Get ready early in the morning for an exciting road journey to your first mountain village of Syabrubesi. A private jeep or a bus will take us out of Kathmandu, guiding us toward the bustling Trishuli Market. After a brief refreshment, we will continue driving along the widely stretched Pasang Lhamu Highway. The route from here is truly spectacular, ascending along the ridges. The beautiful mountain hamlet of Rani Pauwa will be traversed before we reach Dhunche, where our papers will be inspected, marking our official entry into Langtang National Park. The road will continue to twist, rise, and descend, until we reach Syabrubesi.

In the early morning, we will begin our adventure of walking. We will come across our first two suspended steel bridges, both crossing the Bhote Koshi River. The gorgeous Langtang Khola will then show us our way to Dhomen Village. The climbing trail will ascend through a jungle valley of huge rhododendrons and towering conifers until we arrive at Bamboo. After some well-deserved refreshments, we will start to climb the long, steep stone steps. After two hours of effort, Rimche village will greet us, from where Lama Hotel is just a stone's throw away.

Enjoying the company of the playful waters of Langtang Khola, we will begin ascending through the green landscape of Langtang forest. Shortly, we will be once again showing our permits to the officials at the Nepal Army Checkpost located at Ghumanchok. The gigantic crimson rhododendrons will decorate our continuously climbing path until we reach Chunama. The magnificent 7,225m high summit of Langtang Lirung will make us pause our adventure for a while. This rest will prepare us for the rapidly and sharply climbing trail that will take us to a 3,000m elevation at Ghoratabela. The forward track now slowly goes down to Thangshyap before we reach the new Langtang Valley.

Our upward journey will continue today as we travel to the 3,543m high Mundu Village. You can now feel the humid and green landscape has transitioned into the dry, arid terrain of the Tibetan plateaus. Walking through the picturesque yak meadows of Singdun and Yemphu, we will soon reach Kyanjin Gompa. It is the final settlement in the Langtang Valley that provides access to several paths leading to various glaciers and summits. The area also hosts a beautiful monastery and a government-funded yak cheese factory.

On this day, we will reach the highlight of our trek as we climb to the peak of Kyanjin Ri at 4,773m. Its ascent is not technical, and no equipment is needed; all that is required is your perseverance to climb the rugged, stony trail for about an hour or two. Being located in a strategic position in the heart of a mountainous landscape, its summit opens up unbelievable views of Langtang Lirung glacier, Tsergo Peak, and Yala Peak. Filling our memory box with the precious spectacle, we will now return with happy hearts to our lodge in Kyanjin Gompa.

From today, we will set on the beginning of a new journey towards Gosaikunda and Helambu. The path today is predominately descending, which will bring us closer to the already-known surroundings of Mundu, Ghumba, Thangshyap, and Ghoratabela before we finally reach the welcoming lodge of Lama Hotel. This easier day of walking allows you to enjoy the scenery from a different perspective as you make your way down the valley.

Our once loyal friend, the Langtang Khola, will soon welcome us again and guide us down to Rimche, from where we will walk down steadily to Bamboo. Get ready to climb sharply along a twisting track for a while, then we will head down to a canyon where a long and high suspended bridge will be waiting for us. After carefully crossing the bridge, the track ahead will carry us above a small hill. With great delight, we will see Ganesh Himal penetrating the cloudless sky. After climbing down from the ridge, we will get on with our walk up until we reach the beautiful ridgetop village of Thulo Syabru.

Our trail will continue to climb as we aim to reach Shin Gumba today, better known as Chandanbari. Our upward journey will soon lead us to Dursagang. Next, we will push ourselves to the 3,210m height of Foprong Danda, where Ganesh Himal reveals its beauty from all angles. A forest trail from Dhimsa will then lead us to Shin Gumba, a spiritual settlement with a local monastery and cheese factory, where the atmosphere is simply filled with religious vibes.

After we depart from Shin Gumba, our ascent continues along a small ridge until we reach Chalang Pati. We then need to tackle a steepened trail that rises hastily to Laurebinayak. This place is simply incredibly blessed by not only the massive peaks of Ganesh and Langtang but also by Annapurna and the double summit of Manaslu. The trail keeps rising, twisting and turning, taking us to the enormous height of the Gosaikunda Pass. The high-altitude environment is visible now as we advance to the first of the Gosaikunda Lakes, Saraswati Kunda, followed by Bhairav Kunda and Gosaikunda itself.

We will devote our morning to discovering the beautiful terrain of Gosaikunda. After that, we will walk along an inclined pathway that will soon direct us to a grassy meadow, passing the remaining four lakes of Gosaikunda. Their beauties will captivate our senses, and in no time, we will be at the top of the highest elevation of our trek: the grand Laurebinayak Pass at 4,610m. This Pass marks our entrance into the Helambu land. A 900m descent will take us to the tail of this pass, known as Phedi, and a series of ascents and descents follows until we settle ourselves at the lodge of Ghopte.

Early in the morning, we will exit Ghopte and indulge in a brief descent before we ascend the track, passing through a rich pine and cypress forest. A more challenging steep terrain will take us to the heights of Thadepati. Now, we will go down slowly, enjoying the cool breeze coming through the rhododendron and pine trees. We will pass through Magin Goth, from where we will have to climb a little to Kuala Bhanjyang. The remaining trail is mainly downhill now until we make it to the village of Kutumsang, located in Shivapuri National Park.

From Kutumsang, we will trek up a hill and walk down to Gul Bhanjyang. A dusty road will take us to another ridge at 2,500m known as Thorong Danda. After descending from this hill, we will arrive in Chipping village. We will then slowly make our way down to Pati Bhanjyang, from where the popular viewpoint of Chisapani is just at a short distance. This spot is famous for its sunrise and sunset views over the Himalayas.

Gazing at the magical Gaurishankar and Langtang Himals, we will eat our last mountain breakfast. Then, we will head along a picturesque trail winding through the lush forest of Shivapuri National Park. Shortly, we will arrive at an army checkpoint from where we will exit the park and walk for a while to reach Mulkharka. Stone steps will now guide us down to Sundarijal, where you can see a dazzling waterfall. We will find our vehicle calmly waiting for us to take us back to the urbanization of Kathmandu. In the evening, we will celebrate with an authentic Nepali farewell dinner.

It is now time to say farewell to the magnificent Himalayas and all the friends you have made during your stay. We hope every moment you have spent in this paradise has formed a memory to treasure. Our car will transfer you to Kathmandu International Airport three hours before your flight for your journey home. Namaste! Until we meet again.
