The first day of trekking follows the Langtang Khola River, passing through dense forests
and crossing numerous suspension bridges. There is the option to stop and visit tea house
for afternoon tea. The trail goes up and down but it's not a challenging day of hiking (the
perfect warm up).
Â
Day 5: Lama Hotel to Thyangshyapu (3140mts) - 5 hours
After breakfast, we embark on our second day of the journey. Our trail continues along
dense forests. After making a steady climb up through the valley, the tree line is finally below

water mills, prayer wheels and chortens with sacred mounds of rocks with inscriptions
carved on them.

Leaving Thyangshyapu after morning tea we initially pass through Langtang Valley and yak
pastures. On this day we also pass the largest mani wall in Nepal (stone wall with prayers
written on them). The prayers written on the mani wall are supposed to be blown away by
the wind. Crossing several wooden bridges spanning different valleys, we begin getting into
high altitude. This is when we are grateful for the slow ascent as some may start feeling the
‘thin air’. Kanjin Gompa is completely surrounded by the Himalayan Mountains. Guests will
take a walk around Kanjin Gompa in the afternoon to soak in the stunning views, glaciers,
icefalls, birds and yaks.
Option to do smaller hikes in the afternoon to Kyanjin Ri (4800mts) for sunset and

Early morning we visit to Tserko Ri (5000m/16,404ft) for incredible sunrise views over the

mostly downhill, it is 4/5 hours walk from Kanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel. The trail returns

great cultural experience.
