Once you arrive at Kathmandu International Airport, you'll be received by our staff and transferred to your hotel. After some rest and refreshments, we'll provide you a brief about your upcoming trek to the beautiful Langtang region. At night you will have a welcome dinner of Nepali cuisine before heading on your epic adventure.

Kathmandu Valley has the highest concentration of World Heritage Sites, and it's only fitting not to miss them while you're staying in the valley itself. A great beginning to an already exciting itinerary, you can visit plenty of places in this capital city full of heritage. You will visit the Swayambhunath Stupa (aka "Monkey Temple") in the morning. Later on, have a sumptuous lunch at a restaurant in Kathmandu Durbar Square — one of the three mediaeval Durbar Squares inside the Valley. In the afternoon, you'll visit the temple of Pashupatinath, belonging to Lord Shiva, where you can soak in the atmosphere and watch the world go by from a quiet bench above the bank of Bagmati. Later in the afternoon you will circumnavigate the renowned Stupa of Bauddhanath — probably the largest stupa in the world. Feel free to customise a day-trip from a number of choices.

Early in the morning, our representative will come to your hotel to pick you up for the journey ahead. From Kathmandu, a scenic drive to Syabrubesi ensues. Along the road you will enjoy the sight of lush forests, waterfalls, and rivers. Apart from picturesque landscapes, breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks like Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Langtang will captivate you. Driving through cultivated valleys and mountain villages, you'll reach Syabrubesi. Syabrubesi is a busy town, especially because it's a popular gateway to the Langtang region.

Today marks the beginning of the actual trek. You will begin from Syabrubesi to Lama Hotel early, going through dense forests and sparse villages. Crossing the villages of Bamboo and Rimche, you will ascend along Langtang River. This section of the path is full of rhododendron bushes, old moss-clad oaken forests, and bamboo. Trekkers have reported sightings of wildlife such as the langur monkey, musk deer, and Himalayan pheasant. In about four hours, you will reach a hamlet called Lama Hotel where you'll be staying tonight. Nobody knows how this desolate hamlet in the middle of the dense forest came to be called Lama Hotel. There are neither Lamas here, nor is there any hotel. But legends tell of an old monk from long ago who meditated (and "lived" in a nearby cave aka "hotel") — hence colloquially "Lama's Hotel" or "Lama Hotel" being the name of this place. Views of cascading waterfalls and snow-capped peaks is what makes today's trek worthwhile.

After a quick breakfast in Lama Hotel, we will begin the day with a steep ascent through forests of rhododendron. First we will come to the village of Gumanechok where we'll have a brief stop to catch a breather. We will continue the climb to a place called Ghodatabela, named after a horse "stable" that probably used to be here in olden times. If not a proper stable, locals describe of a "motel" where traders used to tie & feed their horses, and spend the night. Along the road, you will have panoramic views of Mt. Langtang Lirung and see several other villages belonging to the Tamang. Suspension bridges, terraced lands, and cascading waterfalls are frequent in this region — opening up as the forest gets thin. Wide views of the Langtang Valley will mesmerize you against the towering Langtang Himal. Despite the challenges of today's steep path, you'll quickly get into bed at the first sight of a teahouse.

Wake up at leisure, have your breakfast, and begin the trek from Langtang Village. Today, the trek to Kyanjin Gumba is short but significant, mostly done for the purpose of acclimatization. As the path ascends gradually through yak pastures, you will pass carved stones and large Chortens. You will begin to notice that the terrain is getting more rugged by the hour. Higher up, the majestic peak of Langtang Lirung is seen looming in the background. Take a break and a brief lunch in Mundu, before continuing through sparse rhododendron bushes until you arrive at Kyanjin Gumba. Located at a whooping altitude of 3,830 meters, the village (named after the prominent monastery) is famed for beautiful views of snow-capped mountains. If you feel like it, you can visit the old cheese factory to sample some fresh yak cheese. Hop into a teahouse for the night inside this serene wilderness.

Wake up early to the sound of village folk and get ready for breakfast. Later on, you will begin a leisurely but challenging ascent to the peak of Tserko-Ri (5,033 m). Although called peak, it's actually a vantage point – the highest on this trek. Going along winding trails through yak pastures, you will reach the summit to witness a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of several peaks including Langtang Lirung and Kyanjin-Ri. Basking in the beauty, you will relax your muscles and get ready to head back to Kyanjin Gumba by late afternoon. Spend relaxing for the rest of the day in the quiet ambience of the monastery.

Today is the last day in Kyanjin. After an early breakfast, we begin our descent to Lama Hotel. It's mostly downhill today – first through rhododendron forests and then through scenic villages and hamlets. Coming back to the hamlet of Ghodatabela, we will stop for lunch. Later, we will enjoy stunning views of the surrounding peaks and valleys as we descend further alongside Langtang River. The descent is mostly gradual, but at times you have to be careful as the steeps appear suddenly in a couple of places. After about seven hours of trekking, we will come to Lama Hotel in the middle of serenity. Here, we'll hop into a teahouse and call it a day.

You will begin the day with a spectacular sunrise over the mountains. Casting a golden glow across the hills, the sunrise looks more beautiful than ever. After a swift breakfast, we will descend to a trail through dense forests of bamboo and rhododendron. After crossing some hamlets, the path becomes more rugged but views of beautiful waterfalls and natural hot springs will add to the respite. Trudging along fields and forests, you will keep ascending and descending on the meandering trail. The demanding route will be lined with terraced fields, forsaken barns, and mountain vistas until you reach Thulo Syabru, ready for the night.

Begin with a steady ascent, leaving Thulo Syabru behind. First you will ascend through dense rhododendron and oak forests. As you climb higher, the air will grow thinner, and the trail becomes more challenging. After about five hours of trekking with stops in between, we will reach the vantage point of Phoprang Danda (3,190m). Extraordinary close-up views of Ganesh and Langtang peaks will entice you, with the added joy of seeing distant peaks of Tibet. Trekking further, we will arrive at Sing Gumba, with its unmistakable natural beauty and the iconic yak cheese factory. Called Chandanbari by the locals, this place is where we'll stay at a cozy teahouse amid the stillness of the giant peaks.

The day's arduous trek begins with a steep ascent of about five hours through rugged terrain. The landscape transforms gradually — from thick forests to alpine meadows — and immediately thereafter to alpine rocky terrain. Distant views of snow-capped peaks like Ganesh Himal, Langtang Lirung, and Manaslu will be a  welcome respite. As you gain the first glimpse of the sacred Gosainkunda, you will have an awe-inspiring experience. Nestled in a basin surrounded by several smaller lakes (Saraswatikunda and Bhairabkunda), this holy site is where pilgrims come to take a dip to purge their lifetimes of sins. Revered in mythology, this place is where Lord Shiva himself created this lake using his trident and quenched his thirst. After exploring the place for some time, we will rest tonight in one of the many teahouses.

Today, the trek from Gosainkunda to Ghopte begins with a scenic breakfast. Stunning sunrise over the Himalayan peaks will illuminate the lakes. Soak in the scenic view of the surroundings, and continue towards the mountain pass of Lauribinayak (4,610m). Crossing several small lakes like Bhairavkunda and Dudhkunda, you will reach the pass, from where you will have breathtaking views of Ganesh Himal, Langtang Lirung, and Manaslu. The 1,000 m descent is steep and challenging, so tread carefully until you arrive at Phedi. Take a break here, have lunch, and continue through dense rhododendron and bamboo forests to arrive at Ghopte by late afternoon. This beautiful village is where we rest tonight in a teahouse.

The trek to Kutumsang begins with a gradual descent through forests of pine and rhododendron. Trekking in the serene atmosphere, you will then do a steep climb to Thadepati located at an altitude of 3,579 meters. Here we will take a break before descending to Mangigoth. The trail continues further with occasional views of the towering Jugal Himal in the north. Five more hours of trek will bring you to Kutumsang (2,470m), a serene village surrounded by beautiful forests. Here we will stop for the night.

We will begin the trek early from Kutumsang, headed to Chisapani. Today the trekking time is around five to six hours through winding trails going up and downs. First we will come to Gul Bhanjyang, a little pass ('Bhanjyang' is 'pass' in Nepali), where we will stop for lunch. After some time of rest we will continue through the forests, ascend up, and descend further, until we arrive at Pati Bhanjyang. From here, in the final stretch of the day's trail, we will climb up to Chisapani (2,215m). This is a scenic and nature-clad village with panoramic views of Dorje Lhakpa, Langtang, and Shishapangma peaks. We will hop into a cozy teahouse for the night, soaked in tranquility.

This is the final day of this trek. You will begin with a sumptuous breakfast in the serene village of Chisapani. First you will enter the diversity-rich Shivapuri National Park and then descend on the winding trails through meadows. Trekking further through forests of oak and rhododendron, you will have stunning views of Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, and Mt. Numbur. A few hours of trek will bring you to Burlang Bhanjyang, from where you will descend steeply. First you'll cross a forest, and then come down to a dam. Take a brief rest here and then follow a large pipeline that supplies Kathmandu with water. Trekking down through several hamlets, you will reach Sundarijal with its waterfalls. After a brief stop here, you’ll take an hour's drive to your hotel in Kathmandu. Later, you'll enjoy a farewell dinner sharing your inspiring stories of one of the best treks in Nepal.

After breakfast or depending upon your flight schedule we will transfer you to the airport. As your plane takes off from the runway in Kathmandu, your journey to Nepal comes to an end for this time — until you decide to visit again for some memorable and soul-searching trip in the Himalayas.
