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 talk of a "shack" 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 (4,984 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. This strenuous ascent is totally optional for today as you can trek to Kyanjin-Ri too, on the eastern side. If you choose to visit Tserko-Ri instead of Kyanjin-Ri, you will get an equally beautiful vistas of glaciers and peaks. 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 will 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.

This is the final day of this trek in Langtang Region. As we descend from Lama Hotel after breakfast, we will follow the Langtang River along a winding route through bamboo and rhododendron forests. Here and there we will have glimpses of Ganesh Himal range and some peaks of southern Tibet. After six hours of steady descent, we will reach the village of Bamboo where we will have a leisurely break for lunch; and of course to provide some respite to the aching muscles. Descending further along the river, we will come to the village of Briddim, and have one last sumptuous view of the entire Langtang Valley. From here, in this last stretch of our trek , we will arrive at Syabrubesi. Hop into a lodge, have a proper meal, and go to bed — reflecting on the beautiful journey you took last week.

This being your last day in Langtang region on this trip, you will certainly feel a sense of nostalgia, especially having visited some beautiful locations in the mountains of Langtang. You begin the day with breakfast in Syabrubesi, before getting ready to drive back. You will continue the journey to Kathmandu, enjoying scenic views along the Pasang Lhamu Highway. Lunch will be served en route. The winding drive takes approximately seven to eight hours crossing lush hills and farmlands. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, transfer to your hotel and later 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.
