Sujan and Mark went on a four-day trek in Langtang, Nepal from March 7-11, 2024. We had fantastic views from the two hills at the end of the trek: Kyanjin Ri (4619m) and Tsergo Ri (5003m). The view of Langtang Lirung (7234m) is particularly impressive from Kyanjin Ri.
In my view, this is the most beautiful and scenic medium-length trek in Nepal. The Gokyo Ri trek in the Solukhumbu near Everest and Cho Oyu has better views but takes longer.
We did this trek very quickly. We don't recommend you imitate this speed due to risk of altitude sickness. If you add one or two days, it can be a comfortable pace.
March 7 - drive from Kathmandu to Syafrubesi (1440m) - around 5:15 of driving
March 8 - trek from Syafrubesi to Thangsyap (3200m) - around 9:20 of trekking
March 9 - trek from Thangsyap to Kyanjin Gompa (3870m) - around 4:05 of trekking. Then trek up to both first and second view at Kyanjin Ri (4300m and 4619m) and back to Kyanjin Gompa - around 4:30 more including time at the summit.
March 10 - trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Tsergo Ri (5003m) - around 5:20 of climbing. Then 3:30 to descend back to Kyanjin Gompa and 3:15 more to reach Thangsyap for the evening.
March 11 - trek from Thangsyap to Syafrubesi - around 7:15 of walking. Then 4.5 hour drive back to Kathmandu.
We took an alternate route up Tsergo Ri, so the video features some footage of that. We have also labeled the mountains we could see from Tsergo Ri.
