First we drive to Boudhanath Stupa, which is said to be the biggest in the world and a major center of Tibetan culture in Kathmandu. The stupa is designed to be like a giant mandala (a representation of the Buddhist cosmos).

Our next Place is Pashupatinath Temple. This shrine is devoted to Hindu deity Lord Shiva and is said to be the most holy Hindu shrine in Nepal. Hereabouts we see a cremation ritual of Hindus at ‘Aryaghat’, the cremation area of the temple. This cremation site is used for the once royal family of Nepal and also for the simple Nepalese people who live within the country. After visiting this place, we return back to our hotel, refresh, do some shopping for our trek the next day, checking our trekking gears, sorting our bag packs and then we have an early dinner and retire to bed, most probably.

While passing along the road on the bank of Trishuli River we catch a glimpse of Ganesh Himal, terraces and rolling green hills.

The Langtang Valley in Nepal is a popular destination for trekking enthusiasts, offering two exciting hikes to Tserko Ri and Kyanjin Ri, both of which provide stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Tserko Ri is the higher of the two hikes, standing at an altitude of 4,984 meters (16,350 feet). This hike is challenging but extremely rewarding, as it offers a panoramic view of the Langtang Valley and the snow-capped mountains surrounding it, including Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, and Shishapangma. The hike typically takes around 7-8 hours round trip and involves a steep climb through rocky terrain. Proper acclimatization is crucial for this hike, and it is recommended that you stay at Kyanjin Gompa for at least a day before attempting it.

Kyanjin Ri, on the other hand, is a shorter and less challenging hike, with an altitude of 4,350 meters (14,271 feet). This hike takes around 4-5 hours round trip and offers fantastic views of the Langtang Valley and the surrounding mountains, including Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and Langshisa Ri. Although the trail to Kyanjin Ri is less steep than Tserko Ri, it still requires proper acclimatization and a reasonable level of fitness.

Both hikes start from Kyanjin Gompa, a small settlement in the Langtang Valley, and provide an excellent opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Langtang region. The best time to embark on these hikes is during the autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) seasons when the weather is clear, and the skies are usually blue.

Indeed, both hikes to Tserko Ri and Kyanjin Ri offer breathtaking views of the Langtang Himalayas, with Tserko Ri being more challenging but offering a higher altitude and panoramic views, while Kyanjin Ri is a shorter and less challenging hike but still provides fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Proper preparation and acclimatization are essential for a safe and enjoyable trekking experience in the Langtang Valley.

Embark on a trek to Tserko Ri or Kyanjin Ri in the Langtang Valley with our expert Sherpa guide. They will assess your fitness level and help you choose the perfect hike for you, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. With their guidance, you'll be able to adjust to the high altitude and take in the stunning panoramic views of the mountains. Don't miss out on this adventure of a lifetime!

The trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel covers approximately 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) and takes around 6-7 hours to complete. The starting altitude at Kyanjin Gompa is 3,870 meters (12,697 feet), while the trek ends at Lama Hotel, which is at an altitude of 2,470 meters (8,103 feet).

To begin, you will retrace your steps back down the valley, descending through beautiful forests and crossing suspension bridges over the Langtang Khola river. You will pass through the charming villages of Langtang and Mundu before continuing your descent towards Lama Hotel.

The descent is mostly downhill, making it easier compared to the trek to Kyanjin Gompa. However, it is important to note that the steep descent can be hard on your knees, so it's essential to take it slow and be cautious while trekking.

Why Book your Langtang Valley Trek with Mountain Sherpa Trekking

1). Top-notch Sherpa Guides

Our whole guides & staff are 100% Local Sherpa people from the Everest region. As you know “Sherpa’s are highly regarded as elite mountaineers and experts in their local area. They were immeasurably valuable to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region, particularly for expeditions to climb Mount Everest”

We have extremely professional, reliable, and experienced climbing Sherpa’s working with us. We have four expert Sherpa guides for each group of ten trekkers on the trail in order to make sure all of our teams have the best chance at safe success in their goals. Since we will employ experienced Sherpa guides, they will take care of everything and will make your trip easy and wonderful.

2). Supporting Our Community

We believe that we all must give back to our society, as a responsible Sherpa Company, we know the importance of giving and supporting those in need. Hence, Mountain Sherpa Foundation has been established to help address the basic needs problems of the deprived people and low-income families of a remote part of Nepal. We work directly with the local communities to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We seek to help and to be helped to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods.

We continue to help the local community and have helped our Sherpa guides, porters, and staff. As things get worse for tourism workers amid covid-19 pandemic, Mountain Sherpa Trekking director Mr. Pasang Sherpa distributed relief packages to more than 450 Sherpa trekking guides, porters, and climbing guides on 25 May 2020, Similarly, He supported to Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) that has established a food bank for the tourism workers in Nepal during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Mountain Sherpa Trekking donates up to 15% of its annual revenue to Mountain Sherpa Foundation (MSF) Nepal’s projects, which cover regular maintenance of school buildings, Suitable-learning supplies for children in remote areas, providing necessary medical equipment to health posts of the lower part of Everest and so on.                       

3). Quality Run Journeys

Unlike most companies, the Mountain Sherpa Trekking guide will not control the food menu during your trek in Nepal, which means you can select any food from the lodge menu as per your taste. Our guides will provide you with enough meals on their trek as part of the trip price. A lot of times people are only given the same food each day for every meal, and we don’t do this. You are allowed to pick what you eat for each meal in all the lodges we stay in.

Our guides will make sure that you get good quality lodge accommodation & enough hygienic food during your treks and climbs in the Himalayas which is most important for a successful trip.

Ethical and Responsible Treatment of our Porters:

Most people would not be able to handle the challenges of these treks if it wasn’t for the porters helping with all the lifting, preparing and cheering. They are the backbone of our company and the reason why Pasang Sherpa created Mountain Sherpa Trekking & Expeditions, to begin with. He began in this industry as a porter and understands their needs better than anyone. We are dedicated and promise a better life to every member of our staff. This involves a better salary, providing all their gear including warm clothes, proper hiking shoes for high altitude treks, and lodging.

Drinking Water during Langtang Valley Trek

For many of us, the perfect choice may be to go for the mineral water. After all, it’s sealed and safe to drink, plus it provides an income for the local traders – right? Regrettably, things are never quite that simple. Mineral water produces a vast number of knock-on problems for mountain societies.

While it does provide an income to local people it also generates an extraordinary, heart-breaking amount of waste and spoiling. Most places simply do not have the resources to do anything with the empty plastic bottles – and they burn them, releasing toxic gases into the air, or leave them in piles just out of sight of travellers, where they take more than 450 years to decompose.

Take, for example, Langtang Valley Trek, The recommended amount of water intake on a high altitude trek like this is 3-4 litters a day. The trek is 7 days long. That’s more than approximately 21 litters and 21 plastic bottles, which won’t decompose until the year 2466 – per person.

For a full MST group of 12 people, just one trip will result in more than 252-300 mineral water bottles. And the salt in the wound is that plastic doesn’t decompose at high altitudes, so those 252 or more bottles will be up there forever. But what can you do? You have to drink, so how can you get around the problem?

The Alternatives: The great news is that there are really various options that will help you out of the bottled water trap. Here are just four of the best. All you have to do is pick which one is right for you.

Striped- Steripen is the most trusted model on the market. This technique uses exactly the same process as most mineral water undergoes before it is bottled. It’s UV filtering, exactly the same treatment as the majority of bottled water undergoes to be purified, but on the go. The technology has been around for much longer than you think, but it’s only recently been competitively priced enough to be on the market. SteriPen is an American company; other UV filters are also available.

Boiled water– This isn’t always an option if you’re out and about, but boiled water is an excellent option for safe drinking water on trek. Boiling the water kills any nastiness lurking there. It is the safest and most convenient option. Most lodges serve it, and it is great to ward off the cold. Prices range anywhere between NPR 50 and 120 per liters. 

Which means, the cost of drinking water will be around $30-$40 for 7 days langtang valley trek. Please note that 3-4 liters of fully boiled drinkable water will be provided daily during whole trek. you can book our all inclusive langtang valley trek package for safe and hassle free service. There are no hidden cost.

Purification tablets– Water refining tablets or chemicals like chlorine dioxide are other frequently used. They are easy to carry and cheap to buy. However, they are not as effective as UV filters or boiled water and need a few hours to act. Besides these, LifeStraw and iodine-based treatments are also available but have their drawbacks.

Packing List for langtang Trek

The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum. The packed weight of your kit bag while trekking should be no more than 15 KG/33Lbs. Please note that this gear list is only a guide.

The Nepalese are still traditional and conservative in the way they dress. Hence to avoid discomfiture on both sides we advise that you respect this and do not wear revealing clothing or sleeveless tops while visiting Nepal. Shorts are acceptable, but they should reach to just above the knee and be modest and for women it is better to wear trousers or a long skirt.

Additional info:

As you pack for langtang Valley Trek, remember that your gear will be separated into two packs: your daypack that you will carry each day as you trek, and your duffle bag which will be carried between tea houses by porters. All extra baggage (non- trekking items) can be store at the hotel before you start your trek. We provide you a free duffel bag in Kathmandu. You can use it to pack your essential trekking equipment. We provide one-porter services for two people. Porters will carry up to 20-25 kg of your personal items. This must include your sleeping bag and down jackets. Therefor your duffel bag should not weigh more than 12 kg/26.5 lbs.

INSIDE YOUR DAYPACKS:

Daypacks can be any size for hiking, but we always recommend the smaller, the better. Around the 25l to 30l size is good for EBC trek. You need to carry your own backpack (with waterproof cover) where you can carry your daily needed items in your own backpack. For instance: Water bottle, Extra money for drinks, souvenirs & tips, sunhat, camera, important documents, toiletries, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, rain gear, music (iPhone) etc.

If you don’t have your own down jacket & sleeping bag, don’t worry. We will provide you 4 season sleeping bags and good down jacket with a hood for complementary use. Good quality sleeping bag and down jacket are most important for high altitude trek.

KATHMANDU - SYABRUBESI (122 KM) = 7-8 HOURS DRIVE

While it's possible to reach Syabrubesi from Kathmandu by public bus, however, we strictly do not recommended you to travel by local bus because of the road condition.

Our guest safety and comfort will always be our utmost priority. Therefore, We always provide clean and fully sanitized 4WD Jeep for soti khola. It takes about 6 to 7 hours drive from Kathmandu to Soti Khola.

The driving distance is approximately 122 Kilometers form Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. You'll be much safer, be more comfortable, and reach your destination much faster by private Jeep with experience driver.

Altitude Sickness:

If you trek to a high altitude without letting your body adjust to the new elevation, you may experience altitude sickness. Symptoms include headache and nausea. If you return to a lower elevation, your symptoms will likely go away without needing treatment. In severe cases, altitude sickness can be life threatening.

When we hike above 8,000 to 12,000 feet above sea level our bodies need to acclimatize to the decreasing amount of the oxygen available. You may have symptoms if you travel to a high altitude without giving your body time to adjust to less oxygen. Even if you’re physically fit, you can still experience altitude sickness.

Mountain Sherpa Annapurna sanctuary trek itinerary is carefully designed to avoid from altitude sickness. Over the years we have come up with the best itinerary to aid in the acclimatization process. Our trek itinerary is fully flexible & can modify on the spot if required.

Remember the trek to Himalaya is not a race. Even those in the best shape will suffer from altitude sickness when they race to the top of the mountain too quickly. Go slowly, it will give your body time to adjust to the mountain. However, during the acclimatization process, you may experience some of the following symptoms.

  1. Tiredness
  2. Minor Headache
  3. Troubled sleep
  4. Loss of appetite/nausea
  5. Shortness of breath
  6. Cough
  7. Palpitation
  8. Swelling of the hands and face

Each Person acclimatizes at different rates. Our best suggestion is to take your time and drink plenty of water. These symptoms may not indicate the onset of A.M.S. and if you experience them it does not necessarily mean that you should not continue. All our Sherpa guides have extensive first aid training and we request you to talk with the Sherpa guide at all times should you believe you have any symptoms in order that we can efficiently monitor your symptoms. The only cure for Acute Mountain Sickness is to descend.

You must remember that this is your holiday and you do not want to stress out about the possibility of getting sick from the mountains. Do everything slowly. Drink lots of water. And enjoy the Himalayas views. If anything does happen and you unfortunately get sick, let your guide know right away –Please note that your guide has ultimate responsibility and may ask you to descend if symptoms persist.


Travel insurance:

Travel insurance is necessary for any trip, but is mainly important when undertaking activities such as high altitude trekking in remote regions where medical facilities or assistance may not be close at hand. You’ll enjoy your adventure better with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the right insurance cover in place should a mishap occur. This can be anything from medical emergencies, trip cancellation, trip interruption, delays, lost or stolen luggage to a full helicopter rescue off a mountain.

Obtaining travel insurance before you leave home is strongly recommended. This way, if something happens, and this is rare, you will not be out of pocket a tremendous amount of money. Mountain Sherpa trekking will provide a letter and your invoice to submit to your insurance in this case to help expedite your processing.
