-awaited view of Langtang Lirung. End your day by stretching your legs and satiating your trekker’s appetite with a nice hot plate of Dahl Bhat.

Langtang (3,543m) to Kyenjing (3,870m: 3-4 hours)

As we proceed trekking towards the scenic valley of Kyanjin our view of the picturesque valley will begin to broaden. Today will be a relatively short trek in which you will come across lush and exotic yak pastures and Buddhist Mani walls, which are made up of stones of varying sizes carved or painted with Tibetan Buddhist inscriptions. Crossing into Kyenjing, we’ll cross a suspension bridge over a mountain river that guarantees a splendid view of ice fall from a nearby mountain. As you approach closer to Kyanjin, the breathtaking view of snowy capped Langtang Lirung starts to unveil.

 Don’t forget to stop by the prayer wheel that operates with running water to get good vibes for the journey ahead - myths say that the prayer wheel accumulates good karma (wisdom) and purifies bad karma(negativity).

Acclimatization and rest day in Kyenjing (3,870m)

Start your day with a sweet retreat in the heart of the Himalayas, take a deep breath and imagine rolling down the deep abyss of the Himalayas. After you’re done with an early morning wander (or a sleep in!), we will head off on a day hike to Tserko Ri (5,033m) which is approximately a 4 hour hike from Kyanjin Gompa. The 360° panoramic viewpoint makes it absolutely worth it to summit! It might be a little challenging for some people, but it’s a non-technical hike that offers astounding views of sky stabbing peaks, the most prominent amongst them being Langtang Lirung (7,234m). Continue your acclimatization day by exploring the centuries-old Kyenjing Gompa (monastery) depicting the colorful traditions and culture of Nepal or visit the world’s only cheese factory at 3,500 meters! Gompa’s yeasty cheese is simply mouthwatering!

Kyenjing (3,870m) to Lama Hotel (2,380m: 6-7 hours)

As we bid farewell to the serene Langtang valley, we begin to retrace our way back to Lama Hotel. Pass through familiar alpine pastures or navigate through local communities. The Tamang people are considered very friendly. Be sure to  listen in to them as they may have some very interesting stories to tell!

Our descent will be much smoother and quicker, so you can visit any areas previously unchecked or missed. We’ll stop by at the Earthquake monument to offer our prayers for those who lost their lives in the devastating earthquake of 2015, which wiped away the whole Langtang village. The remains of the village are still to be found in the landslide wreckage.

Lama Hotel (2,380m) to Syrabu Besi (1,550m: 4-5 hours)

Our last descent of the trek towards Syabru Besi! After breakfast, you’ll continue descending downwards from Renche through the village of Sherpagaon. This will be the last trek on this route, so take your time to wave goodbye to the Himalayas while maintaining a comfortable pace. Don't miss this final opportunity to click a dazzling Instagram of you adventuring in the Langtang Region!

Syrapu Besi (1,550m) to Kathmandu (1,350m: 8 hours)

We want to offer you the most of your time in Nepal, and the opportunity to experience as much as you can. So today we make the long bus journey back to Kathmandu, taking a final chance to breathe in the mountains, winding roads, terraced farms, small towns, and roadside villages. Depending on the time we arrive back, you can take the afternoon to yourself to wander the bustling tourist district of Thamel to finish up your souvenir shopping, or rest up in your hotel. Join us for a final meal together, as we enjoy a Nepalese farewell dinner with traditional live music and dance.
