As you head further north some of the high ridges you cross will provide your first glimpses of snow-clad Himalayan peaks (Ganesh Himal and the Langtang Range). After another descend down the valley side you will arrive at Syabrubesi a busy trading and trekking town. There are many trekking lodges here serving trekkers heading towards many parts of the Langtang region. There is also a range of small shops where you may purchase some last-minute items for your trek. But make sure you get to bed early and get plenty of restful sleep – tomorrow will be a big day

Day 3: Syabrubeshi to Lama Hotel Overnight in trekking lodge (2,500m)

Pass By: Langtang Valley, Langtang National Park Nepal
The first part of today’s rather long walk is the hardest – to take your time on the climb and the day will get easier. You start by crossing the small bridge above Langtang Khola just north of Shabrubeshi and the trail immediately starts ascending. As we walk uphill the beautiful dense forest will accompany you on the way followed by the Langtang River, which we will be crossing several times. After walking 4-5 hours we will stop for lunch in a place called Bamboo. After lunch we start the trek again ascending to Rimche, further continuing towards the Lama Hotel.

Day 4: Lama Hotel to Langtang Village. Overnight in trekking lodge (3,450m

Stop At: Langtang Valley, 123 Ba, Langtang National Park 44600 Nepal
From Rimche you will follow the original valley-floor trekking trail up the Langtang Valley. Damage to bridges and the trekking trail have all been pretty much repaired and so the walking on this and subsequent days will be much easier than yesterday. The trail takes you through rhododendron and pine forest for around three hours to reach Ghoda Tabela where you will stop for lunch. The trail then continues on and reaches the site of Langtang Village, which was destroyed in the Earthquake of 2015, but the village has been rebuilt again just by the side of the previous Langtang village. Your guide will say a prayer for all those that perished and you may also wish to add your prayers and thoughts. You are now in the middle of the glorious Langtang Valley and likely feel humbled by the size and power of the mountains towering above you on both sides of the valley. This is a spectacular location.

Pass By: Kyanjin hydroelectric plant, Langtang 45000, Nepal
Today you may rest or explore the valley and riverbeds around Kyanjin Gompa. If you feel strong and have no symptoms of altitude sickness you might like to take a trek to climb to the top of Tsergo Ri at 5,150m or 19,600 feet altitude. You should take this ascent very slowly as the air is thin and the gradient gets steep. The gentler you are on your legs, lungs, and heart the better. You will return back to Kyanjin Gompa with some of the most stunning Himalaya Mountain photos. The view from Tsergo Ri will just capture you and you will not want to leave. Such is the captivating power of the Himalaya Mountains all along the Langtang Valley.
