Overview

Langtang Ultimate Trek from the UK is one of the shortest hiking routes in Nepal. It is situated in the northern region of Nepal bordering Tibet. The trek offers fantastic scenery of forests, glaciers, ice peaks, majestic views of mountains and surrounding landscapes, and multiple animals on the trails. 

Langtang Ultimate Trek from the UK Trip Introduction: 

The Langtang Ultimate Trek from the UK includes the beautiful peak Langtang Lirung (7,246m), among many of the peaks in the region. The trails go through the famous Langtang National Park, leading to the Langtang-Gosaikunda region of ethnic Tamang inhabitants. You get the amazing opportunity to explore traditional villages, climb able small peaks, and do white river rafting in this region.

The trek is often considered as the acclimatization trek before attempting one of the longer or more challenging treks like Everest Base Camp Trek or Annapurna Circuit Trek. It is among the most visited destinations which makes it very common during the trek to meet other trekkers and pilgrims heading toward the holy lake of Gosaikunda. 

Note: Most officials suggest novice trekkers be accompanied by a guide during the trek.

Itinerary

$itenary=$package->country($country)->pivot->detailed_itinerary;

After you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will welcome you and assists you to get transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. In the evening, we will have a welcome dinner, together, in one of the typical Nepalese restaurants. You'll enjoy the cultural & musical programs in the heart of Kathmandu followed by a short briefing about your trip and overnight at the Hotel.

After breakfast, we will start the day around the cultural world heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley. The guided tour includes visits to the Hindu pilgrimage site Pashupatinath temple, the world's biggest Bouddhanath Stupa, the famously known monkey temple Swoyambhunath Stupa and uniquely architectured Kathmandu Durbar Square. We will have a short evening pre-trip discussion and introduction with our fellow trekking staff for our future adventurous trip.

We will start our day with a drive on a northern highway that twists and climbs over mountain ridges to the Trishuil Valley. The journey might take 7-8 hours taking us through the picturesque landscapes, mountain scenery, and local villages. On the way, we will also get a chance to witness the magnificent views of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Mt Kerung of Tibet. We reach Syabrubesi for an overnight stay at a local teahouse.

We will start our walk taking a light breakfast. We move at own our pace and the trail ascends for around two hours through the forest. The ascend will be followed by a climb of about an hour to reach Bamboo Village (1,850m/6,068ft), our stop for the lunch. This forested path is a very well-stabilized trail that follows the upstream. We will also enjoy the bird life around the bushes and bee hives hanging on a cliff, which is another great attraction for visitors. Again, from here, we will climb steeply through the bamboo forest to reach the Lama Hotel for our overnight stay.

The trails will provide us with a very pleasant walk on this day. Following the trail through rhododendron and pine forest for around three hours, we will reach Ghora Tabela where we will be stopping for the lunch. This area is famed for its wild habitat. Many babblers with lots of herbal are found here. We will walk for more than three hours after lunch and end the trek for the day at the Langtang Village. The scenic trails to the village will keep us awake during the walk. 

We will leave the Langtang village early morning after breakfast. We will start our trek leisurely for around three to four hours to reach today's destination at the Kyanjing Gompa. We get beautiful views of Mt. Ganchempo and Langtang Lirung from Kyanjing Gompa. We will get enough time to take a visit to the surrounding areas like Yak cheese Factory, Monastery, and local houses.

You will be taking a full day of rest and relaxation in the surrounding area on this day. You can enjoy the views, explore the local area, visit some highlights of Cherku-ri (5,150 meters), go around the glaciers, or walk through the Langshisha kharka. You are free to follow your interests.

We will retrace our steps somewhat as we head back from the Gompa in the morning time. We will have an easy downhill and pleasant walk through the rhododendron forest to Lama Hotel. We rest for the night in the Lama Hotel before we continue our journey to the Thulo Syabru village the next day.

The trail will lead us again through the bamboo & rhododendron forest. If we are lucky, we might witness the local wild boar as well as other animals and birds on the route to Thulo Syabru. Besides, we will have a marvelous close-up view of Ganesh Himal. The first part of our walk is an easy downhill walk through the river bank but the final part is quite a steep uphill for a couple of hours. We stay at the Thulo Syabru overnight. 

The trek will continue to Dhunche after an early breakfast. We take a pleasant walk through the forested path and some old Tamang villages for about 4 to 5 hours. After an early arrival at Dhunche, we will spend the rest of the time exploring the town. Dhunche is the headquarter of the Rasuwa district. We take some rest to make ourselves prepared for the drive back to Kathmandu the next day. Overnight at Dhunche.

We will drive back to Kathmandu in the same way that we came. It might take 6-7 hours to get back to Kathmandu Valley. After we arrive in Kathmandu, the guide will help you to get transferred to the hotel. You can relax at the hotel or explore the local area in the remaining time. Overnight at hotel.

On this day, you can go for any last-minute shopping for souvenirs or gifts for your family, friends, or relatives.  You can also commence any extra trips or activities you may have booked with us until the time of departure. If you are ready for departing, you'll be transferred to the International Airport for your departure flight to your onward destination.We wish you a wonderful Himalayan adventure with us!
