Drive from Kathmandu through Trishuli and Dhunche to Syabrubesi, at 1,460 m, a journey of 7 to 8 hours on a winding road that climbs through terraced hills and forest. The road can be rough, and landslides sometimes close it in the monsoon. Syabrubesi is a lively village at the junction of the Langtang Khola and the Bhote Koshi, with lodges, shops and a permit checkpoint. Check your permits here and repack your bag for the trail. Eat a good meal and rest; tomorrow is a long walk. Ask your lodge about the trail ahead.

This route drives to Syabrubesi on day 1 and finishes there on day 7. On 26 August 2026 a large rock-and-ice collapse from the north face of Langtang Lirung sent a debris flow down the Lhende Khola into the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, hitting Rasuwagadhi, Timure, Syabrubesi and Betrawati (ICIMOD). Many bridges and long stretches of the Pasang Lhamu Highway were damaged, and a large number of people died or are missing; reported figures differ by source.
Syabrubesi, the usual Langtang road-head, is reported destroyed or closed as a trekking gateway, with the bridge to it swept away; restoration depends on the Betrawati highway reopening. The Trishuli Bazaar-Betrawati-Dhunche road was reported still closed for repair as of 21 September. A light-vehicle track has reopened, and agencies projected the remaining gaps passable no earlier than mid-October; that is a projection, not an official date.
The upper valley (Lama Hotel, Langtang Village, Kyanjin Gompa) and the main trail were reported not destroyed, but current trail conditions are not confirmed. A reported alternative is to drive to Dhunche and walk via Thulo Syabru to Lama Hotel and Langtang. On 16 October local residents reported repairing the landslide-damaged trail sections above Paljor and below Rimiche. ICIMOD warns that loose debris in the valley can be remobilised by monsoon rain.
We found no official reopening notice. Check current road and trail conditions with Langtang National Park and your trekking agency before booking, and do not rely on this summary alone.

Musim terbaik: Mar–May, Oct–Nov · Izin: Langtang National Park entry permit, TIMS card where required
The Langtang Valley trek climbs the Langtang Khola from Syabrubesi to Kyanjin Gompa at 3,870 m, in Langtang National Park, passing through rhododendron forest, Tamang villages and yak pastures with Langtang Lirung (about 7,230 m) looming at the head of the valley. This eight-day plan drives from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, walks to Lama Hotel and Langtang village, reaches Kyanjin Gompa in three days, spends a rest day with a hike up Kyanjin Ri (usually quoted at 4,773 m), and returns in two days to Syabrubesi before the drive back. It is a moderate trek with lodges in every village, no flights and a gradual ascent that suits first-time high-altitude trekkers, provided they respect the altitude at Kyanjin. It suits fit beginners who want a first high-altitude trek close to Kathmandu, with a rest day at Kyanjin Gompa to adjust to the height.
What the trek is like
The trail follows the river upstream for the first day through dense forest with langur monkeys and, if you are lucky, red pandas. At Ghoratabela the valley opens, and at Langtang village the landscape turns to Tibetan-style stone houses, chortens and mani walls. Beyond Mundu and Singdum the valley widens into moraine and yak pasture, with Langtang Lirung, Kimshung and Gangchempo (Fluted Peak) visible. The old village of Langtang was destroyed by an avalanche in 2015, and the present village was rebuilt nearby; a memorial marks the site. Kyanjin Gompa is a small settlement with a monastery, a cheese factory and several lodges.
Highlights
- Rhododendron and bamboo forest between Syabrubesi and Lama Hotel
- Langtang village and its mani walls, rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake
- Kyanjin Gompa and the yak cheese factory
- Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m) for a wide view of Langtang Lirung and Gangchempo
- Optional Tserko Ri (about 4,984 m) for an extra day
Permits and rules
You need a Langtang National Park entry permit and a TIMS card where required. The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and 2026 operator reports say checkpoints enforce it in Annapurna (ACAP), Langtang (the strictest) and most other parks, but not in Khumbu, where the municipality opted out (checked 19 October 2026). See the guide rule by region. Check current fees with the issuing offices.
Best season
October and November are clearest, and March to May is also good with rhododendron blooms. The monsoon brings leeches, landslides on the Trishuli road and cloud. Winter is cold and the upper valley can hold deep snow.
Altitude and pacing
You climb from 1,460 m at Syabrubesi to 3,870 m at Kyanjin in three days, and the gain is quick. The rest day at Kyanjin is not optional. Walk up Kyanjin Ri at your own pace, and descend if you get a headache or nausea. The return is much faster: you walk from Kyanjin to Lama Hotel in one day.
Getting there and away
The Syabrubesi drive takes 7 to 8 hours by jeep. The road is rough and often affected by landslides during the monsoon. Book a day with spare time.
Lodges, food and costs
Lodges are simple and have stoves in the dining rooms. Kyanjin Gompa has a cheese factory where you can taste yak cheese, and several lodges serve baked goods. Prices rise gently with altitude. Carry cash, because there are no machines on the trail.
Packing list
Waterproof boots, warm layers, down jacket, hat and gloves, a sleeping bag rated to about -10 C, trekking poles, headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit.
Who this trek suits and how to prepare
The trek suits fit beginners who have done a few long hikes and want a first Himalayan trek without a flight. Prepare with hill walks and stair climbing, and practise with a loaded daypack. The ascent is gradual, so the main training goal is steady endurance. Pack warm clothes for Kyanjin Gompa, where nights are freezing.
The plan at a glance
Day 1 drives to Syabrubesi (1,460 m), and day 2 walks to Lama Hotel (2,470 m). Day 3 reaches Langtang village (3,430 m), and day 4 climbs to Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m). Day 5 is a rest day with Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m). Day 6 returns to Lama Hotel, day 7 to Syabrubesi, and day 8 drives to Kathmandu.
Extensions
From Kyanjin Gompa you can walk to Tserko Ri (about 4,984 m) for a longer day, or continue up the valley toward Langshisha Kharka for two or three more days. Another option is to combine the valley with the Tamang Heritage Trail or Gosaikunda at the end of the trek.
Practical tips from the trail
- Check the road conditions before leaving Kathmandu, because landslides can delay the drive.
- Take the rest day at Kyanjin: it helps with acclimatisation and gives time for Kyanjin Ri.
- Try the yak cheese and fresh bread at Kyanjin Gompa.
- Carry cash for the whole trek, because there are no machines.
- Respect the memorial at the old Langtang village site.
Responsible trekking
Carry out your waste, use refill stations where available and buy from local lodges. Do not feed animals, and keep a respectful distance from the memorial and village houses.
Food and lodging
Lodges in the valley serve dal bhat, noodles, momos, fried rice, soup, bread and apple pie, and Kyanjin Gompa is famous for its yak cheese. Rooms are simple, with blankets, and dining rooms have a stove. A few lodges have hot showers, and charging costs extra. Meals are cheaper if you sleep in the same lodge. Higher up, menus become shorter and prices rise.
Photography tips
Dawn at Kyanjin Ri gives the best light on Langtang Lirung and Gangchempo. Mid-morning, clouds often fill the valley. Take wide-angle shots of the valley from above Langtang village, and portraits of local life only with permission. Keep spare batteries warm in an inner pocket, because the cold drains them quickly.

Cross the river on a suspension bridge and follow the trail upstream through oak, rhododendron and bamboo forest, past Bamboo and Rimche, climbing steadily. The path is shaded and damp, with waterfalls, langur monkeys and in spring a lot of flowers. Lama Hotel, at 2,470 m, is a small settlement of lodges in the forest, with a riverside setting. It is a long day of about six hours, and the trail climbs steadily. If you are lucky, you might spot a red panda in the forest early in the morning. Rest and eat well.
Anda tidur 960 m lebih tinggi dari malam sebelumnya, di atas pedoman umum 500 m. Berjalanlah perlahan, minum banyak air, dan waspadai sakit kepala atau mual.
Climb out of the forest to Ghoratabela, where the valley opens, and continue up the glacial valley with views of Langtang Lirung ahead. The trail follows a flat, open valley floor through Thangshyap and Mundu to Langtang village, at 3,430 m, a rebuilt Tamang village with stone houses and mani walls. The 2015 earthquake avalanche destroyed the original village a short distance away, and a memorial now marks the site. Take some time to visit the memorial and stay respectful. It is a long day of six hours, so drink water.
A short day, to keep acclimatisation sensible. Walk up the valley through Mundu and Singdum, passing chortens and mani walls, to Kyanjin Gompa, at 3,870 m. The valley opens into yak pastures with Langtang Lirung, Kimshung, Gangchempo and Naya Kanga on all sides. Kyanjin Gompa has a small monastery, a cheese factory and several lodges. In the afternoon, visit the cheese factory and stroll to the moraine edge to look at the glacier. Drink plenty of water, and be alert to any signs of altitude sickness.
A rest day at Kyanjin Gompa, with an early hike up Kyanjin Ri, a steep ridge that rises to 4,773 m in about two to three hours. From the top, the view takes in Langtang Lirung, Gangchempo and the glacier. Return to Kyanjin for breakfast and a rest. If you feel strong, you could walk to the glacier moraine in the afternoon; otherwise, relax in the village. Tserko Ri, at about 4,984 m, is a harder alternative. Do not push if you have a headache; the point of the day is to acclimatise.
Descend from Kyanjin Gompa along the valley, past Langtang village and Mundu, and drop through Ghoratabela to Lama Hotel at 2,470 m. The descent is fast, and the thicker air helps you sleep better. The walk takes about six hours, and the path is mostly downhill with a few short climbs. Take time to enjoy the forest in the afternoon light, and watch for langurs. Lama Hotel's lodges are simple, and the sound of the river is soothing. Pack your bag for tomorrow's walk, and enjoy the dinner.
Follow the Langtang Khola downstream through forest and along the riverbank to Syabrubesi, at 1,460 m, a walk of about five hours with a gentle descent. In the lower valley you will see more people and more fields, and the air warms quickly. At Syabrubesi, you can wash, rest and buy snacks before the drive tomorrow. Pay your guide and porters, and have a farewell dinner. If the road is affected by landslides, ask about conditions for the drive. The lodges are simple, and the river is loud.
Drive from Syabrubesi to Kathmandu via Dhunche and Trishuli, a journey of 7 to 8 hours. Start early to avoid the afternoon traffic and any delays due to landslides or roadworks. The road follows the Trishuli river and drops through terraces and forest. Arrive in the capital in the late afternoon. In Kathmandu, shower, repack and reflect on the trek. If you have time, visit Boudhanath or Pashupatinath. Do not schedule an international flight for the same evening, because the road can be slow or blocked.

Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Moderate. Days are five to six hours, the climb is gradual, and the main risk is altitude at Kyanjin Gompa.
Eight days from Kathmandu on this plan, including a rest day at Kyanjin Gompa.
Kyanjin Ri is usually quoted at 4,773 m, though OpenStreetMap shows about 4,600 m for the summit, so treat it as roughly 4,600 to 4,800 m. Kyanjin Gompa is at about 3,870 m.
The valley has been rebuilt and the trail is open. Check road and trail conditions before you go, particularly in the monsoon.
October to November, and March to May.
A licensed guide is required in practice: the Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule is enforced at checkpoints in Annapurna and Langtang and most parks (2026 operator reports, checked 19 October 2026). A guide is a sensible choice, particularly outside the main seasons.
