11 Days Shared Langtang Valley Trek

Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu

1. 1 day · Admission ticket included
   After you've checked in to your hotel, you can explore one of Kathmandu's cultural attractions or have a rest. The evening is a good time to go out to eat, and Thamel, a popular tourist destination, offers a wide selection of eateries serving both Western and regional Nepali cuisine.

Day 2: Explore around the Kathmandu

1. Kathmandu
   1 day
   When the city is slowly waking up in the morning hours and isn't yet too chaotic, Kathmandu has a unique atmosphere that you will love. It's a great time to stroll and explore the neighborhood, or to enjoy a cup of tea while gazing out over one of the durbar squares or neighborhood courtyards. There are numerous ways to spend the day in the Kathmandu Valley, given the abundance of breathtaking sights nearby.
   Later in the evening, go out to eat at one of the city's top restaurants, or your specialist can set up a dinner at a local family's home.

Day 3: Drive from Kathmandu to Syabru Besi

1. Syapru Besi
   1 day
   Early departure from Kathmandu is advised for the seven-hour drive to the Langtang Valley. As it leaves the Kathmandu Valley, the road climbs steeply over ridges and offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna Himalayas in the west, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and the peaks of the Langtang region up ahead. Before ascending to Dunche and the Langtang National Park, we pass through the busy town of Trisuli. It takes another hour to descend the hill from the town of Dunche to Syabru Besi (Alt. 1,460 m/4,790 ft), where your accommodation for the night is located.

Day 4: Trek to the Lama Hotel from Syabru Besi

1. 1 day
   The trail today crosses the Bhote Kosi, also known as the "Tibet River," as it flows from nearby Tibet. The trail then ascends gradually through uninhabited oak and rhododendron forests before joining the trail from Syabru Besi. Langur monkeys can be spotted in the trees, so keep an eye out. The steep ascent through the forest to the Lama Hotel (Alt. 2,470 m/8,103 ft) is rewarded with a cozy lodge and a comfortable bed in the small town. Overnight and dinner at the Lama Hotel after around 6 hours of trekking

Day 5: Trek to Mundu from Lama Hotel

1. 1 day · Admission ticket included
   The trail leaves the forest at Ghora Tabela (Alt. 3,000 m/9,842 ft), where mountains loom on either side of the valley. The path continues to gently ascend, and the valley widens as it passes a few temporary towns inhabited by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the summertime high pastures. If you haven't seen one already, you'll probably see your first yak soon. The trail's next section serves as a somber reminder of the 2015 quake. There is now only a vast rock field where Langtang village once stood, along with numerous lodges. Remember that your visit will aid in providing support for the survivors and spare a thought for the tourists and Nepalis who lost their lives here. Just another 30 minutes of walking will bring you to Mundu (Alt. 3,550m/11,646ft). The old homes in this area serve as a reminder of how the villages in this valley used to appear. As of today, most of the guestrooms and houses in this area are constructed in a more modern cultural manner.

Day 6: Trek to Kyangjin Gompa

1. 1 day
   The trail ascends gradually from Mundu as the valley widens and the views expand while passing through yak pastures.
   Today’s trail ends at Kyangjin (Alt. 3,800m/12,467 ft) after crossing several minor streams and moraines. There is a small monastery nearby, as well as a cheese factory run by the government that is a great place to get supplies for lunch and afternoon snacks. Since you'll be there by lunch, you have the afternoon free to relax or go exploring. If you have the energy, you can ascend the valley toward Langshisha Kharka to see some of the breathtaking views.

Day 7: Rest day in Kyangjinay

1. Kyanjin Gompa
   1 day · Admission ticket included
   Today is a rest day at Kyanjin, the highest point of this trek, where one can take in beautiful scenery views of the Tsergo-Ri point hills or the top of Kyanjin Riading, which is located at an elevation of more than 4,700 m. The point provides an amazing view of Langtang and Ganesh Himal (7,405 m), Langtang Lirung (7,234 m), Bengaluru (Langtang II), Kimshun (6,745 m), Shalbachum (6,918 m), Chimsedang, Naya-Kanga or Ganja Chuli (5,846 m), Gangchempo, and Tilman's lovely Fluted Peak that stretches east towards 6,980 m). Views also include a few peaks on the Tibetan side of the border, which is formed by the Langtang Himal, which separates Nepal from Tibet/China. Overnight at a teahouse/lodge in Kyangjin.

Day 8: Trek to the Lama hotel from Kyangjin

1. 1 day · Admission ticket included
   Retrace your steps from Kyangjin to Ghora Tabela by taking the Langtang Khola from Mundu village to Kyangjin. Certainly, the descent will be faster than the ascent. Continue down the downward slope to the Lama Hotel after lunch. Overnight at Lama Hotel.

Day 9: Trek to Syabru Besi from Lama Hotel

1. Syapru Besi
   1 day
   Retrace your steps to Syabru Besi while taking in the peaceful hills covered in trees. If you feel up to it, take the breathtaking detour from Rimche to Syabru Besi via Sherpa Gaon; it will take much longer overall, but it's a beautiful detour.

Day 10: Drive to Kathmandu

   1 day
   An overland journey takes you from Syabrubesi village and Rasuwa district to Kathmandu, either in a private car, coach, or tourist bus depending on the size of the group.

Day 11: Farewell Nepal

1. 1 day · Admission ticket included
