Trip Overview

Langtang Trek Route is pretty straightforward, with not many divergent trails in between. The route is clearly marked and is filled with various teahouses run by Tamang natives. We begin our journey from the capital city of Kathmandu. On our first day, we will drive northbound, following the mighty Trishuli River. Our drive will last for at least 7-8 hours before reaching Syabrubesi, a small riverside town located at the confluence of the Langtang and Bhotekoshi rivers. We then followed alongside the Langtang River to reach the Lama Hotel. Lama Hotel stands as a small hamlet located in a deep gorge between two rocky cliffs. From here, the flat river basin of Langtang River begins. Our trail then steadily follows through small hamlets like Ghodatabela and Thangshyap before reaching Langtang village at 3430 meters. Right before you enter the village, we pass through the colossal debris of a landslide triggered by a 2015 earthquake in the area. From Langtang, we will have mesmerizing views of the Langtang mountains. The pathway from this village is flattened, and we reach Kyanjin Gompa and Kyanjin Ri 4773m, our final stopover.

Itinerary

Day 1: Kathmandu - Dhunche - Syabrubesi (7 hrs drive)
We will begin our journey with a morning drive right after breakfast that will lead you to Syabrubesi. The bus journey follows a winding route, navigating both uphill and downhill roads, passing through various rural towns and farming villages. Along the way, you will encounter Trisuli Bazaar, a larger town situated in the sub-tropical zone in Nuwakot district. As the road ascends further, transitioning into a cooler region, the landscape changes from rice paddies to terraced fields of maize and millet. With these changes in weather and environment come shifts in culture and people as well. Eventually, you will arrive at Dhunche (1,965 m.), which serves as the primary town of both the Langtang area and Rasuwa district. Here lies Langtang National Park headquarters where your trekking permits are thoroughly checked by park wardens from the Royal Nepalese Army who are responsible for overseeing this protected area. Continuing your journey downhill for approximately 1-2 hours brings you to Syabrubesi village where we will stay for the night.
Day 2: Syabrubesi - Bamboo - Lama Hotel (6 hrs trek)
The journey from Syabrubeshi is quite enjoyable, with a few uphill sections. However, the majority of the hike takes place on a relatively flat trail that passes through terraced farm fields and villages. Eventually, the trail descends and merges with another path that originates from upper Syabru at the Riverside Lodge. From there, you continue along a path that leads into a refreshing forest within the gorge, following alongside the rushing Trisuli River. The trek mainly consists of climbing uphill in the pleasant shade of rhododendron and oak forests. After approximately six hours of hiking, you reach a small clearing where Lama Hotel is situated. You will spend overnight at Teahouse/Lodge accommodations
Day 3: Lama Hotel - Langtang Village (6 hrs trek)
Starting from Lama Hotel, a morning hike of 2-3 hours will take you to Ghoda btable. Ghodatabela is situated in the midst of a forest filled with pine, hemlock, and rhododendron trees. As you continue on this trail, you will begin to notice the effects of increasing altitude. In Nepali language, Ghoda tabela means "horse stable." In the past, people from Langtang and even as far as Kathmandu used to trade with Tibet by bringing Tibetan ponies to this town. Ghoda tabela was an ideal place for cattle and horses to graze. Upon reaching Ghoda tabela, there is a lodge and a park warden's barrack where your permit will be checked once again. From here onward, the trek continues for a few more hours along the trail leading to Langtang and its picturesque valley. For about an hour after leaving Ghoda tabela behind, you walk through refreshing shade provided by alpine woods while following a small stream. As you ascend uphill for another hour or so before reaching Langtang village itself via gentle winding trails that have occasional ups and downs.
Day 4: Langtang - Kyanjin Gomba (6 hrs trek)
Starting from Mundu, the morning stroll takes you along a flat path for a brief period before gradually ascending through thorny blueberry and alpine bushes. Along the way, you will come across a Mani prayer wall that should be circumvented in a clockwise direction, adhering to local customs and beliefs. As you continue eastward, the valley opens up and reveals a grassy meadow offering breathtaking views of numerous snowcovered peaks in the distance. The journey becomes more enjoyable but may feel more challenging due to the gain in altitude as you approach Kyanjin Gompa for your overnight stay. Situated amidst picturesque surroundings, Kyanjin Gompa is adorned with towering peaks visible from all directions. Among them is Langtang Lirung, reaching an impressive height of over 7,000 meters with its icefall not too far from the village. Perched on top of a ridge created by glacial debris consisting of rocks and boulders lies Kyanjin Gompa monastery—a small sanctuary within an area that also includes more than 20 lodges and even a cheese factory. This stretch of the trek takes about 3 hours. You will have your lunch ready upon reaching Kyanjin Gompa. If the weather is permissible, you will then be guided towards Kyanjin Ri which takes about 3 hours roundtrip. Upon returning spend your night at Teahouse/Lodge accommodations.
Day 5: Kyanjin Gomba - Langtang Village - Thangshyap (6 hrs trek)
As per the itinerary plan you will start your return journey after a pleasant night at Kyanjin Gompa. If the weather on the previous day is not feasible, you will be taking a morning hike to the top of Kyanjin ri on this day. After returning from the hike, you will be served with breakfast before your beginning your return journey. The trail we take is the same on our way up. We traverse descending through small hamlets located along. Further ahead from Langtang Village, we reach Thangshyap for our night stay
Day 6: Thangshyap - Lama Hotel - Rimche - Bamboo - Syabrubesi (6 hrs trek
We retrace our footsteps alongside Langtang Khola towards Syabrubesi. Today’s stretch is all descent that is steep and through dense forest. We traverse through Bamboo and Pairo villages before reaching the Langtang hydropower project. From here we walk on a dirt road towards Syabrubesi marking the end of our trekking journey. Overnight at Syabrubesi hotel.
Day 7: Syabrubensi - Dhunche – Kathmandu (7 hrs drive)
On the final day, our vehicle will start off from Syabrubesi for your drive towards Kathmandu. We will take the high mountains road of Rasuwa and descend to Nuwakot. From Nuwakot, its a smooth sailing highway ride towards Kathmandu. It takes anywhere from 6-7 hours to reach Kathmandu. We will drop you off at your hotel in the evening. Arrive at your hotel with unforgettable memories, a deep appreciation for the Langtang region, and a sense of accomplishment from your adventure. On the way, reflect on the incredible experiences, stunning landscapes, and the sense of achievement you've gained throughout the journey
