Our Himalayan Paradise airport representative will meet you outside the terminal. Please look for our company placard. You will be taken to your hotel where you will meet your trekking guide. If you are not too tired, you will enjoy an afternoon stroll in the colorful tourist area of Thamel.
Overnight in Hotel
Today, the trail crosses over the Bhote Koshi and follows the south side of the Langtang Khola (stream), which we will follow for the next few days. You are immediately immersed in the natural wonders of the Langtang National Park. You will likely see monkeys playing alongside the trail, and if you are lucky, red pandas and bears. The climb to Bamboo, 1960m is mostly gentle with a few steep ascents. The trail crosses a suspension bridge to the north side of the river. The climb to Rimche, 2400m, is steeper and the vegetation becomes sparse. From here it is a gentle ascent to Lama Hotel, which is not a hotel, but a small settlement.
The trail starts with a gentle climb through a forest of hemlock, oak and rhododendron. The trek route follows Gumanechok, Ghoda Tabela, 3008m, which means, “Horse Stable”, but there is an army checkpoint here. From here the valley widens and we get beautiful views of Langtang Lirung as well as the devastation wreaked by landslide when a huge chunk of the mountain loosened and buried the old Langtang Village in the 2015 earthquake. After passing by the memorials we reach the “New” Langtang village and settle into one of the lodges and listen to stories of survival, courage and resilience.
Today is a shorter walk which is good for acclimatization and affording time to enjoy the magnificent views of the mountains; Langtang Lirung with its dramatic icefall flowing down and Langtang Kinshung,6781m, to the north. We pass through yak pastures. Kyanjin Gompa is place with lots to explore and lots of small peaks to climb. There is time to stop and taste the cheese at a cheese factory and visit the monastery at the top of the hill.
Today is a day to rest and explore the area. It’s a 2-hour climb to Kyanjin Ri, 4500m, from where there is a great view of the mountain range in the west, including Langshisha Ri, 6370m, Gang Chhenpo, 6388m, and Dorje Lakpa, 6966m.
We retrace our steps and descend all the way to Lama Hotel. Descending around 1400m is not difficult, but tiring.
Again we retrace our steps, leaving the mountain vistas behind us to reach Syabrubesi, where we started out.
After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu from Syabrubesi.
Transfer to the Airport for departure from Kathmandu.
