• Today we trek from the middle of the jungle into the tree zone. One of the most interesting parts of today's trek is Langtang Village. If you ask your guide about the 2015 earthquake, you can only imagine what Langtang Village was like before it. It is entirely different now, and evidence of the avalanche devastation is still visible.
• We will also enjoy a nice view of the mountains to the north and a spiral river valley to the south.

Activity - Trekking

• Today is an easy day on the Langtang Valley trek. This trek is considered one of the easier treks in Nepal because once trekkers get above 3000 m, the trail becomes flatter and the views become even better.
• Enjoy the short hike and use your free time to stroll around Kyanjin Gompa.
• Kyanjin has a few bakeries serving espresso, latte, flavoured tea and pastries. If you enjoy making new friends while trekking in Nepal, spending time in a bakery is a great way to do that.

Altitude - 3900 meters

Special - Kyanjin village

Time - 4 hours

Activity - Trekking mostly on flat road

• There are multiple options for today. You may walk around the village, hike to the base camp of Langtang Lirung, climb Kyanjing Ri to 4800 meters, climb lower Kyanjing Peak at 4500 meters, climb Tshergu Ri at 5000 meters, walk towards Tilmang Pass (Langshisa Kharka), or climb to the base camp of Nayakyang Peak.
• Hiking up to Kyanjing Ri for a 360-degree view of the Langtang Range is a popular choice among most trekkers.
• To choose from all these options, you can discuss your wishes with your guide and assess your stamina for today's activity. Our guides can give you honest recommendations based on their experience.
