• Today, the first part of the trail crosses the Bhote Koshi and follows the Langtang Khola. The trail gradually ascends to Bamboo, passing through Landslide. Afterwards, your trek ascends gently to Rimche (2400 meters) through Bamboo (1960 meters), which lies on the bank of the Langtang Khola. You can have lunch here if you like, and at the end, the trail levels out to Lama Hotel. En route, you may see red pandas, monkeys, and bears if you are lucky.

• From Lama Hotel, we continue gently ascending above the Langtang Khola. As the trail progresses, it becomes steeper. From time to time, we can enjoy exotic sights of Langtang Lirung, rising to 7246 meters. The trail leads to a log bridge, and after climbing further, we come across the lush meadows of Ghora Tabela at 2992 meters. Here, we will see several lodges and a police check post. Further on, the route opens into a wide valley of yak pastures and scattered Tamang villages showcasing water-driven mills and prayer wheels. After descending for a while, we arrive at Langtang village after crossing a stream and reaching a height of 3430 meters. Langtang village is the headquarters of Langtang National Park and features flat-roofed Tibetan-style houses, hotels, and cultivated lands yielding buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, turnips, barley, and more.

• The trail skirts gradually through rich yak pastures and the interesting traditional villages of Muna to Singdun. We cross a wooden cantilever bridge and reach a wide valley after climbing a moraine.
• Finally, after ascending along the mountain passes, we arrive at Kyangjin Gompa. There is a small monastery and a government-operated cheese factory.

Stay overnight at the teahouse.

• In the morning, visit Kyangjin Ri (4,550 meters) for panoramic mountain views, and in the afternoon, return to Lama Hotel.
