  • Day 2: Free Day in Kathmandu

    Free Day in Kathmandu Free day to relax and explore Kathmandu.

  • Day 3 : Drive to Dhunche

    Drive to Dhunche About 30 minutes out of Kathmandu, you pass through the town of Kakani; you can get great views of the Ganesh Himal. Further down you stop at Trisuli Bazaar. It is a busy bazaar in this area. Drive further to Dhunche (1970m). At his point you get an excellent views of Gheng (6581m) and LangtangLirung (7246m) to the north and Ganesh (7460m) to the west. The drive descends towards Trisuli River and to Thulo Bharkhu than steep up to ridge through the pine woods. From here you have fine views up the valley towards the Tibetan border - about 20km away. The trail out of Bharkhu climbs a steep slope to the top of a ridge (2300m) where there is a good area to take a break; it is good place for bird watching. At this point you have entered the Langtang Valley; you can see view of Ganesh Himal to the west, Tibet to the north, and Langtang Lirung in the east. You can also see on a ridge top below you the lovely village of Syabru (Thulo). The trail contours around the ridge at first before descending a short steep slope into Syabru (2134m).

  • Day 4: Ghoretabela (3048m)

    Ghoretabela (3048m) Start to walk through the cool forests of oak and maple that cover the lower sections of the valley and climbs through massive stands of spruce, fir and blue pine. Towering walls close in and your paths will skirt precipitous drops, which fall into a silt-laden river below. It is a classic transition from temperate lowland forest to high-altitude Himalayan valley. Descend through the village of Syabru and continue down the ridge until you come to a trail to the east that drops sharply off the ridge and through a dense forest. Cross a bridge (1960m) over a tributary of the LangtangKhola and then climb for a short distance. The trail continues level for a ways before descending, still in forest, to the Langtang Khola. The trail follows the south bank of the river through a deep gorge with no views of the mountains, crossing another tributary in about an hour. In another hour from this tributary, cross yet another bridge (2050m) to the north bank of the Langtang Khola. The trail begins climbing up from the river at this point and in an hour, shortly after the trail levels off, you join the old Langtang trail (2380m) from Sherpagaon and Syabrubensi. Another hour from this trail junction brings you to the Lama Hotel in the tiny village of Chongong (2400m). From the Lama Hotel the trail climbs steadily to GhoraTabela (3048m) with glimpses of Langtang Lirung (7246m) through the trees. At times the trail becomes very steep but only for short distances. Gradually the air becomes thinner and the climate colder. At Ghora Tabela the trail leaves the forest and a spectacular view of Langtang Lirung appears. GhoraTabela was once a Tibetan resettlement camp but is now an army post.

  • Day 5: Langtang (3506m)

    Langtang (3506m) Continue up the valley, leaving the forests behind, the trail ascends steadily up to Langtang village, passing below a monastery about 30 min beforehand. Langtang is an interesting Tibetan-style village with stone walls enclosing houses and fields where you just might see your first yaks. The Langtang National Park headquarters is located here. After Langtang you can see a community of typical flat-roofed Tibetan houses and the valley flattens and broadens into open pasture. This is perfect for raising yaks, and you will see these imposing beasts everywhere. 6 hour walk

  • Day 6: Kyanjin Gompa (3811m)

    Kyanjin Gompa (3811m) The valley is U-shaped, it was carved by a glacier. Below Langtang, the valley has the characteristic V-shape of a river-carved valley. Leaving Langtang, you ascend gradually to a chorten (a small Tibetan Buddhist stupa) behind which is a very long mani wall. The trail passes two small villages and the village widens. You cross several streams and a moraine before arriving at Kyanjin Gompa (3800m). Between Langtang and Kyanjin Gompa, the views just get better and better where you will see Yansa Tsenji (6580m) and Kimshun (6750m) to the north and the Langtang Himal to the northwest. Take a good rest and allow your body to acclimatize with the high altitude as much as possible to be fully-prepared for more ascending during the next day. 4 hour walk

  • Day 7: Langshisha Kharka (4125m)

    Langshisha Kharka (4125m) Trek further up the valley provides more spectacular views of Langtang Lirung (7246m), Ganchenpo (6400m), Langshisa Ri (6320m), Dorje Lakpa (6700m), Lenpo Gang (7100m), and Urkinmang (6170m). About 4 hour walk to the east of Kyanjin Gompa from the village is 5000m Tsergo Ri. If you are well acclimatized and physically fit start early in the morning. You should be able to climb this peak and return to Kyanjin Gompa same day. The reward for climbing to the summit is a magnificent view of the 7246m Langtang Lirung, the mountain that dominates the valley.

  • Day 8: Lama Hotel (2480m)

    Lama Hotel (2480m) You are acclimatized already so descending would not be problem. You should be able to reach the Lama Hotel in about 6 hour walk from Kyanjin Gompa.

  • Day 9: Syabru (3906m)

    Syabru (3906m) It takes from Lama Hotel to Syabru about 6 hours descending walk. Keep retracing your steps.

  • Day 10: Sing Gompa (3254m)

    Sing Gompa (3254m) Leaving Syabru, climb past the gompa, school and army post, and switchback up the steep hill above the village. There are a few houses pleasant teashops in the settlement of Dursagang at 2550m. The trail continues less steeply, now mostly in forests, past an old chorten to the top of the ridge and tea shops at 3000m. After the forest, the trail climbs up a bit more before reaching the top of the ridge. There is a view of Dhunche far below in the valley. The trail continues across the head of a second valley then reaches a final ridge at 3260m. The small Buddhist monastery of Sing Gompa is about 100m along the trail to the left. This is the main attraction at Chandan Bari (3250m). It is important to stay overnight at this point before crossing a 4610m pass.

  • Day 11: Cross pass to Gosaikunda (4309m)

    Cross pass to Gosaikunda (4309m) From Sing Gompa the trail continues climbing steadily through rhododendron forest. The trail crosses over to the Langtang side of the ridge you are climbing and stays in deep forest for a while then emerges onto a saddle at Cholang Pati (3380m). There are good views of Langtang Lirung from the north side of the ridge, and looking west, you can see the Ganesh Himal, Himalchuli, and Manaslu. It is possible to see Tibet from here. You cross high altitude summer pastures for sheep and goats. Crossing to the south side of the ridge the trail becomes narrower; the first glimpse of Gosainkund lakes is seen from here. After crossing a spur, the second lake in the chain, Bhairav Kund, comes into view. The trail climbs gently but continuously to a ridge and drops about 20 meter to the third and largest lake, the holy Gosainkund, at an elevation of 4380m. Hundreds of people come here to worship and bathe in this lake during the full moon festival each year in August. At Gosainkund killing of animals, lighting of wood fires, and grazing of goats is prohibited.

  • Day 12: Gopte (3430m)

    Gopte (3430m) The trail climbs to the shore of the lake before ascending towards the Laurebina Pass (4610m). Continue trekking you would see four other lakes of smaller scales. After the pass at 4610 meter the trail descends steeply at first and then becomes more gradual to the southeast on a rocky path. In about an hour you get to see some roofless stone herders’ huts, and from here the trail descends to another ridge, crosses several streams and passing two waterfalls. After passing another stone hut the trail climbs to another ridge to reach Ghopte (3430m).

  • Day 13: Melamchi Gaon (2560m)

Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:

The bucket list company do exactly that, offer bucket list trips. Just come back from climbing kilimanjaro with them, Keith was there the whole way through to guide and advise us, he used exceptional porters and guides on the mountain to make our experience just that “bucket list” can’t fault them

Great company to book with, easy payment options, clear communication, and responds quickly to any enquiries. Have booked with The Bucket List Company twice now. Looking forward to my next trip in 2024 to K2 Base Camp. They arrange everything about your trip, you simply have to pay & go! They make it affordable for every budget. Highly recommend.

TBLC’s customer service; passionate team; mixed age groups; expert planning; networks of highly knowledgeable local tour guides and local chefs, combine for amazing experiences! We have enjoyed two great adventures with TBLC (including successful summits of Kilimanjaro, in 2019, and Mt Toubkal, in April 2023) and look forward to booking the next. I highly recommend TBLC to anyone considering an altitude challenge. I would also strongly recommend TBLC’s four day Toubkal trek over a two day trek (as offered by other companies). The extra two days mean you have chance to bond more with your group ahead of the summit night, as well as getting to spend more time walking in the stunning Atlas Mountains. The traditional Moroccan food served throughout this trip is another real selling point! – Eleanor May 2023

The Bucket list company are an amazing find for solo adventure’s,I’ve been on three trips so far and have just booked another, If you fancy climbing Kilimanjaro or trekking though the Andes mountains or visiting the Treasury at Petra have a look at the bucket list company I would highly recommend them, The itinerary of all the trips has been well thought out from start to finish, The main thing that attracted me to use the bucket list company in the first place was having a uk guide go on the adventure with you..
