Read the full journey overview
Langtang Valley is situated directly north of Kathmandu in the central Himalayan region in Langtang National Park, covering a dense forest area of 1710 square kilometers. The highlights of this area are the Langtang Lirung (7,345m) range in the north and high altitude jungles with diverse vegetation and wildlife, glaciers and Himalayan peaks. This trek is often rated as easy family trek. There are no hard climbs and freezing cold temperatures. The trek through the forest of rhododendron following the Langtang river all the way to Kyanjin Gompa offers a magnificent opportunity to view rich flora and fauna of this area. There are numerous water falls and wild bee hives hanging from the cliffs. In Kyanjin walking though high Yak grazing pastures offers an insight into shepherds life. You will also visit one of Nepal's oldest Swiss cheese factories in Kyanjin and the ancient Kyanjin gompa. A walk to the Khyimsung glacier can be an enjoyable experience. The ethnic people residing in Langtang valley are mostly Tibetan origins.
The memorable moments
Highlights
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1Welcome to Kathmandu! — Flying into Kathmandu, you'll have views over the valley, the Himalaya, and the terraced fields below. After completing customs, a representative will be waiting to greet you outside the airport and to guide you through the initial culture shock of Kathmandu’s narrow, winding streets to your hotel.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 2Explore Kathmandu — Kathmandu has a special atmosphere during the early morning hours when the city is slowly coming to life yet not too chaotic. It's a great time to walk and explore the streets or have a chai overlooking one of the local courtyards or durbar squares.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 3Drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi (4,790 ft / 1,460 m) — After an early breakfast in Kathmandu, you'll begin a 7-8-hour road trip to Syabrubesi. The drive climbs high over ridges as it leaves the Kathmandu Valley, and provides impressive snow-capped views of the Annapurna Himalayas to the west, as well as Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and the minor peaks of the Langtang mountain region ahead. Keep your camera close as you'll also encounter rivers, terraced hillsides, and rustic villages as you head into this mountainous region.

Day 4Trek from Syabru Besi to Lama Hotel (8,103 feet / 2,470 m) — After breakfast in Syabru Besi, you'll begin today’s trek that crosses over the Bhote Kosi River—meaning ‘Tibet River’—which flows from nearby Tibet.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 5Trek from Lama Hotel to Mundu (11,646 feet / 3550 m) — After breakfast at the Lama Hotel, you'll continue climbing through the forest with occasional glimpses of Langtang Lirung between the trees. When you reach Ghora Tabela, the trail emerges from the forest and you'll see snow-capped mountains on either side of the valley. At one time, there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepal Army post with no permanent inhabitants.

Day 6Trek from Mundu to Kyangjin Gompa (12,467 feet / 3800 m) — After breakfast in Mundu, the trail climbs gradually through yak pastures. Notice how the valley extends even further than before allowing for extensive views. After crossing several small streams and moraines, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyangjin. This village has a small Tibetan monastery and a government-operated cheese factory—a good place to stock up for lunch and afternoon snacks.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 7Rest day at Kyangjin Gompa (Optional Day Hike to Kyangjin Ri) — Today is a rest day in Kyangjin Gompa, so take advantage of this opportunity to sleep in and relax. After breakfast at your teahouse, you can explore more of the area by visiting the monastery and cheese factory if you haven't already. If you are feeling more energetic, walk up the moraine to see spectacular ice faces and tumbling glaciers of the Langtang Lirung.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 8Trek from Kyangjin Gompa to Lama Hotel (8,103 feet / 2,470 m) — After breakfast in Kyangjin Gompa, you'll hit the trail and retrace the route you took through the valley, following the Langtang Khola River to the village of Mundu and eventually Ghora Tabela. Though the trail is flat in certain places, the way down will certainly be faster than your ascent.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 9Trek from Lama Hotel to Syabrubesi (4,790 feet / 1,460 m) — After breakfast, you'll continue retracing your steps to the village of Syabrubesi. This easy route lets you enjoy the area's peaceful forested hills. If you're feeling energetic, you can opt for a more challenging route from Rimche via Sherpa Gaon to Syabrubesi; it will take much longer to reach your overnight destination, but it’s a spectacular detour.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 10Drive from Syabrubesi to Kathmandu — After an early breakfast in Syabru Besi, you'll begin the 7-hour return trip to Kathmandu. Just like the way you came, you'll experience impressive snow-capped views as well as rivers, terraced hillsides, and rustic villages as you depart this mountainous region and get back to the bustling city.
Confirm daily arrangements with the provider.
Day 11Depart Kathmandu — It's time to say farewell to Nepal. Enjoy your last moments in Kathmandu with breakfast in a café, a final stroll through the narrow alleys and temples, and some final souvenir shopping.
