Today, in the morning, we will drive you to Syabrubesi from Kathmandu (157km). It will take approx. 9 hours to reach Syabrubesi via Dhunche. Today’s drive is going to be quite pleasant and scenic. We will be stopping for our picnic lunch at Trishulibazar, the district headquarter of Nuwakot.

After having breakfast, we will continue our trip to our next destination to Langtang. After the 5-6 hours of trekking, we will reach at the large settlement of Langtang.

Now, we trek ahead crossing through the suspension bridge and heading precipitously along a stream. The river we are following is mostly the Langtang River and we will enjoy the walk going through the beautiful forest of rhododendron, oaks and bamboos until we reach at Bamboo for our lunch. After lunch, our trek takes us through the forest to Lama Hotel (2480m) finally. 

You pass through the tiny village and stone-built houses. Toda is going to be a short walk allowing us to acclimatize and explore the surrounding. Don't forget that this place is famous for cheese and curd.

Kyanjin Ri and Tserko Ri are the good viewpoints in the area that you can climb. After the breakfast, we will visit Tserko Ri for spectacular view of the Langtang Lirung, Langtang Range, Kinshung, Yansa Tsenji and the foot of the huge Lirung glacier.

Today, you will take the broad trail climbing up to Dimsa village and the trail continues less steeply through rhododendron forests to Shin Gompa. It’s another popular place for Yak Cheese.

The trail ascends smoothly through rhododendron forests to the top of the rim. The area in between Shin Gompa and Laurebinayak is a sanctuary for the Red Panda. Then, we return to the ridge path and finally arrive at Gosainkunda Lake.

Today is a bit challenging day because the trail is to climb and cross moraines. And passing through more small lakes, the trek will ascend and cross Laurebina La after the pass. Finally, you will reach at Gopte.
