Langtang Valley Trek-Cost, Distance, Itinerary, In Nepal

We will be met by a person who will take us to our hotel after we arrive at the Tribhuwan International Airport. Then we check into the hotel, freshen up, and relax. Organizers will throw a welcome supper in the evening. Kathmandu is where you'll spend the night.

After breakfast, we'll go on a guided tour of Kathmandu's most important historical and spiritual sites. The historic Durbar Square, the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, the famed 'Monkey Temple' (Swayambhunath), and the Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is one of the world's largest stupas, are the the all considered World Heritage Sites. A pre-trip meeting will take place at midday when we will meet our trek leader and other team members. Himalayan Glacier informs us about our journey and gives us the chance to ask any questions we may have about our future adventure. In Kathmandu, spend the night.

In the morning, we depart Kathmandu for Syabrubesi, a settlement that also serves as the beginning point for treks into the Langtang valley. Our adventure will take us down a twisting route with several switchbacks. On a clear day, the vistas of Manaslu, Annapurna, and Ganesh Himal are spectacular. Today's hike concludes with a descent into Syabrubesi, a small town. In Syabrubesi, spend the night.

We start our walk to Syabrubesi along the Langtang Khola after breakfast. Through oak and rhododendron woodlands, we ascend and drop at the same time. We hike a steep trail that leads to the Lama Hotel after crossing a bridge over the Langtang Khola (small river). Lama Hotel is where you will spend the night.

We continue up from Lama Hotel, taking in the beautiful scenery and numerous waterfalls. We can see the white peaks of the Langtang range as we approach the verdant meadows of Ghoda Tabela. Our road continues to ascend the spreading valley, passing a few herders' temporary huts. Before arriving at Langtang hamlet, we pass through a Buddhist monastery, which was impacted by the April 2015 earthquake. Our journey to Mundu continues. Mundu is where you'll spend the night.

After breakfast, we'll set out for Kyangjin Gompa, the region's most important monastery. We pass religious mounds of rocks with inscriptions etched on them, as well as water mills, prayer wheels, and shortens. We also walk through Nepal's largest mani wall, which is constructed of stone and has prayers written on it. We spent the rest of the afternoon following the short climb exploring the Buddhist shrine in Kyangjin Gompa and the surrounding environs, which provided us with breathtaking views of the mountains.

We'll spend the entire day visiting Tserko Ri, which will help us adjust to the high altitude. We get started quite early in the morning. Before reaching Tserko Ri, the trail travels through yak farms. The view of the sunrise from the top of Tserko Ri is breathtaking. By late afternoon, we return to Kyangjin Gompa and explore the lovely monastery while taking in views of the Himalayas, glaciers, birds, and yaks.

After breakfast, we begin our trip and return to Lama Hotel. The majority of today's trip will be downhill as we pass through forests and picturesque Tamang settlements. We also get to see a different side of the Himalayas that we would have missed if we had climbed higher. Lama Hotel is where you will spend the night.

We largely follow the same path back to Syabrubesi. The walk will be easier because it will be mostly downhill. In Syabrubesi, spend the night.

We return to Kathmandu after breakfast. The rest of the day will be spent packing and possibly doing some last-minute souvenir buying. Himalayan Glacier will organize a farewell meal to commemorate our great trip to the Langtang Valley. In Kathmandu, spend the night.

Today is the last day of our Nepal adventure! About three hours before our scheduled flight, a representative will transport us to the airport. We'll have plenty of time on the way home to plan our future excursion in Nepal's beautiful land.
