Rondreis Nepal | Hiken & Yoga

Namaste and welcome in Nepal. We will welcome and greet you upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). Then transfer you to your hotel.

At the same day, a meeting will conduct together with a guide and yoga teacher. We will give you the last briefing for our trip and if you prefer, the yoga teacher will lead the first yoga session at your hotel.

We leave Kathmandu early for the seven-hour journey to the Langtang Valley. The road climbs high over ridges as it leaves the Kathmandu Valley and provides impressive views of the Annapurna Himalayas in the west, to Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and the peaks of the Langtang region ahead.

We drive through the bustling town of Trisuli before climbing towards Dunche and the Langtang National Park. After the village of Dunche, it is another hour downhill to Syabru Besi and your lodge for the night.

Today’s trail crosses the Bhote Kosi — meaning ‘Tibet River’ — which flows from nearby Tibet.

It then gradually climbs through sub-tropical forests to join the trail from Syabru Besi, then climbing through uninhabited oak and rhododendron forests.

Look out for langur monkeys in the trees. The path through the forest up to Lama Hotel becomes steep, but the reward is a comfortable bed in a cozy lodge in the small settlement.

The trail continues to climb through a forest, with occasional glimpses of Langtang Lirung between the trees. At Ghora Tabela (3,000 m. / 9,842 ft) the trail emerges from the forest and the mountains loom on either side of the valley.

Once there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepal Army post with no permanent inhabitants. The trail continues to climb gently, and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer. You will probably glimpse your first yak if you haven’t already.

The next part of the trail is a somber reminder of the 2015 earthquake. Where Langtang village once was, with numerous lodges, there is now only a huge rock field. Spare a thought for the Nepalis and tourists who lost their lives here, and remember that your journey here will help support the survivors.

Mundu is just half an hour’s walk further on. The old houses here are a reminder of what all the villages once looked like in this valley. Most of the lodges and homes in this area are now built in a more modern style.

From Mundu, the trail climbs gradually through yak pastures as the valley opens out further and the views become more extensive. After crossing several small streams and moraines, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyangjin. Here there is a small monastery and a government-operated cheese factory, which is a good place to stock up for lunch and afternoon snacks.

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. Or ascend Kyangjin Ri directly behind the village, for a breath-taking panorama of the Langtang peaks.

From Kyangjin retrace the route you followed up the valley, following the Langtang Khola to Mundu village and on to Ghora Tabela. The descent will certainly be faster than the ascent. After lunch, continue the steep descent to Lama Hotel.

Continue retracing your steps to Syabru Besi, enjoying the quiet forested hills. If you are feeling fit, take the spectacular route from Rimche via Sherpa Gaon to Syabru Besi; it will take much longer to reach the ultimate destination, but it’s a stunning detour.

The day is your last day of the excursion. After having breakfast and yoga, we drive back to Kathmandu.

Optional: Visit Orphanage school
You will visit the orphanage school in the north of Kathmandu. You can both learn and teach. It’s a charity school, founded by his holiness of Dolpo Buddha where the student came from the high Himalaya such as Humla, Mugu, Dolpo, and Mustang.

Today is the last day of your stay in Nepal. We hope you have enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back one day.

You will be transferred to the airport 3 hours earlier your scheduled flight to your home country.
