Kathmandu to Syabru

Thulo Syabru - After departing from Kathmandu, we embark on a seven-hour road trip towards the Langtang Valley. The road ascends out of the Kathmandu Valley, offering stunning views of the Annapurna Mountains, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and other peaks in the Langtang region. Our first stop is Trishuli Village, from where we continue climbing until we reach Dhunche and then enter the Langtang National Park. From Dhunche, we drive for another hour downhill until we arrive at Syabru Besi, where we will spend the night.

Sybru to Lama Hotel (2,470m)

Lama Hotel - Today, we follow the trail and cross the Bhote Kosi (meaning Tibet River), which flows from Tibet. We then ascend through sub-tropical forest and join the trail coming from Syabru Besi before descending through oak and rhododendron forests. Along the trail, we are likely to encounter langur monkeys playing in the treetops. We continue up a steep incline before reaching the Lama Hotel, where we will stay the night.

Lama Hotel to Langtang valley (3,500m)

Langtang Valley - We will climb through the forest on the first leg of today’s trek and have occasional views of Langtang Lirung through the trees. At Ghora Tabela (3,000 m), we emerge from the forest and come to a Nepali army outpost. We continue and pass through several small settlements occupied by herders who graze their livestock, including yaks, in these mountain pastures during the summer. Not much further, we arrive at Langtang Village, which has mostly been rebuilt in a more modern architectural style. There are still reminders here of the devastation from the 2015 earthquake.

Kyanjin Gompa (3,800m) & Hike kyanjin Ri (4,773m)

Kyanjin Ri - From Mundu, the trail gradually ascends through yak pastures as the valley opens up further and the views become more expansive. After crossing several small streams and mountains, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyanjin. Here, there is a small monastery and a government-operated cheese factory, which is a good place to stock up for lunch and afternoon snacks. As you will arrive by lunchtime, there is time to relax in the afternoon or explore the area. If you are feeling energetic, head up the valley towards Langshisha Kharka to take in some of the amazing views. Today, you can either relax or explore the surrounding area. You may also wish to visit the monastery and the cheese factory, walk up to the moraine to see the spectacular ice faces and tumbling glaciers of Langtang Lirung, or alternatively, ascend Kyanjin Ri directly behind the village for breathtaking views of the Langtang peaks.

Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel (2,470m)

Lama Hotel - After leaving Kyanjin, we head back on the same trail we followed up the valley, following the Langtang Khola to Mundu village and on to Ghora Tabela. The descent will certainly be easier and faster than the ascent. After lunch, we continue the steep descent to the Lama Hotel.

Lama hotel to Syabru Besi

Syapru Besi - Today, we retrace our steps to Syabru Besi, enjoying the peaceful forested hills. If you are feeling energetic, we can take the more scenic route from Rimche via Sherpa Gaon to Syabru Besi; it will take much longer to reach the final destination, but it’s a worthwhile detour.

Drive back to Kathmandu

Kathmandu - Today, we journey back to Kathmandu on a winding and picturesque road with views of green hills and gorges. You will be transferred to the hotel, where you can either relax and enjoy your leisure time, catch up on some sights in Kathmandu Valley, or do some last-minute shopping.
