Trip Introduction:

Although the Langtang Valley can be reached by a day’s drive from the Kathmandu Valley, this area is still unknown to most trekkers. Dominated by the Langtang Himalayas, this valley trek is relatively short but runs through rhododendron and bamboo forests alongside thundering waterfalls and stunning snow-capped mountains. The trail takes you to an altitude of 4,000m /13,123 ft, and if you want to go higher, you’d not want to miss seeing the sunrise from the Tserko Ri at 5,000m / 16,404 ft.

This diverse trek introduces you to the Tamangs and the Sherpas Buddhist culture, and the ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa, situated near Tserko, upholds this tradition. The spectacular views on this trek include Dorje Lakpa (6,990m / 22,933 ft), Langtang Ri (6,370m / 20,898 ft), and Langtang Lirung (7,245m / 23,769 ft).The trek passes through Langtang National Park- a pristine countryside with majestic flora and fauna, yak pastures, and local cheese factories! Himalayan pheasants, Himalayan deer, Himalayan bears, monkeys, and the elusive red panda, are native to this region.

Langtang Village was utterly destroyed during the April 2015 earthquake. The resilient locals have been busy rebuilding; Teahouses and lodges have been rebuilt and open. The best way for people to help us continue visiting this area.This is a perfect trek for those who want to trek this off-beat track and see something completely different from many of the more touristy areas in the country

After leaving our hotel we cross the Bhote Kosi river by a suspension bridge towards ‘old’ Syabrubesi, a cluster of houses and a school opposite the river. Another suspension bridge carries us over the south side of the Langtang Khola, this river we will be following upwards for the next couple of days. We have now finished most of today’s climbing and descend slowly to our selected teahouse where we will spend the night.

Day 5:Trek from Lama Hotel to Mundu via Langtang Valley:

The day starts with a gentle climb, but it soon becomes steeper, climbing through a forest of hemlocks, oaks, maples and rhododendron The route is now in open country, and passes many many stones, water-driven prayer wheels and a few scattered Tamang villages before arriving in Langtang The surrounding fields containing buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, turnips and barley have typical stone fencing walls

Day 6:Trek from Mundu  to Kyanjin Gompa

Walking through the village of Langtang we will pass many stone many walls, covered with Tibetan inscriptions to please the gods. It then climbs up gradually past the small villages of Mumdu and Sindum. The trail continues through yak pasturesOur route weaves through the large boulders to a gompa and from here it’s a short descent to Kyanjin Gompa.

Day 7: Kyangjin Gompa

Today we stay in Kyajin Gompa to explore a bit more of the Langtang valley. We will continue to climb slowly up the valley until we are surrounded by the mountain amphitheatre with Langshisha Ri, Langshisha Kharka and Dorje Lakpa towering high above us. We will descent vack to Kyajin Gompa after our lunch.

The route goes to the small village of Syarpagaon, and continues onto Bhanjyanggaon and Khangjung before descending back to Syabrubesi. This was the primary route to Langtang before the new trail (which we followed on our way up) was build.

Day 10: Drive from Syabrubesi to Kathmandu:

It’s an easy hike along well-constructed trailsand through primitive yet quite neat little villages toward the larger villages of Chule and Nile, which face weach other on opposite sides of the Syar river at the base of the comma-shaped, steep valley leading up to Mu Gompa.
