Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : KATHMANDU: ARRIVAL DAY

  Welcome to Kathmandu, the lovely and historic capital of Nepal! We'll be at the airport waiting for you when you step off the plane, ready to transfer you to your hotel. You've had a long flight, so get some rest: your adventure begins tomorrow!

• Day 2 : KATHMANDU: SIGHTSEEING AND TREK PREPARATION

  Today after breakfast we start a guided tour to several of the most historical and spiritual attractions in Kathmandu. Some of these landmarks are considered World Heritage Sites including the famous 'Monkey Temple' (Swayambhunath) and Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is one of the largest stupas in the world. At noon, there will be a pre-trip discussion where we can meet our trek leader and other team members.

• Day 3 : KATHMANDU TO SHYABRUBESI

  Altitude: 1,550m/5,100ft: 6- 7 hours drive
  We leave Kathmandu in the morning for Syabrubesi, a village which is also the starting point for treks into the Langtang valley. Our journey will be on a winding road through frequent switchbacks. On a clear day we get to enjoy outstanding views of Manaslu, Annapurna and Ganesh Himal. Our trek for today ends with a descent into the small village of Syabrubesi.

• Day 4 : SHYABRUBESI TO LAMA HOTEL

  After breakfast, we begin our trek along the Langtang Khola. We ascend and descend simultaneously through oak and rhododendron forests. After crossing a bridge over the Langtang Khola (small river), we ascend on a steep trail which will lead us to the Lama Hotel.

• Day 5 : LAMA HOTEL TO THYANGSHEP

  We continue ascending from Lama Hotel and enjoy the mountain landscape with abundant waterfalls. As we reach the green meadows of Ghoda Tabela, we begin to see the white peaks of the Langtang range. Our trail continues to climb up the widening valley, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders.

• Day 6 : THYANGSHEP TO KYANJIN GOMBA

  After breakfast, we will start our journey to Kyangjin Gompa, a principal monastery of the region. We pass by water mills, prayer wheels, chortens, with sacred mounds of rocks with inscriptions carved on them. We also pass by the largest mani wall in Nepal, made from stone with prayers written on them. After the short trek, we spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the Buddhist shrine in Kyangjin Gompa and surrounding areas with the amazing views of the mountains.

• Day 7 : SUMMIT TSERGO RI (4,982m/16,340ft): 4-5 HOURS

  We spend the whole day exploring Tserko Ri which will also help us acclimatize to the high altitude. We begin early in the morning. The trail passes through yak pastures before ascending to Tserko Ri. The sunrise view from the top of Tserko Ri is extraordinary. We get back to Kyangjin Gompa by late afternoon and explore the beautiful monastery while enjoying views of the Himalayas, glaciers, birds and yaks.

• Day 8 : KYANJIN TO LAMA HOTEL: 6-7 HOURS

  We begin our trek after breakfast and retrace our steps to Lama Hotel. Most of the trekking today will be downhill as we pass through forests and beautiful Tamang villages. We also get to enjoy different view of the Himalayas that we had missed climbing up.

• Day 9 : LAMA HOTEL TO SHYABRUBESI: 4-5 HOURS

  We basically retrace our steps back to Syabrubesi. The trek will be easier as it will mostly involve descending

• Day 10 : SHYABRUBESI TO KATHMANDU

  After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu. We spend the rest of the day packing and maybe catching up on some last-minute souvenir shopping. Above & Beyond will celebrate our successful trip in the Langtang Valley by hosting a farewell dinner.

• Day 11 : KATHMANDU: DEPARTURE DAY

  Every great journey must, unfortunately, come to an end. After breakfast at your hotel, there'll be a last bit of time to return any rental equipment, pick up souvenirs, and grab your things. We'll get you to the airport for your flight home with time to spare!
