We are on the way to pick you up by private transportation and take you to the following historical places that come under the UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are iconic.
Boudhanath Stupa
When it comes to visiting one of the oldest Buddhist Stupas in the world, then there is nothing better than Boudhanath Stupa because it is irreplaceable; it has a value that is immeasurable, and it exhibits traditions, artifacts, and the influence of Buddhism.
Pashupatinath
The importance of Pashupatinath cannot be underestimated because it comes under two heads: the oldest and the most important. For the Hindus, it holds the highest position, and they look upon it as the head of Lord Shiva. When the head is in Nepal, Nepal becomes the Mecca for the Hindus.
Kathmandu Durbar Square
It is a palace, and it has seen different phases of time in Nepal. Both the Shah and the Malla kings ruled Nepal from here, using their full-fledged power. The courtyard reminds you of the subsequent events, which are written in the history books of Nepal.
Today, it is time to know the road infrastructure of Nepal. Since the past, this road has been taking the trekkers coming from different parts of the world from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, and it has been unveiling to them the natural beauties of Nepal like green hills, white river, and traditional villages. With the passage of time, what you see is an amalgamation of tradition and modernity. The road takes you to Dhunche and Syabrubesi, showcasing most of the time, parallel view of the Ganesh Himal.
As you are heading to your desired destination, you are at an advantage because where you will walk are the insights of today’s highlights, and they are inclusive of the Langtang River and the Bhote Kosi River. Sometimes, the trekking lets you submerge the part of your leg on the bank of this river. You are at a safe hand of a guide, and on the way, you come across Bamboo and Rimche, both of these are old villages, and the trekking trail is beautified by waterfalls, descending from a massive height.
What you see today is a classical view of Lantang Lirung, the highest peak in the Langtang Region. You feel deep gratitude in your heart as you see its dominance here. Following the century-old ongoing trekking trail, you will reach Horse Farming, which is called Ghoda Tabela in the native Nepali language. Ahead trekking trail takes you to Langtang village.
Today, you are trekking in one of the scenic places of the Langtang Region, and this journey holds the utmost position in the life of a trekker. Water bodies are always there because you know Nepal is a source of some of the greatest rivers of India. You cross them by steel suspension bridges, and the trekking trail is penetrated by the symbols of Buddhism like man walls and Chortens.
This place has many and varied bakeries and guesthouses. It is also an excellent viewpoint to swallow the beauties of the mountains. Visit Kyanjin Gumba, which is a monastery, and which exhibits beautiful artifacts.
Retrace the trekking trail characterized by natural beauties that are created by God for the people whose life centers only on technology in urban areas. Soak up the beauties of rural.
Once again retrace the trekking trail to Rimche and Bamboo, and from the latter, walk to Thulo Syabru by walking through its cross-section like river and suspension bridges, which also has villages and eye-catching waterfalls. The selection and inclusion of this itinerary are to expand normal Langtang Valley Trek’s itinerary.
You are heading to a higher altitude, that is, 4000 m plus, that is Gosaikunda, and let us do acclimatization walking up to Shin Gumba. The trekking trails are injected with Chortens and exhibit the symbols of Buddhism. There is also a place of significance like a check post, walk further to spend a night in Shin Gumba.
You are accompanied by the mountains like Annapurnas, Hiunchuli, Manaslu, Ganesh, and Langtang, which will bind your trekking spirit. You are in one of the most coveted places of the Hindus, that is, Gosaikunda Lake, and it is circled by mountains. It is really difficult to be detached from such a magnificent scene.
There is no denying the fact that Gosaikunda is a place of religious significance to the Hindus, nor can you deny inspiring uphill walk to the top of the Laurebinayak Pass, which has always been rewarding, in terms of view to the passionate trekkers, who want to immerse in the beauty of mountains continuously. Walk easy downhill to reach the most sought destination today, that is, Ghopte.
We continue our trek in the early morning and traverse up and downward forest trails until reaching Thadepati village. From here we climb the ridge that leads above the village and awards us with spectacular views of the Soli Danda and the Nepalese hills. We ascend to Mangen Danda take some rest and hike-up to Mangengoth. We will pass Kyuola Bhanjyang (3280m) and head to our today destination Kutumsang. On the way we will pass through the village, enjoy the snow-capped mountains, rivers and streams. Overnight stay at Kutumsang.
After having our breakfast, today we will walk around 5-6 hours to reach Chisapani. It’s a beautiful village. Before we reach Chisapani we need to pass- Golphu Bhanjyang, Thankune Bhanjyang and Pati Bhanjyang. Overnight stay at Chisapani.

FAQs
TMG does not expect previous trekking experience from you; however, all the treks that it organizes are physically demanding. It recommends starting an exercise prior to your trek date. Many of its trips are at higher altitudes, the minimum is 2,000m, and the max is 5,000m plus.
The treks in Nepal are suitable for a wide spectrum of experience and physical fitness. If you can walk uphill for a few hours each day, then you can find a suitable trek in Nepal. A longer trek, crossing high passes and into remote regions demands a higher degree of endurance.

Please read up extensively on Altitude sickness. Be familiar with the symptoms and do not ignore them. Be sure to keep to a conservative ascent schedule and drink plenty of fluids. From the first realization of headaches or stomach cramps notify your guide directly and return to a lower altitude. Carry some Diamox (acetazolamide) pills, easily found in pharmacies in Nepal. But note that Diamox is not an immediate fix for acute mountain sickness; it speeds up part of the acclimatization process which in turn helps to relieve symptoms. It may take a day or two. Don’t take acute mountain sickness lightly and even on mild experiences descend to a lower altitude. Encountering serious sickness, high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) symptoms, or high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) you MUST descent with at least one other trekker (or your guide). Consulting the pharmacist where you purchase Diamox is strongly advised. One major thing to remember is that body requires large amounts of water at altitude to counteract sickness so be sure to drink more than you are used to!
In Kathmandu, you are going to stay at the tourist standard hotel (3-star hotel) on a twin-sharing basis. A few of the common accommodation options while trekking in Nepal are Tea Houses (Lodges) which can be found at various points on the trek. They offer double or dorm room accommodation and simple basic meals reflective of what the local people in the area eat. Although many tea houses and hotels in the hills and mountains are reasonably comfortable, you can bring your sleeping bag even for teahouse treks.
