Langtang Valley Trek – 12 Days

Upon landing at Tribhuvan International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our representative, who will be waiting for you outside the terminal with a placard. From there, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in a private vehicle. Once checked in, you can relax and enjoy your first evening in the vibrant capital city.

Note:
If you arrive in Kathmandu after 4:00 PM, your pre-trek briefing will take place at the hotel with your guide. This will be your chance to ask any important questions, so please feel free to speak up.
However, if you arrive earlier in the day (before 4:00 PM), we’ll hold the briefing at our office. During this session, we’ll introduce you to your trek leader or guide and go over the plan in detail.
For the briefing, please bring your passport, three passport-sized photos, and a copy of your travel insurance policy. If you have any remaining balance to settle, it can be done during the meeting. You’ll also be asked to sign a trip agreement and a non-liability disclaimer.

After an early breakfast, we begin our journey from Kathmandu to Syabru Besi by private tourist vehicle. The drive takes around 7 to 9 hours, offering beautiful views along the way.
As we leave the busy city behind, the road winds through green hills, terraced fields, and scattered villages. We follow the Trishuli River upstream, passing through Dhunche before reaching Syabru Besi. On clear days, we might even catch a glimpse of Ganesh Himal in the distance.
The scenic landscapes make the ride enjoyable, though some sections of the road may be rough or under construction. By late afternoon, we arrive in Syabru Besi, a small village nestled in the hills and the starting point of our trek.

Today marks the beginning of our trek into the Langtang Valley. We start by crossing a suspension bridge over the Bhote Koshi River and follow the trail that runs alongside the Langtang River.

The path gradually ascends through dense forests of oak, rhododendron, and bamboo. Along the way, we pass the small settlement of Bamboo (1,960 m), a peaceful spot surrounded by nature. From there, we continue on a gentle uphill trail toward Rimche.

Keep your eyes open as this part of the forest is home to wildlife such as red pandas, langurs (monkeys), and even Himalayan black bears—though sightings are rare, the forest is full of life and sound.

After a steady 5 to 6-hour walk, we reach Rimche, where we settle in for the evening surrounded by forested slopes and the soothing sound of the river.

After breakfast in Rimche, we begin our journey deeper into the Langtang Valley. The trail climbs steadily through a peaceful forest filled with rhododendron, oak, and pine trees. Passing through the small hamlet of Gumanechok, we make our way up to Ghodatabela, which translates to “Horse Stable”—a fitting name for the wide meadows you’ll see, often grazed by yaks and horses.

From Ghodatabela, the valley opens up and the views become more striking with every step. Waterfalls tumble down the cliffs and traditional Tamang settlements dot the landscape, adding cultural richness to the natural beauty.

We also pass through the area where the old Langtang Village once stood, which was tragically swept away by the 2015 earthquake. Today, a new village has been rebuilt just above the former site, where locals continue to rebuild their lives and warmly welcome trekkers.

We end the day’s trek at Langtang Village, surrounded by towering peaks and a strong sense of resilience.

After breakfast, we begin a gentle yet steady ascent from Langtang Village to Kyanjin Gompa. Though today’s walk is shorter, it plays an important role in helping your body adjust to the altitude.

The trail leads us through the peaceful village of Mundu (3,442 m), past mani walls carved with Tibetan mantras, spinning prayer wheels, and colorful Chortens that reflect the deep Buddhist roots of the region.

As we approach Kyanjin Gompa, the valley opens wide with sweeping views of the surrounding peaks, including the imposing Langtang Lirung. The village itself is nestled beneath snow-capped mountains and offers a quiet, serene atmosphere.

This afternoon, you’ll have time to relax or explore the area—perhaps visit the monastery or take a short hike around the village for closer views of the mountains.
