Today is the day of your arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal. As soon as you come out of the Kathmandu airport, you will find our representative waiting for you in the waiting area right outside the arrival lounge. You will be warmly greeted and welcomed by the representative and led to the vehicle. Our vehicle will take you to the trip hotel, most of the time in Thamel, that is 20-30 minutes drive, depending upon traffic, from the airport.

After you check into the hotel, you can take relaxing time on your own as there are no activities scheduled for today, except our trip briefing meeting. We will let you know about the briefing timing upon your arrival.

Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel. We come to take your for a wonderful cultural heritage tour of Kathmandu valley. As part of the tour, we are going to visit four of the UNESCO Heritage monuments in Kathmandu valley. The places we visit today are incredible mixture of culture, history, spirituality, art and stories. Overnight in Hote.

Swoyambhunath

Believed to have been created on its own, this Budhhist stupa is the oldest of all the monuments in Kathmandu valley. Standing atop a small hillock, Swoyambunath, known as monkey temple amongst tourists, provides a fascinating view of the valley, surrounding hills and snow-capped mountain at the distance on a clear day.

Patan Durbar Square

One of the three medieval palace squares, Patan Durbar Square holds its medieval art and architectural grandeur. Amazing skill of the artisans is evident in each and every building that stands in the square. The square comprises of medieval palace, temples and museum.

Pashupatinath

This site is the most sacred Hindu temple area in the country. But, as the temple is strictly a Hindu only area, non-Hindu tourists go there to watch the unique Hindu cremation rituals on the bank of River Bagmati. The death rites of Hindu family there are so engrossing and heart-touching which make you feel the moment. It’s not any kind of intrusion in being there and watching somebody being cremated in an open ground. It’s a great cultural experience.

Boudhanath

This giant Buddhist stupa is considered as the biggest one in the world. This small square with giant shrine has a powerful presence of the spiritual vibrations. It’s an important pilgrimage site for the people following Tibetan Buddhism.

We get ready for a day long drive to Syabrubesi, the trek starting point, after early breakfast. The road journey heads towards the destination through a narrow highway that goes outside Kathmandu and winds through beautiful green hills. Most of the stretch of the drive today goes through beautiful mountain sceneries and also passes through several towns and villages along the way. Eventually, we reach Syabrubesi after about seven hours of drive and laze around this small and charming town.

We are going to enter the Langtang valley today. The first part of the day takes us through a gentle uphill and it becomes steeper as we go higher. We walk through forested area and cultural villages. We enter the Langtang National Park after checking in to the area at Ghoda Tabela check post. As we walk slowly ahead on our pace, we can see the Langtang valley getting wider as we approach there.

Langtang village was swept away by the destructive earthquake in 2015 so we do not see the village in the place where it used to be before that devastation. Now, guest houses are built a little further ahead in the place called Mundu. We reach Mundu and laze around for the rest of the day.

We trek to Kyanjing Gompa today. Our walk takes us higher in the elevation and deeper into the Langtang Valley. We can feel influence of the Buddhist culture in the region as we trek along the trail. We pass along chhortens, mani walls, prayer flags; all of them representing the Buddhist cultural traditions. When we reach Kyanjing, we will be welcomed by spectacular view of mountain peaks. We go around the village to explore the awesomeness of the place

We spend an additional day here in Kyanjing Gompa but we won’t necessarily stay idle. We go for an amazing hike to Tserko Ri that stands at 5,000 meters above sea level. Our day starts before the break of dawn to meet the sunrise view from the top. Stunning views of the mountain peaks along with a spectacular sunrise over the Himalayas make our day wonderful. Later, we trek back to Kyanjing village and spend the whole day exploring the spiritual beauty of monastery there and the view.

After exploring Kyanjing Gompa and village and hiking to Tserko Ri for a whole day yesterday, we start our trek towards Ganja La Base Camp today. We set off for the trek after breakfast and cross Langtang River and start uphill trek through rhododendron forest towards Ganja La Base Camp to stay overnight. Once we reach there, we explore around and try to adjust with the thinning layer of oxygen in the air.

We are trekking to the high camp today. We set off on a gentle paced walk towards the destination for the day. We are taking it as an easy day walk to the high camp. When we reach the high camp, we take our leisurely time to explore and acclimatize with the high altitude climate. The beauty of wonderful mountains keeps us engaged.

After the summit adventure, it�s time to trek back and we are heading to Kyanjing Gompa today. The trek back down to Kyanjing Gompa is feels easier as compared to the adventure effort up the peak summit. We reach Kyanjing Gompa on a relaxing pace and laze around once we are there

We are returning back to Lama Hotel on our trek today. After spending wonderful time at Kyanjing Gompa and hiking to Tserko Ri, we are now ready to descend back to Lama hotel and then trek towards Gosainkunda. We stop overnight at Lama Hotel today to take the route to Gosainkunda tomorrow.

After a few days of quality time in the Lagntang valley, Kyanjing and Naya Kanga Peak, we are trekking back down towards Syabru village today. The trek takes us to a different route than we took to go towards Langtang valley and towards Naya Kanga Peak a few days earlier.
