Your journey begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal. Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from Chingu Treks and Tours will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. After checking in, you can relax or take a short walk around the lively Thamel area. This is a great time to explore some local shops, cafes, and restaurants or purchase any last-minute gear for your trek. In the evening, you will gather with your trekking guide and fellow trekkers for a briefing and a welcome dinner to discuss the details of the trek.
Today is dedicated to sightseeing in Kathmandu, where you'll visit some of the city's most famous cultural and historical landmarks. Our tour will include visits to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, and the ancient Pashupatinath Temple. These sites provide a glimpse into Nepal's rich spiritual and cultural heritage. After the tour, you’ll return to your hotel for some relaxation. The evening is free for you to explore more of Kathmandu or shop for any final trekking supplies before the adventure begins the next day.
Today, we leave the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu behind and drive to Syabrubesi, the starting point of our trek. The drive takes approximately 7-8 hours, offering scenic views of the countryside, terraced fields, and the Trishuli River. As we drive north, the landscape gradually transforms, and the majestic mountains start to emerge in the distance. Upon arrival in Syabrubesi, we check into a local lodge, where we’ll spend the night. This small village marks the gateway to the Langtang Valley and is an ideal place to rest before beginning the trek.
The trek begins today as we follow the trail alongside the Langtang River, ascending through dense forests of oak, rhododendron, and bamboo. The trail offers beautiful views of waterfalls, small streams, and the surrounding mountains. After about 6 hours of trekking, we reach Lama Hotel, a small settlement nestled in the valley at 2,380 meters. Lama Hotel offers a peaceful environment and a good place to rest and acclimatize. We will enjoy a hearty meal before resting for the night, preparing for the next day's journey.
Today, we continue our ascent into the Langtang Valley. The trail becomes more exposed as we climb, offering stunning views of Langtang Lirung (7,227 m) and other peaks. We pass through several small settlements and yak pastures, and after approximately 7 hours of trekking, we reach Langtang Village, located at an altitude of 3,430 meters. Langtang Village, once a thriving Sherpa settlement, was devastated during the 2015 earthquake but has since been rebuilt. Here, you can interact with the friendly locals and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We’ll stay in a lodge in Langtang for the night.
Today is a shorter trek that takes us to Kyanjin Gompa, the highest point of our Langtang trek. The journey to Kyanjin Gompa takes around 3 hours, and the trail winds through yak pastures, crossing small streams and passing beautiful mountain landscapes. Kyanjin Gompa, a sacred Buddhist monastery at 3,870 meters, offers stunning views of Langtang Lirung and the surrounding mountains. Once we arrive, we’ll have the rest of the day to relax, explore the monastery, and acclimatize to the higher altitude.
Today is an acclimatization day, allowing you to rest and fully enjoy the stunning surroundings of Kyanjin Gompa. You can visit the monastery, explore the area, or take a short hike around the region. For those looking for more adventure, there are optional hikes to nearby viewpoints, including a trek to the Kyanjin Ri viewpoint for panoramic views of the Langtang peaks, or a hike to the nearby glaciers. This day is crucial for adjusting to the higher altitude and ensuring a safe trek onward.
After a restful day in Kyanjin Gompa, we begin our descent back down the valley. The trek back to Lama Hotel takes around 6-7 hours and follows the same trail through the Langtang Valley, but this time, we’ll be able to enjoy the scenery in reverse. As we descend through forests and pastures, we’ll pass by yak herders and encounter views of the valley from a different perspective. Upon reaching Lama Hotel, we’ll relax and spend the night, ready to continue our journey the next day.
Today’s trek takes us toward Thulo Syabru, a beautiful village known for its scenic location and traditional Tibetan culture. The trek from Lama Hotel to Thulo Syabru takes about 6 hours. We will cross bridges, ascend through rhododendron forests, and pass through a few small settlements along the way. As we approach Thulo Syabru, the views of the surrounding mountains and the valley below become more impressive. We’ll spend the night here, enjoying the local food and hospitality.
Today, we trek to Cholang Pati, a high-altitude settlement offering magnificent views of the surrounding peaks. The trail from Thulo Syabru to Cholang Pati is a steady climb, passing through lush forests and offering occasional views of the mountains. After around 6 hours of hiking, we reach Cholang Pati, located at 3,630 meters. This quiet village offers a peaceful setting, and you can rest and enjoy the tranquility of the Himalayas as we prepare for the next leg of the trek.
Today, we make our way to Gosainkunda, a sacred alpine lake surrounded by towering peaks. The trek to Gosainkunda takes 6-7 hours, and the trail gradually ascends through rhododendron forests and rocky terrain. Gosainkunda is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus, and its crystal-clear waters are a sight to behold. Upon arrival, you’ll have the chance to take in the stunning views and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere of the area. We’ll spend the night in Gosainkunda, surrounded by mountains and the sacred lake.
Today, we begin our descent from Gosainkunda to Dhunche. The trail is mostly downhill, taking us through forests and offering beautiful views of the Langtang range. After approximately 6-7 hours of trekking, we reach Dhunche, a small town that serves as the gateway to the Langtang region. In Dhunche, we’ll spend the night at a local lodge, reflecting on the stunning beauty of the trek and its spiritual significance.
We leave the mountains behind as we drive back to Kathmandu. The 8-9 hour drive takes us through the scenic foothills, terraced fields, and rivers, with beautiful views along the way. Upon reaching Kathmandu, we’ll transfer you to your hotel for a well-deserved rest. The evening is free for you to explore the city or relax after the long journey.
Today marks the end of your Langtang Gosaikunda Trek with Chingu Treks and Tours. After breakfast, you will be transferred to Tribhuvan International Airport for your flight back home or onward destination. We hope that the memories of this incredible adventure will stay with you for a lifetime. Safe travels, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable trek in the future!
