After having breakfast, you will leave to the north of Kathmandu to reach Syabrubesi. You will take a drive past the city then into a more dusty road. On the way, the views of traditional farms, terraced rice fields, mustard fields, and mountains will be prominent.

The traditional houses are made of bricks and thatched roofs. You might come across locals grazing their cows and goats along with the riverside settlement of Trishuli. After reaching Dhunche, the drive takes you further up to Syabrubesi, where you will rest at a tea house for the night.

You will begin the trek on this day towards Lama Hotel. The trailhead takes you to the Langtang National Park area. The park's wilderness can be witnessed as the dense forest is silent with clear whispers of birds and animals. The route passes the Bhote Koshi river flowing from Tibet. Passing by thick rhododendrons and oak trees with sights of Langurs swinging from trees, you will eventually reach Lama Hotel. 

Overnight in Lama Hotel.

The trail on this day will take you through a dense forest with Langtang Lirung peeking in the backdrop.The elevation gain is significant on this day as you cross Ghode Tabela (Horse Stable), leaving behind the forest into open fields. You can witness the closeup views of the Langtang range of mountains as the Tamang villages across the hills. Depending upon the season, you will witness the yak herders with their yaks in the lush grazing fields.

After trekking for a while, you will reach Langtang village, which has been renewed with hundreds of tin-covered houses wiped out during the 2015 earthquake. The new teahouses and lodges are fairly better. Interact with the Tamang ethnic community living there. You will come across a series of Mani wall memorials dedicated to all those people who lost their lives in the massive earthquake.

Overnight at Langtang Village.

The trek to Kyanjin Gompa will begin on this day as you pass the different houses and move across yak pastures. In the winter season, the rivers are mostly frozen. As you cross the bridges, you will reach Kyangjin Gompa. The place is named after the Buddhist monastery with the same name. Visit the monastery in the afternoon.

If you have reached on time, visit the local cheese factory and devour some fresh yak cheese. You can even hike up to Kyanjin Ri (4,984m) to enjoy the sunset. The views of snow-capped Langshisha (6,427m), Gang Chenpo (6,388m), and Dorje Lakpa (6,966m) are amazing.

You will stay at Kyanjin for acclimatization and rest on this day. As there is a drastic increase in altitude, your body needs to acclimate. After breakfast, head up the trail to Tserko Ri, a ridge in Kyanjin. From here, the views of Langtang Lirung, Naya Kang, Yubra Himal, and Yala Peak are clearly visible. The frozen Langtang Lirung glacier and the icefall between Changbu and Yubra are majestic sights. From Tserko Ri, hike back to Kyangjin Gompa for the night.

This is one of the most exciting days as you will pack your bags and gear up for a hike to Tsona Lake. There are about five chains of small lakes with mountains surrounding each side. The view is mesmerizing and worth the hike.

To add to the adventure of this tour, the helicopter will be waiting to fly you to Kathmandu. The bird's eye view of the lakes and the closeup views of Langtang mountain range are a once-in-a-lifetime sight. In about 20 minutes, the helicopter will take you to the domestic airport of Kathmandu.

After reaching the airport, you will be driven to your hotel, after which you can spend the evening by heading to pubs and clubs in Thamel or souvenir shopping.
