Lhasso Adventure representative will pick you up from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal and transport you to our hotel. We will have some free time to rest, eat and have showers.  This evening we meet for team introductions and general questions. We then go out to dinner at our favorite local restaurant. Be sure to drink copious amounts of water in route, as flying and traveling will certainly dehydrate you.  Self care begins immediately.

This morning we enjoy our first Nepali breakfast at the guest house in Thamel. We then visit the famous “Monkey Temple” Swayambhunath on a hill top of Kathmandu.  Once we are ready to leave Swayambhunath, we travel to the largest Buddhist stupa in the world, Boudhanath.  After our temple tours, we travel back to Thamel for lunch.  After lunch we have free time to wander the streets of Thamel, purchase last minute trekking and service project supplies and rest at the Hotel.

Today we will leave Kathmandu and travel to the project site in the village of Kakani District. This is approximately one and half-hour drive from Kathmandu. Once we arrive at Kakani, we will get settled into our tented accommodations and prepare for our orientation to the area and service project.

These days will be spent working on the building project for 8-9 hours each day. Training and tools will be provided. All meals are included during this time.

Today we will pack up, say our goodbye to the building project team. Afternoon will be the well-earned rest day in preparation for tomorrow’s trek. Optional: explore the village of Kakani and bask in all the beauty that Nepal has to offer before setting off on the next chapter of your trek. As this is our last day in this wonderful community, we may have the opportunity for a cooking lesson at the campsite!

Wake up bright and early and drive northwest upwards to the Trisuli bazaar you’ll get views of the Manaslu Massif, Ganesh, Langtang and Jugal Himal. Prepare yourselves for a few humps and bumps, because the road from Trisuli onwards begins to deteriorate. You’ll be driving in these conditions for around 50 kilometres (31 miles) to Dhunche and then another 15 kilometres (9 miles) to Syabrubesi. Another 21 kilometers up hill drive to the Gatlang village from Syabrubasi. Tonight’s accommodation in a basic teahouse.

Today is widely considered the toughest day of the trek. But the rewards far outweigh the gruelling part. Descend gradually along a ridge to the Bamdang Khola, which turns north along the Chilime Khola until you reach the town of Chilime (around 2 hours). After crossing a suspension bridge (always fun), you’ll begin an arduous climb of around 450metres to the village of Gongang. It’ll take around 1.5 hours of steep uphill climbing but there’s a lunch break on arrival. The next section is much less physically strenuous, as you continue the ascent for around 2 hours until you reach Tatopani (2607 metres). Tatopani literally means ´hot water´, where one can cleanse in the natural hot springs. Locals believe that the waters have a healing quality that eases away your aches and pains. Stay overnight in a lodge.

This will be the longest trekking day. This morning we climb to Nagthali Hill 3165m, which was once used as a popular meditation center for the local monks and priests. This is the highest pass in the area, lies in high open grassland and offers panoramic views of snow-covered Langtang Lirung, Kerung, Ganesh Himal and Sanjen Ranges. We descend down to Thuman, a heavily Tibetan-influenced Tamang village. If we are lucky, we might come across large troops of Nepal Gray Langur Monkeys. The ancient monasteries and houses adorned with rich wood engravings here are an unforgettable experience. Stay overnight in a lodge in Thuman.

Walking down to Bhotekoshi, we trek towards a distinct Tibetan influence that can be felt in the village, with its Shamanistic beliefs, ancient monasteries and houses covered in woodcarvings. Pass through rhododendron forests and meadows to reach the Tamang village of Briddim, located in the heart of the Langtang Himal. It will take just over 2 hours of uphill walking. Briddim marks the end of the Tamang Heritage Trail and is often a highlight for many of our travellers. Here you will get to experience a teahouse owned by a local family, sleeping overnight in

their comfortable wooden rooms. You’ll get a richer understanding of the culture here, plus the chance to share stories with your host. Stay overnight in a lodge

Trek from Briddim to Lama Hotel by descending through lush forests and terraced fields alongside the Langtang River. After a short break, continue your journey and stop for lunch at a suitable spot or teahouse. Resume trekking along the scenic path with some ups and downs, and arrive at Lama Hotel in the afternoon. Check into your lodge, enjoy some tea, and relax. Explore the area or rest, and later have dinner at your lodge. Conclude your day with an evening briefing from your guide and get a good night’s rest to prepare for the next day’s trek.

Ascend through Langtang National Park via Gumnachowk and Ghotatabela, finally reaching the village of Langtang (approximately 5–7 hours). Langtang National Park was established in 1976 to conserve the unique flora and fauna of the region. Rhododendron, Nepalese alder and oak forests thrive here due to the temperate conditions. The park is also home to red pandas, Himalayan black bears, snow leopards and more than 250 species of birds. The trail is slightly gradual and beautiful in the valley with the grazing Yaks. After sometime ascends, the trail cross a stream and climbs past several water-driven prayer wheels to the large settlement of Langtang. This is one of the oldest villages along this trekking route and the view from here is more spectacular as we get closer to the mountain. For the rest of the day we walk around the village and stay overnight in a lodge.

In the morning, follow the trail towards the rebuilt village of Kyanjin. Both sides of the path are flanked by stunning views of distant snow-capped mountains. Today we’ll encounter Tamang and Sherpa inhabitants along the trail as they go about their daily lives. Today’s hiking is between 4– 5 hours. Acclimatise this evening with a short climb above the village for great views of the surrounding valley. Stay overnight in a lodge.

You can choose how to spend your time today. May be wake at 4.30 am this morning for an optional walk to Kyanjin-Ri 4773 m / 15655 ft for a stunning sunrise and breath-taking panorama of the Langtang Himalayan range, Kinshung, Yansa Tsenji and the foot of the tumbling glaciers of Langtang Lirung.

or in a similar way, hike up to Tserko-Ri   4985m/16355ft. It’s a tough, 1.5 – 3 hour hike up a switch back trail in the dark, gaining 1000+ metres of elevation along the way. If you’d prefer, sleep in and have a relaxing breakfast before heading out to explore the village and learn more about the lifestyles of the Tamang and Sherpa communities. We can also visit the monastery and the cheese factory there.  You could also take a short hike up to the glacier or try one of several interesting walks around the village.

It’s a big downhill walk back today. After breakfast, head back down the trail via Langtang and Ghoretabela to Lama Hotel. Today’s trekking will take around 7 hours, descending 1600 metres. The long descent will be rewarded with a ‘mountain cold’ Sherpa beer (subject to availability).

Today is our last day of hiking. We keep walking through the forest trail until reaching Pairo along takes about 3 hours. We may have a lunch break there. After lunch you skip the trail to Syabrubesi. Stay overnight in a lodge.

After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu by private vehicle. We drive along the rough road to Trisuli and take lunch there. After lunch, we continue driving to Kathmandu. Transfer to a hotel.

Today is the final day of our trip in Nepal. Our shuttle driver will come to your hotel 3 hours before your flight departure and deliver you to Tribhuvan International Airport. If you are remaining in Nepal, please let us know. We can arrange extra activities in Nepal.
