Detailed Itinenary

Arrive Kathmandu.1, 300m. meet the Airport and drive to Hotel over night Hotel in Kathmandu.

We start the day with an early morning drive after breakfast to Syabrubesi. the bus ride takes you on a winding route that goes uphill and downhill where the drive passes through many rural towns and farm villages that finally culminates at a larger town called Trisuli Bazaar; this place lies in a sub-tropical climatic zone where from here on, the road climbs uphill to a cooler region leaving the rice paddy fields behind to maize and millet terraced fields. As the weather changes, so does the culture and the people as well. On arrival at the entrance of Dhunche at 1,965m, this is the only major town of the Langtang area in this district known as Rasuwa. Hereabouts, you will encounter the headquarters of the Langtang National Park office where your trekking and Park permits are checked by the Royal Nepalese Army that also serve as the Park warden. From here, our journey continues farther downhill for 1-2 hours till Syabrubesi village is reached for our overnight camp.

The trek from Syabrubesi is quite pleasant with few up climbs for a while but the rest of the walk is gradual on the winding trail through the terraced farm fields and villages, as the trail descends and joins the path coming from upper Syabru at the Riverside Lodge near the place of Bamboo, an ideal spot for camping with ample time to go for a refreshing splash in the nearby river of upper Trisuli River. Overnight camp

After a pleasant stay here, the trek continues for a short hour on the trail to Langtang and its beautiful valley, we walk through the cool shade of the alpine wood for an hour, after a small stream leaving the tree line behind. The path leads uphill for an hour, then the walks get better on the gradual winding trail with few ups and down till the village of Langtang is reached by lunch time, here you’ll have time to make friends & interact with the local folks and visit the colorful villages with a glimpse of Langtang Himal peeping in the north on top of the great rock wall. over night Hotel.

From Langtang village our morning walk leads through the gradual path for a short while, & then the path winds uphill for few hours through the prickly Burberry and high alpine shrubs, encountering a “mani-prayer wall” where walking in clockwise direction is the positive way of respecting the local culture and religion, as our walk goes further east the valley opens up and then walking on the grassy meadow with views of numerous snow capped peaks in the distance. The walk is more pleasant and can be vigorous due to altitude gain as we come to our destination at Kyangin Gompa. Kyangin Gompa, a scenic charming spot, with peaks looming around from all directions, the closest peak that you can see is the Langtang Lirung of over 7,000m and its icefall just at leisurely distance from the campsite, we stroll into Kyangin Gompa, a small monastery located on the top of the ridge formed by a glacial moraine of rocks and boulders, within Kyangin Gompa area there are 6-7 lodges and a cheese factory. It’s an interesting place for a look around. Overnight Hotel.

At leisure, a well deserved rest day. After breakfast, you can go for a short walk at the nearby hill called Kyangin Ri 4,700m. Adding more heights to your adventure with a panoramic view of the surrounding snow capped peaks; visit the cheese factory with rest of the day at leisure. You could also catch up on some reading which is stimulating in such environments. Overnight camp.

The trek today follows the same route for an hour, then after the bridge the walk is pleasant through the rain and bamboo forest, after leaving the river down below, the climb starts uphill through the landslide area of rocks and boulders, passing through farm terraces till upper Syabru is reached; rows of houses that look like a locomotive train perched on a ridge. Syabru has a monastery near its helipad just a few minutes up from the village. Overnight Hotel.

The walk from here follows the winding uphill trail above the Monastery, as the trek gains more height, superb views of Ganesh-Himal, Manaslu, Langtang and Annapurna range in the far west can be seen as we reach higher ground. after a few refreshing stops in the teahouses en-route, our journey continues an hour uphill from the farmlands into the cool shade of alpine forest, once out of the thick forest, we come to a meadow with one or two teahouses, a lunch break can be had here depending upon the availability of clean fresh water. From this spot the walk is almost gradual with good walking through the pines and rhododendron forest with views of Dhunche town down below. On arriving at Singh gompa, the first few houses make up a cheese processing factory, & this is where we do our overnight Hotel .

The walk climbs uphill passing through a few teahouses at Laurabina, with more views of the north western Himalayan range, after Laurabina, which means a place of walking sticks, which means during the auspicious times in and around August in the full moon as per the Nepali Luna calendar, pilgrims come to pay homage and where a ritual bath at Gosainkund pond delivers a paradise for pilgrims to drink of its holy water for which the legend says it relinquishes the sins of a hundred lifetimes and the Hindu pilgrims come here to change their holy threads, too.

From Gosainkund, we take a gradual walk on a small path along the banks of the lake, and climbing up near the small creek in between the rocks and boulders, the walk up brings us close to the small pond of Surjakund & then the trail here is more gradual winding up to the last pass of Gosaindkund or the east Laurabina La, the highest spot of this trek. After reaching the top, a long descent brings us to Phedi (bottom) 3,630m a place with one or two teahouses. A lunch stop is usually set here; it will be quite a relief after the long steep hard descent. After a nice lunch break, the journey continues towards east to the Helambu region, where the trail from here is bit of everything gradual, some short up hills and down hills as you come back to the vegetation of junipers, rhododendron and other alpine bushes.3-4 hours from lunch will brings us at Ghopte (meaning overhanging rocks, nature’s gift of a cozy shelter for pilgrims) around this area there are few small caves formed by overhanging large rocks. over night Hotel or call tea house.
