Wake up early in the morning at your hotel and have your breakfast. Pack your bags and stay ready for a scenic drive to Dhunche. We will receive you at the hotel and head to the north out of the valley. Exiting the bustling Kathmandu city, we will drive through the Trishuli Highway. Soon, we will enter into lush and quiet countryside. On the way, you can see picturesque landscapes like thick forests, verdant hills, shimmering rivers, quaint villages, etc, passing by. We will drive past the major places like Kakani, Ranipauwa, Trishuli Bazaar, and Betrawati. Gradually, the road starts to become narrow and rugged, passing through the mountainous terrains. We will drive uphill over the steep, winding roads to reach Dhunche. We will stop for a night at this charming village.

We will begin trekking from Dhunche, which is also the headquarters of the Rasuwa district. Initially, we will descend down towards the Trishuli River to cross it and ascend gradually towards the local villages.

5-6 hours, 10-12 kilometers

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we will depart from the Thulo Syabru. We will descend gradually from the village towards the Langtang Khola (River). Following the narrow rocky trails beside the river for some time, we will cross it via a suspension bridge. Shortly after, we will reach a Bamboo village, where we will stop for lunch. Then, we will traverse the forested trails of rhododendron, oak, and maple. Ascending slowly through the well-marked trails, we will reach Lama Hotel, a small settlement of local people. We will settle in at a cozy teahouse accommodation in the Lama Hotel.

5-6 hours, 11-12 kilometers

After having breakfast at Lama Hotel, we will begin trekking towards Langtang village. We will follow the trails that wind through the lush forest of oak, rhododendron, fir, and maple trees.

Passing through streams, waterfalls, and meadows, we will start to see the mani walls, chortens, and prayer wheels, which mark our arrival at Langtang village.

In Langtang village, you can see Tibetan-styled houses with flat rooftops. You can observe the day-to-day life of the villagers, who are busy in agriculture, animal husbandry, trade, and tourism. You can also marvel at the stunning views of the Langtang range from this village.

After breakfast, we will leave the Langtang village and head towards Kyanjin Gompa. As you leave, you will walk past the Chortens and giant Mani Walls of the Langtang village. On the way towards Kyanjin Gompa, you will pass by serval small settlements and pasture lands. Then, you will cross a small stream and reach the Mundu village.

We will spend an overnight at a teahouse in Kyanjin Gompa.

Today, we will have a rest and acclimatization day in Kyanjin Gompa village. We will take a rest until lunch and then set out to explore the village. We will also take short acclimatization hikes to the nearby places.

Kaynjin Gompa (village) is the spiritual center of the Langtang region. We will visit the historical and holy Kyanjin Gompa (Monastery), from where the village got its name. After taking in the peaceful atmosphere of the monastery, we will stop at the local cheese factory and sample some fresh cheese. Then, we will hike to the high-altitude viewpoint of Tserko-Ri. After watching spectacular views of icefalls, glaciers, and the Himalayas from this vantage point, we will return to Kyanjin village and spend another night here.

4-5 hours, 6-8 kilometers

We will exit the Kyanjin Gompa following the captivating trails of the Langtang River crossing. Then, we will ascend through the forest of rhododendron and oak. As we head more towards Nyengang Kharka, the settlements start to get sparse, and so does the vegetation. We will ascend towards the alpine terrains for a while until we see the wide yak pastures. We will set up tent camps at the alpine pastures and stay overnight.

4-5 hours, 3-4 kilometers

With the close-up views of hills and mounatins, we will begin to ascend from Nyengang Kharka to Naya Kanga High Camp. The trails are rugged and steep as we climb towards Naya Kanga Base Camp/or Ganja La Phedi. Slowly, you will traverse the rocky boulders and glacier moraines. After navigating the breathtaking alpine landscapes, we will reach a nice flat rocky surface, where we will set up the high camps to spend the nights. At the high camp surroundings, you can rest and acclimatize, taking in the grandeur of the towering mountains.

Today, we will spend a day resting and acclimatizing at the Naya Kanga High Camp. Rest is essential to recover and replenish after a long, tiring journey. Likewise, acclimatization is necessary to adapt to the lower oxygen levels of higher altitudes.

You can explore the surrounding area of the high camp after having a leisurely lunch in the camp. Then, your guides will review all the gear and equipment for the next day’s climb of the Naya Kanga Peak. They will teach you about mountaineering equipment and climbing techniques. Like this, you can spend the second half of the high camp time preparing for the summit of Naya Kanga.

8-9 hours

Today, we will achieve the summit of Naya Kanga. We will wake up around 3 to 4 A.M. and have breakfast. The early start is to avoid the strong midday winds that could disrupt the adventure. The standard route to ascend the Naya Kanga Peak is via the northeastern ridge. We will take this route as we climb towards the peak’s summit.

Our guides will fix the ropes and ladders to ease your navigation. Finally, after 8-9 hours, we will reach the apex of Naya Kanga. From the top of Naya Kanga Peak, you can get the bird’s eye perspective of the colossal Himalayas glistening with pristine white snow. You will find yourself surrounded by countless glorifying mountains both from the Nepal and Tibetan sides. We will stay at the summit for some time enjoying the breathtaking views and taking snaps before returning back to the Nyengang Kharka.

5-6 hours, 10-11 kilometers

We will stay for a night in the Lama Hotel.

4-5 hours, 8-10 kilometers

After morning breakfast, we will leave the Lama Hotel and head towards the ending point of the trek, Syabrubesi. On the way, we will pass through the vibrant forest of bamboo and rhododendrons. We will also traverse the several small settlements of local Tamang and Sherpa. Descending gradually through the well-marked trails, we will finally reach the dense oxygen levels of lower altitudes of Syabrubesi. We will stay at a traditional teahouse of the village until we depart for Kathmandu tomorrow.

7-8 hours, 117 kilometers

We will enjoy a hearty breakfast at Syabrubesi and set off on a scenic overland drive towards the capital city. From the window of a vehicle, you can see the magical transformation of landscapes. Slowly, the narrow, meandering roads surrounded by lush greenery enter the wide-pitched roads between the towering buildings of the cities. Finally, after a long day’s drive, we will return back to Kathmandu. Our Naya Kanga Peak climbing journey concludes here. We will transfer you to your hotel where you can rest and relax for the rest of the time.
