Off-the-beaten-path trek between Langtang and Gosainkund

After a hearty breakfast, we begin the day with a two-hour hike through a rainforest to reach the village of Bamboo. This trek gives us our first glimpse of the region's flora and fauna. Once in Bamboo, we continue our ascent to the Lama Hotel.

We continue our walk through the heart of a magnificent forest that leads us to the village of Langtang. Not far from there, from Ghore tabela, we admire the majestic peaks of Langtang II and Langtang Ri.

We begin a short but very beautiful day's hike to reach Kyanjin Gompa, the last village in Langtang. We are at the foot of the Langtang peaks. We take advantage of the afternoon to stroll towards Kyanjin Ri.

A day dedicated to the optional ascent of one of the two viewpoints overlooking Kyanjin Gompa. Kyanjin Ri is the most popular viewpoint, located very close to the village. Tsergo Ri is a similar option (elevation gain/loss +/- 1100 m). There are no technical difficulties on these climbs, apart from the altitude and some sections that may be daunting for those prone to vertigo. From the summit, Tibetan prayer flags flutter in the wind, under the watchful gaze of the surrounding ice giants... Return to Kyanjin and the rest of the day is free. Note: Those who wish can stay in Kyanjin or explore the surrounding alpine pastures.

Long descent to the Lama Hotel to spend the night.

We begin the day with a descent towards the Langtang River, before discovering a magnificent forest of pine and juniper trees. A perfect opportunity to spot pandas, wild boars, monkeys, and numerous bird species. We continue our descent to the village of Pairo Thaplo. From there, we climb back up to reach the village of Thulo Syabru, one of the most beautiful Tamang villages. Thulo Syabru has preserved its ethnic customs, culture, and traditions. From here, we have a stunning landscape with an incredible view of Ganesh Himal (7110m).

From Thulo Syabru, we begin a beautiful and steep climb through a forest of oak, fir, and rhododendrons. A short descent then takes us to Sin Gompa (3250m). We visit the small Buddhist monastery in the village and even a cheese factory that makes yak cheese.

We climb to a small pass from which we can admire impressive views of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu and the famous Annapurna range. We continue through this magnificent scenery to reach the sacred lake of Gosaikund where we spend the night.

This day's trek begins with a climb to the Gosaikunda Pass, located at an altitude of 4600 meters. We then descend to Phedi, passing numerous yak farms along the way. We finally arrive at the small village of Ghopte (3430 m).

After breakfast, we set off for the Helambu region. A short descent precedes a gradual climb to Kharka, through cypress and pine forests. A relatively steep ascent leads to the Thadepati Pass (3690m). The views of the Himalayan peaks and villages are as magnificent as ever. After the pass, the trail descends quite steeply through a forest of pine and rhododendrons, bringing us to Kutumsang, where we spend the night.

We hike along a ridge, offering views of the peaks as well as the lower valleys. We pass through several charming Sherpa villages: Gulbhanjyang, Chhipling, and others. We descend to Patibhanjyang and then ascend to Chisapani for our final night in a lodge.

Another breakfast with a view of the Himalayas! Then, we cross a pass at 2450m before descending from Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. We hike through a rhododendron forest to reach Sundarijal, where we meet our vehicle. Transfer to Kathmandu. The rest of the program is at your leisure.
