Walking through dense bamboo, birch, rhododendron and oak, forest, we come across Gumanchowk (Riverside) which is alongside Langtang River. The trail then ascends towards Ghora Tabela through Oaks, hemlocks and rhododendron forest perceiving the sparkling glimpse of Langtang Lirung (7,244m) through the woods. The journey from here now is straight for few minutes and then we gradually ascend through the small settlements Thangshyap, Champki, Gumba and eventually reach at Langtang Village where we take today’s shelter.
We have our delicate breakfast in the morning and then we leave the Langtang village climbing the ridge topped by Chorten and Mani walls. After crossing few streams, the trail gradually climbs to Kyanjin Gompa through several yak-herding villages: Mundu, Sindum and Yampha. The majestic Kyanjin Gompa seems stupendously enchanting encircled by tantalizing peaks: Langtang Lirung, Kyanjin Ri , Tserko Ri and Naya Kagri.
Being last human settlement of Yala Peak Climbing trek, Kyanjin is most preferred destination for acclimatization and exploration. The exquisite surrounding and few trekking peaks have made the village serene. Today, we visit the traditional Yak cheese factory and sacred Kyanjin Gompa for exploration. We also organize short hike to the top of the trekking peak Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri to boost up the confidence for day after tomorrow’s expedition. There are also many options of alternative side trips for us. We make your day at Kyanjin a very productive day.
After early morning breakfast, we begin our journey from Kyanjin Gompa to Yala Base Camp walking alongside the Langtang River. After walking for few hours, we ascend to Langshisha Pasture land and then finally climb the boulder trail to reach at Yala Peak Base Camp. At the Base Camp, our expert guides set tents and then we take rest for few hours. You will also be trained about peak climbing and how to use the gears.
Today is the final expedition day. We begin our expedition in the early morning and wrap up before afternoon. With our experienced guides, we ascend the steep snowy path and climb the summit. Enjoy the stupendous and dazzling vista of Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Shispangma, Gangchempo, Naya Kanga Peak, and few other peaks from the top of the summit. We spend time enjoying and capturing photos from the peak and then return back to Kyanji Gompa for shelter.
In the early morning, we will have our breakfast and then begin the return trek. The trail from Kyanjin Gompa descends along the Langtang River with the spectacular glimpse of snow-clad peaks. After few hours, we trail back to Langtang valley and the Ghora Tabela following the same route. From Ghora Tabela, we drop down to Gumanchowk and then descend easy path to Lama Hotel.
From Lama Hotel, we descend down to Bamboo through dense rhododendron, fir, pine and Oak forest. Again we drop down to Doman from Bamboo and head towards Syabrubesi through the traditional villages, terraced farmland and dense rhododendron forest. After 5-6 hours of decline walk, we reach at the most popular destination, Syabrubesi for night-stay.
After delicate breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu through the narrow ridges and dusty motor road, dense forest, rustic village and terraced farmland. The drive offers us an opportunity to enjoy the tranquil environment, green lush vegetation and scenic mountain ranges. After 7-8 hours of drive, we reach at Kathmandu in the afternoon. Today, you can enjoy the evening or night life in the capital or take rest as well as check luggage for tomorrow’s departure.
