Description

Sign up for a majestic 10-day trek to The Langtang Valley, which is home to the Tamang people, who follow a mix of Bon and Tibetan Buddhist religions. This makes the trek around the valley an opportunity to gain insights about their culture, traditions, and values.

    • Early in the morning, we’ll drive along the riverside of the Trishuli River via a private vehicle. Accompanied by the scenery of foothills and ridgeline, this thrilling but scenic drive will gradually take you across the settlements of Trishuli Bazaar, Betrawati, and Dhunche then ultimately to the village of Syabrubesi (1,550m). Along the way, you will observe a spell-binding panorama embracing Mt. Annapurna II (7,937m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Ganesh Himal (7,422m), and other neighboring snow-clad peaks complemented by beautiful countryside comprising green hillock, rivers, terraced farmlands, and rustic villages.
  • Day 3: Trek from Syabrubesi to Lama Hotel (2,380m) (5/6 hours): 11.3km/7 miles expand_more
    • On this day, we will begin our trekking venture. We’ll pursue the trail that traverses Bhote Koshi River via a suspension bridge then advances along the Langtang Khola.
    • Afterward, the trail progresses through the landslide area, then makes its ascent past woodland covered by blue pine, oak, fir, and massive spruce to Ramche (2,400m), a settlement positioned on the bank of Langtang Khola. During this journey, we can spot a variety of wildlife such as Langur monkeys, red pandas, Himalayan black bears, and yellow-throated martens. At last, the trail leads us to Lama Hotel (2,380m).
  • Day 4: Trek to Langtang Valley (3,430m) (5/6 hours): 14.8 km/9.1 miles expand_more
    • Continuing our trek above the Langtang Khola, we climb uphill on the trail that shortly becomes precipitous and proceeds beyond the woodland of rhododendrons, oak, and maple. En route, we can catch a mesmerizing glance of Langtang Lirung towering at 7,246m asl. 
    • Thereafter, we forge ahead across a log bridge and then ascend far off pursuing the trekking trail to the thriving grassland of Ghora Tabela (2,992m). From this point onwards, the trail slowly ascends to the setting where the valley spreads out in the form of lush pastureland particularly used to graze yaks. Past this terrain, we move further along the trail and progress up through rhododendron vegetation and Tamang settlements. 
    • Subsequently, making our way over the spouting stream; we push forward by the prayer wheels and mills powered by the force of flowing water to set our foot in Langtang (3,430m). The beautiful village of Langtang features flat-roofed Tibetan-style houses and farmlands of wheat, turnips, buckwheat, and barley fenced with stone walls.
  • Day 5: Langtang Valley to Kyangjin Gompa (3,870m) (4/5 hours): 6.8 km/4.2 miles expand_more
    • On the fifth day of our venture, we follow the windy trail that proceeds uphill to the top of a ridge highlighting a giant Chorten.
    • Now, the trekking trail leads the way beyond the colossal Mani wall and a spurting stream to the Mundu Village (3442m).
    • Succeeding its headway across multiple wooden cantilever bridges over several small streams; the trail finally arrives at Kyangjin Gompa (3,870m). As the name suggests, this place is celebrated for Kyangjin Gompa, an elegant monastery. In addition, this place is also home to a government-run cheese manufacturing facility. You can explore this facility and get a taste of cheese and curd made from Yak milk. A wander around this outlandish land delivers 3600 views of mountains including Langtang Lirung (7,246m), Tsergo RI (5,000m), Ganja La (5,160m), Dorje Lhakpa (6,430m), Yala Peak (5,500m), Langshisa Ri (6,427m) and Naya Kang (5,844m).
  • Day 6: Rest Day in Kyangjin Gompa and Explore Tserko Ri (5,000m) (4/5 hours): 5km/3.1 miles expand_more
    • This very day is entirely dedicated to acclimatization and exploration of the surrounding area. As a thinner atmosphere with low levels of oxygen is found at higher elevations, we must acclimatize to the surroundings properly so that we don’t turn into a victim of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness).
    • It is a fact to note that we can speed up the process of acclimatization via short hikes. So, we hike to Tserko Ri (5,000m), the highest point of our entire trek. The ascent lasts about 4-5 hours depending on your physical fitness. Adorned with prayer flags, the apex of this peak bestows the sublime panorama of the whole Langtang Valley along with snowy peaks of Dorje Lakpa and Shisha Pangma to the east, Langtang to the west, and Yala Peak to the north. Moreover, you can also plainly spot the Ganja La Pass.
  • Day 7: Kyangjin Gompa to Lama Hotel (2,380m) (6/7 hours): 21.6km/13.4 miles expand_more
    • With a few glimpses of alluring mountain vistas, we trek downhill on the same trail along the Langtang Khola, back to Langtang village then Ghora Tabela.
    • From here, we make a descent further past the village of Ramche and arrive at Lama Hotel (2,380m) in the end.
  • Day 8: Lama Hotel to Syabrubesi (5/6 hours): 11.3 km/7 miles expand_more
    • Through the lush greenery, we continue our descent with the enchanting vistas of mountaintops and green hills by our side.
    • At last, we make it to Syabrubesi (1,550m). As we take our time to return, we can acquire more understanding of the ethnic Tamang culture and their traditional lifestyle on the way back to our destination.
  • Day 9: Syabrubesi to Kathmandu: 145km/90 miles expand_more
    • Bidding our final farewells to the fascinating valley of Langtang and its good-natured residents, we drive back to Kathmandu via a private vehicle. This ground journey on the rugged path along the ferocious river Trishuli takes about 7-8 hours depending on traffic conditions. En route, we can enjoy the view of aesthetic landscapes comprising native settlements, pristine streams, terraced hills, and snow-covered peaks as a backdrop.
