Breakfast will be served at the hotel. Your city tour guide will arrive promptly at the hotel with a private vehicle and driver. After breakfast, you will process to visit the following religious and historical sites, all of which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1979 AD.

Swayambhunath is situated atop an elevated hill station in the heart of Kathmandu city, standing 77 meters above the city’s level, providing panoramic views of the entire Kathmandu valley. It is also famously known as “Monkey Temple” among tourists due to the abundance of monkeys found on the site. While primarily a Buddhist pilgrimage site, you can also find a Hindu temple harmoniously coexisting alongside the main temple of Swayambhunath.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, situated in the heart of Kathmandu, is the former Royal Palace of Nepal. “Durbar” translates to ‘palace’ in Nepali. It stands out as one of three durbar squares in the Kathmandu valley. Today, it serves as a key attraction for tourists, renowned as the center of medieval art and architecture.

Within the Durbar Square, your tour will encompass visits to several historical landmarks, including the ancient palace museum, the temple of Kumari (the living goddess of Nepal), Hanuman Dhoka, the Kasthamandap Temple, and the statue of Kal Bhairav.

Boudhanath is the largest stupa in Nepal, situated 11km northeast from the heart of Kathmandu city. Its magnificent size and mesmerizing shape are sure to leave you stunned. Historically, it is believed to have been built in the early 5^th century and now stands as a beacon of Buddhist belief. Surrounding the stupa, there are many terrace restaurants where you can enjoy a lunch break.

Pashupatinath Temple stands as one of the largest and most revered shrines for Hindus worldwide. Situated on the western bank of the holy Bagmati River, which flows through the center of the Kathmandu valley, it also serves as a popular cremation site for Hindus. The majority of Hindus who pass away in the Kathmandu valley are brought to Pashupati for cremation, so it is highly likely that you will observe open-air cremations during your visit. Entrance to the main temple is restricted to Hindus only. However, even if you are non-Hindu, you can still observe the main temple from the eastern bank of the river.

Today, you will drive to Syabrubeshi, located 122 km north of Kathmandu. There are two routes to reach Syabrubeshi. One route follows the Prithivi Highway, which leads to Pokhara. After reaching Galchhi, located 56 km west of Kathmandu, the road diverges from the Prithivi Highway and heads north along the east bank of the Trishuli River.

Another route takes the newly constructed and shorter road via Tokha, crossing Gurje Bhanjyang. Whichever route you choose, they eventually converge at Bidhur, the headquarters of Nuwakot district. From there, the road continues along the east bank of the Trishuli River for some time. As you pass through Pokhari Gaun, the road ascends through villages, terraced fields and forests. Just before reaching Syabrubeshi, the road reconnects with the Trishuli River. Crossing the river, you continue driving on its west bank all the way to Syabrubeshi.

Breakfast will be served in the hotel at 7:00 am. You should pack your luggage before breakfast so that the porters can prepare their loads while you eat. This will be your usual routine until the trek ends. The trail heads east, crossing a suspension bridge over the Trishuli River, and then follows the north bank of the Langtang River. The trail ascends gradually as you follow the river. Most sections of the trail pass through forests, with several tea houses along the way before reaching Lama Hotel.

Trekking from Lama Hotel to Langtang is a beautiful journey offering stunning views of the Himalayas and an opportunity to experience natural beauty and cultural immersion with moderate trekking difficulty. You will begin walking right after breakfast, continuing to follow the river all the way to Langtang. The path mostly passes through forests and begins to open up as you approach Langtang. After three hours of walking, you will reach Ghodetabela, which is halfway to Langtang. You can have lunch either at Ghodetabela or at Thangshyap, which is about an hour further ahead. From Ghodatable, it takes another hour and a half to reach Lantang. (*Note: The old Langtang village was swept by a huge avalanche triggered by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015, leaving only rubble. The villagers have since rebuilt the Langtang village close to the original site).

It will be a pleasant walk passing through beautiful settlements, Buddhists stone walls, and crossing streams. You will continue following the Langtang Khola. The journey from Langtang to Kyangjin Gompa takes four hours, and you will reach your destination by lunchtime. The trail is a bit steeper at the beginning. Afterward, most sections of the path are fairly straight, except for a short steep ascent just before reaching Kyangjin Gompa. Kyangjin is the last village in the region.

Spend today at your leisure, a well-deserved rest day. After breakfast, you can go for a short walk to the nearby hill called Kyangjin Ri (4700 m), which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding snow-capped peaks. Alternately, take the time to visit the cheese factory or simply explore the village.

After a wonderful time at Kyanging, you will return down to Lama Hotel, retracing your steps. The journey will be easier as you will mostly walk downhill. Lunch will be served at Ghodatabela.

After breakfast, you will walk back down to Syabrubeshi, retracing your steps. You will reach Syabrubeshi by lunchtime.

After breakfast, you will drive back to Kathmandu following the same route that you took when driving to Syabrubeshi.

Today marks your final day in Nepal. We will drive you to Kathmandu International Airport three hours before your flight time.
