Day 04: Trek to Ghorepani Poon Hill We will drive you from Pokhara to Nayapool and trek to Tikhedhunga along the ancient footpaths.
We will meet villagers and farmers who use these trails to get from their village homes to the nearest town. It will be rare to encounter other world travelers along this route. Each day provides the unique opportunity to meet and interact with the local people whose rich Hindu culture has been little touched by the modern world. The terrain includes rolling hills with some steeper sections. We share stories with local families and farmers as we visit their villages. It is not uncommon to be invited into a local home for tea. Trekking through the Himalaya with magnificent views, visiting sacred sites, and interacting genuinely with local villagers gives us a glimpse inside the traditional Nepalese way of life.

Day 14: Ghora Tabela to Langtang (3-4 ½ hours trekking)
Today we enjoy a day of hiking – gradually uphill to the Langtang Valley and the village of Langtang (11,480’). The trail zig-zags higher and higher while offering exciting views of the Langtang peaks that await us. As we climb into the broad valley, we pass old many walls and Goths, temporary shelters for herders. No more than 10km from the border of Tibet, Langtang village itself is a community of stone houses, walled fields of buckwheat and potatoes, and an old gompa with its resident lamas. The people who make Langtang their home are the Tamangs and the Sherpa who, for several hundred years, have Crossed from Tibet to live in the high reaches of the Himalayas. We overnight in a local teahouse.

Day 15: Lang tang Valley (4-5 hours trekking)
Today we celebrate the high mountain beauty that surrounds us – peaks upon peaks of snow-capped Himalayan giants surround the upper Langtang Valley.
After breakfast, enjoy a delightful morning Trek from Langtang to Kyangjin (12,300’). With porters carrying our gear, we wander up and through ruggedly wild and exceedingly beautiful country offering fine mountain scenery; we can see ice-fluted Gangchempo (21,000’) that dominates the eastern landscape. Mean while we pass through icy streams and glacial pools, aside from long mani walls and stone chortens draped in colorful prayer flags, our hike is entirely through the open valley until we reach a Vista at a rise above Kyangjin Gompa. From here the mountain views become even more spectacular with Langtang Lirung (23,700’) being the most dramatic. Overnight in a local Tea house.

Day 16: Today, there are several hiking options: Minor peaks (such as Kyangjin Ri) offer enormous views; the Lirung Cirque of hanging glaciers and the Langtang Lirung base camp are beautiful treks, or the up-valley walk toward Nubamtang (13,123’) with its spectacular mountain views. Above Kyangjin, we follow the Langtang Khola (river) on an easy path that passes yak herder settlements and pastures and cuts across rocky moraines and glacial streams. The walks here in the upper valley are magnificent! Overnight in a local teahouse.

Day 17: Today we bid farewell to the grand high mountain country of Langtang and board our helicopter for a morning flight from Kyangjin to Kathmandu. Transfer to our hotel and enjoy a free afternoon for rest or city exploration. Overnight: Kathmandu lodging.
