Detailed Itinerary of Langtang Valley Trek
Day 1: Kathmandu Arrival
Welcome to the heart of Nepal, Kathmandu Valley. As you land at the Tribhuwan International Airport, a representative of Peregrine awaits you displaying your name card. He will then escort you to your designated hotel.
As you settle in, you will receive an invitation for a traditional Nepalese dinner where you will meet your Langtang Valley Trekking guide and the team. Your guide will give you a brief orientation about your trek along with the dinner.
Day 2: Exploring UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu
Kathmandu Valley is famous as the city of deities. There are numerous temples and shrines representing the two main religions of Nepal, Hinduism and Buddhism. In the morning, we will prepare a ride to the holy temple of Pashupatinath. Walking briefly through the paved streets of the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, you usually get to feel the change in the atmosphere compared to the chaotic city area of Kathmandu.
The destination for the day to explore will be Boudhanath Stupa and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Visiting these sites, you might want to end your day with Nepalese delicacies in and around the Thamel area.
Day 3: Depart to Syabrubesi
Along with the air of Kathmandu Valley, we hop in our vehicle and depart towards the initial point of the Langtang Valley trek. Depending upon the traffic on the Trishuli highway, we might reach Syabrubesi after seven to eight hours of driving. The driveway gains elevation, providing brief sightings of surrounding mountains viz: Mt. Ganesh, Mt. Manaslu, and Mt. Langtang.
We are reaching Syabrubesi. We will check in at our hotel and lodge for the night.
Day 4: Trek to Lama Hotel
On this day, we venture on our first trekking trail from Syabrubesi crossing the Bhote Koshi River. The river originated in Tibet; hence, the name Bhote Koshi means Tibetan River. The trail gradually increases from standard to steep terrain giving us a significant climb through the sub-tropical forest. You will see your first Rhododendron forest on this trail along the route. We will end today’s trek lodging in a local tea house in the village.
Day 5: Trek to Mundu
Gaining strength from last night’s sleep, we will start a fantastic day with an equal ascent but challenging elevation. In the first half of the day, the Langtang trek route will lead us to forested trails and get us to Ghore Tabela. You can take a short break whilst the guide finishes essential chores at the permit checkpoint.
Resuming the walk from Ghore Tabela towards the Mountain blooming trail, we complete the other half of the day.
Day 6: Trek to Kyanjin Gompa
Today we will climb further uphill trails that open to high meadows and pasture land for yaks. You will bump into various small monasteries through the Langtang Valley trails, colorful prayer flags flapping with the wind. Next, compared to the Mundu trails, you will walk fewer hours and reach Kyanjin Gompa afterward. Reaching there, we will take advantage of extra time to visit the region’s well-renowned oldest monastery, ‘ Kyanjin Gompa’.
Day 7: Customized Activity Day
