Your arrival in Kathmandu will be marked by landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). A company representative of Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours will receive you and transfer you to your hotel. Evening you can meet the participants and the trek members. Overnight stay at a hotel in Kathmandu.
After your breakfast, you will take an early drive to Syabrubesi. It is the starting point of your trek. You will take a local bus or a private jeep from Kathmandu. The scenic drive will take about 6-7 hours. You will pass through many settlements and along with the ride you will see their drastic variation.
The scenery of vegetation and landscape also keeps changing. First, you will travel through plain lands with colorful vegetation. Then will come the narrow lanes surrounded by high green as well as barren hills. You also head into the deeper rural face of Nepal within these adventurous roads. Syabrubesi is a settlement with good hotels around having basic facilities.
Your trek to Langtang-Helambu via Gosainkunda officially begins today from Syabrubesi. This day is going to be hectic as you ascend the elevation of (1070m).
Your travel begins with crossing the mighty Trishuli River. You will cross suspension bridges many times. Then comes the plain paths through lush forest. You will pass through spots like Pahiro and Bamboo. Gradually, you will ascend barren uphill towards the Lama Hotel.
As you step forward, the pristine Langtang region opens up. You will observe the lifestyle and culture of locals influenced by Tibetans.
The settlements are scarce yet beautiful and rich in natural flora & fauna. Also, as you are within the Langtang National Park, you witness the breezing beauty around.
A delightful morning with re-energizing vibes of Langtang surrounds you. You will finish your breakfast and take a quick warm-up ascent. You can view the golden sunrise on your way. This is very special as you move through rhododendron forests that lead to Gunachok.

Within these trails, you will soak yourself into their Tamang culture.
Walking a few more hours, Langtang Valley comes into sight. Brace yourself into this exceptionally beautiful valley. You will feel an outstanding calm as you have crossed 980m of elevation today.
Leaving Langtang Valley, you walk forward to the ultimate Langtang destination; Kyanjing Gompa. Compared to other days, this day is shorter and will rise an ascent of 460 meters. You will begin the ascent after breakfast. This is crucial as the altitude is high. If you don’t take enough carbs & proteins, you might get AMS. So just remember to stay hydrated and take proper care of your body.
As you reach Kyanjing Gompa you will have enough time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Kyanjing Valley is a culturally rich village with significant settlements in the Langtang region. You can take a tour of the village. Also, you can visit the local cheese factory and try their famous delicacies. Overnight at Kyanjing Gompa will be another awesome night.
Walking and staying at such high altitudes is not an ideal thing. You have a high chance of getting Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS), which is too dangerous. Thus, to avoid AMS, acclimatization is a crucial key. This day at Kyanjing Gomba is fully to acclimatize and adapt to the altitude. Gomba is also an ideal stop. Right under the mountainous peaks, there are amazing destinations.
There are numerous monasteries with artistic paintings that are aged centuries-old and gumba itself holds significant histories. The culture and lifestyle of Kyanjin are fascinating aspects. Not only the exploration, but you will also soak into their stories and unique ethnicity. You will also get the close & perfect view of Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak, DorjeLakpa, and Kangchenpo.

This day is a long journey as you will walk many hours and make a descent of 1430 meters. Like before, the outstanding flora and fauna will amaze you. You can encounter wildlife like Himalayan Sheep (Naurs) and countless birds on the way. Overnight at Lama Hotel.
From today, you will head towards the routes on the other side of the Langtang Region. However, half of today’s trial will be of earlier days up to Pahiro. On your way to Thulo Syabru, you pass the settlements of Bamboo village ad Syabrubesi.
You will cross suspension bridges over the Trishuli. Gradually you will walk uphill full of stony stairs. The way is full of dark and dense forests full of oak, pine, and bamboo.
Within 6-7 hours, you will reach Thulo Syabru. It is a beautiful settlement of Langtang with rich Tamang culture and religion. The settlement has road access so you can expect good basic facilities. Here, you can also take a village tour and try delicious local cuisines.
Your day will start with majestic views of landscapes and surrounding green hills. You will finish your breakfast and start walking. You will ascend the forests full of colorful rhododendrons.

Gosaikund Lake has a black rock in the middle, said to be the head of Shiva. according to legend, Shiva created this high altitude lake when he pierced a glacier with his trident (Trishul) to obtain water to quench his thirst after consuming poison gathered from the churning of the oceans ( the poison is the reason why Shiva is depicted with a blue throat). There is a white rock under the water which is said to be the remnant of an ancient Shiva shrine.
You will witness the most beautiful sunrise from Gosaikunda. The 360-degree panorama of the high Himalayas touching the horizon looks simply incredible. The surroundings will be implicit and beautiful. But leaving good memories behind, you will head to the village of Ghopte.
we start early in the morning after breakfast. The trail climbs on a rocky trail marked with cairns towards the pass. Passing three more small lakes, the trail reaches Lauribina La (4610m). We spend some time exploring the surrounding hills for some fine views. It is the high part of this trek. Now, the trail descends down to Ghopte.
we start the trek at the normal time. The trail from Ghopte to Kutumsang is a lot up to and down the hill. When we reach Tharepati we can see the view of Dorje Lakpa, Shisha Panngma, and other peaks. From here, we hike through Magin Goth and then Kutumsang.

Physical Fitness:
Many people have questions as to what level of physical fitness is required for trekking in Nepal and that is extremely reliant on what activity the visitor is engaging in Nepal With that said, for a standard easy trek to Extreme hard level of trekking. The daily activity (trek) would be 5-6 hours,(depend on the trekking trail) and elevation will generally not exceed 5,600 meters like Everest Base Camp, Throng la passes, Chola passes treks and other passes or Base Camp but some of them are less than 4000m. The trekking day is involving both long steep climbs, and descents with a variety of terrain underfoot from well-trodden paths, to rocks covered with ice or snow, depending on the season. Mostly a day would include a number of climbs or descents of 600 meters more or less, starting after the early morning breakfast, resting at a lunch place in the afternoon, then continuous trekking until arriving at the teahouse.
In preparation for the trekking in Nepal, it is important, to begin with, the basic training requirement at least 2 months before departing for trekking in Nepal. Two to three hours of aerobic exercise like running, walking, swimming, cycling & some gym work per week is the minimum and most will find it beneficial to add some basic strength training to their physical fitness routine required for the hard trekking and for normal and easy trek just have some physical fitness is enough. One of the best ways to prepare is to take practice hikes with a daypack roughly the same weight as what you will be taking during the trek. Your calf should be enough fit and prepare for trekking. Mostly during the trekking calf pain or tiredness is the main issue. Do this only after a baseline of fitness has been reached. Moving fast is not our goal, will provide a more enjoyable and safe adventure trekking in Nepal for all easy and hard level.
Trekking Seasons in Nepal:
There are main two seasons in which Nepal where the most amount of visitors visit. (September, October & November) being the most popular season which is also called the peak season in Nepal, and spring (March, April & May) coming in close behind which is also called the mini-season in Nepal. The summer months of June, July, and August are the monsoon season and most of the time raining as such the trails are mostly washed out sometimes, and roads can sometimes be impassible due to landslide activates. Nevertheless, you can trek to rain-shadow regions like Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang during the monsoon seasons. Nepal is a suitable destination for all seasons.
Winter is very dry & extremely cold and all the high passes become inaccessible due to ice and snow conditions. The temperature doesn’t usually fluctuate during the day time temperature is around 20-25 degrees. However, you gain altitude the temperature decreases. The temperature can drop to around 0 to -25 degrees at night when staying at tented camps in Himalayan regions. Winter trek in higher altitudes is not advised due to the danger of avalanches and also altitude sickness. Although some may enjoy the sight of the snow-covered mountains as you reach your destination. However, the temperature does not change as much in lower mountain regions the nights are slightly colder than days’ time.
Autumn &Spring is the best timing for trekking in Nepal because the weather is generally warm and dry, and flowers are in bloom in the lower elevations of the country on the same time you can see the many festivals during that period.
Trekking Day:
A typical trekking day begins with the early morning breakfast around 7 am in the hotel. (Depend on the trekking region). It would advise you to pack your trekking gears in a duffle bag and essential supplies in your day pack after having breakfast; we begin the trek and head along the trail at around 8 am. The morning walk is more energetic to be longer as we begin with refreshed bodies and enthusiasm. A good morning’s walk, we make a stop for lunch at around 11-12 pm. The lunch involves group meals enjoying the vicinity around the stop & enjoys the organic & local food in the mountain. After resting for about an hour or two, we resume our trek to reach the teahouse or camp by 2-3 pm. The afternoon walk is relatively shorter and can involve games and side trips as organized by the trekking experienced guides. You also can enjoy breaks during the trek to relax, read, and stroll around the area, or doing yoga. You can explore with the local people and observe their lifestyle & culture. Dinner is served around 7-8 in the evening to round off the day.
Meals and Accommodations:
During the trekking period, the accommodation is commonly referred to as teahouses. These are family-run basic lodges that fill the role of the restaurant, Dining hall, and boarding house for tourists. Now a day’s electricity can be found in the rooms, which means one light bulb, and one or two outlets for charging electronics. The common areas are also lit by electricity. Alternatively, teahouses may also use solar, hydroelectric, or have electrical lines running into the village, so the commonality and availability of electricity may vary. Still, a few of the trekking route electricity service is not available. Use the local traditional kerosene light.
Most of the teahouses have private rooms, though if the trek is in a more remote or high altitude place there are limited teahouses so season time dormitories are the norm. Most of the room has 2 single beds with basic bedding, and the bathroom is shared. Some of the places we can get the private bathroom also with a mix of western and squat style toilets in the bathrooms.
Breakfast and dinner are taken at the same teahouses and these lodges have large family-style dining rooms centered on a stove or coal to provide heat basically in mountain areas. Most of the area’s menu will have Nepali-style western foods such as pancakes, pizza, burgers, fries, etc. Also on the menu is the traditional Nepali food Dal Bhat meal. This is a lentil soup with rice, vegetable, Pickle, or meat curry. Most menus will also offer a smattering of local cuisine.
Internal Flight Delays:
Nepal is an incredible and beautiful country of mixed of the White Mountains, deep valleys, Landscape, rivers, and green rolling hills. With this incredible diversity of landscapes, road travel can be extremely time-consuming and flights within Nepal to reach popular trekking destinations is the easiest way. Not all the trekking destination has flight service, so road transportation is the only option. Mountainous terrain also comes with the possibility of in-climate weather. It mentions the incredibly high number of visitors during peak seasons makes internal flight delays a genuine possibility. To manage this situation, it may be helpful to have a few extras days on either end of your tour. If any cancellations or flight delays do occur (high chances of flight delays from around Kathmandu to Lukla, Everest region, Pokhara to Jomsom, Annapurna region), we also provide services to arrange chopper on the last stage to help you to be on your schedule on the premises of Civil Aviation Rules in Nepal which state that helicopters can fly if the visibility is 1500m. The cost ranges from USD400 to USD650 according to the number of passengers. The payment can be made either to the helicopter company or to us directly and can be made either by cash or using a credit card. It will be beneficial to purchase and review your insurance, the insurance companies may cover some of the alternative measures of travel. Flight insurance may cover changing your international flight if it is necessary.
Travel Insurance:
Most expeditions, Adventurous trekking, and tours require that travel insurance and it is purchased prior to arriving in Nepal, but other normal treks and tours may not require. However, travel insurance is definitely an important consideration. There are a number of reasons to consider insurance. Firstly, it may be required, so check to see what is being asked for by the company. Second, Nepal is a landlocked country, and there are only a few direct flights. Travel in and out of the country can encounter some disruptions if purchasing insurance, make sure flight delays and cancellations also included. Always choose insurance that, though every safeguard is in place during your Holiday, there are always extenuating circumstances that may result in an accident during trekking & tours. Read carefully printout of insurance policies to ensure that the trekking or any other activity you are engaging in is covered or not, as some policies have stopped covering trekking in certain places. If you are going above 5000 m or high always mention the policies so it’s cover the chopper service in the last condition. It is very important that if you have the comfort of good insurance, so do the research and choose carefully which makes your trip relaxing and joyful.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS):
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is usually seen in un-acclimatized people shortly after ascent to high altitudes. The condition occurs due to the thinning of air as the altitude increases. The condition, if not taken seriously and treated immediately, can be life-threatening and its symptoms can be seen generally above 3200 meters. The symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, shortness of breath, and cerebral pain. The itineraries are designed to properly acclimatize you to the change in high altitude climate and sufficient precautionary measures too are taken to take utmost caution for our valuable guests. Our staff also equipped with cell phones and satellite phones (Option) in the occurrence of any emergency cases. We are greatly driven to keep the safety and security of our clients as our foremost concern.
Drinking-Water:
Water is essential for life, and clean water is imperative while on holiday. When visiting less developed countries like Nepal it is a concern that all travelers should consider. There are few options when trekking or traveling in Nepal that will mitigate any chances of drinking contaminated water. The first consideration to take into account is that tap water should not be ingested. That even means when brushing your teeth in an urban area. Most will choose to buy bottled water and if doing so make sure the cap has sealed properly. Plastic bottle reuse is a big problem, and with that being said there are other options on the market to assist in making water drinkable. Mountain spring water is drinkable but if you use the purified tablet. The conservation area project also sells this tablet for most of the trekking area. A guide will assist you to find out it also.

Some trekkers may opt for a shorter trek that focuses primarily on the Langtang region, while others may choose to extend the trek to include the Helambu region, which can add an additional 5 to 10 days to the trip. The actual length of the trek will also depend on factors such as the starting and ending points, the route taken, and the number of rest days incorporated into the itinerary.
The difficulty level of the Langtang Helambu Trek varies depending on factors such as the route taken, the altitude, and the individual trekker’s physical fitness and experience. However, in general, the Langtang Helambu Trek is considered a moderate to challenging trek, suitable for trekkers who have some prior experience and a good level of physical fitness. The trek involves some long and strenuous days of hiking, with ascents and descents over rough terrain at high altitude.
That being said, the trek is also very rewarding, offering stunning views of the Langtang and Helambu regions, as well as opportunities to experience the unique cultures and traditions of the local Tamang and Sherpa communities. With adequate preparation and a positive attitude, the Langtang Helambu Trek is a wonderful adventure that can be enjoyed by most people.

On average, a basic Langtang Helambu Trek can cost anywhere from $500 to $1500 or more, with prices tending to be higher during peak trekking seasons.
Keep in mind that the cost of the trek will also be influenced by your own personal preferences and travel style.

It is important to note that the Langtang region is at a high altitude and can experience unpredictable weather, so it’s always a good idea to be prepared for sudden changes in conditions, regardless of the time of year.
If you’re planning to trek in the monsoon season (June to August), it’s important to be aware that the trails can be slippery, and heavy rain can make the trek more difficult.
