Extra day for Tsergo Ri peak hike!
For adventure enthusiasts, an extra day hike from Kyanjin Gompa to Tsergo Ri Peak and Langsisa Valley is an absolute must. Trek to Tsergo Ri, at an altitude of 4,984 meters, presents spectacular panoramic views of the Langtang range, including Langtang Lirung, Yala Peak, and Dorje Lakpa.
While the hike to Kyanjin Ridge tenders breathtaking views, the Tsergo Ri trail is more challenging yet equally rewarding, taking around 6 to 7 hours for a round trip from Kyanjin Gompa lodges.
On the other hand, the serene Langsisa Valley, with its lush pastures, snowcapped peaks, and pristine glaciers, remains relatively untouched, offering a peaceful retreat away from the busier trekking routes. Exploring Langsisa Valley allows you to fully immerse yourself in the stunning beauty and tranquility of the Himalayas.
Best time for Langtang trek
The best time for Langtang trek in Nepal is during the months of September to November and March to May. During these months, the weather is generally dry and clear, provides an excellent visibility of the mountain ranges and landscapes.
March, April, and May months are also excellent months to explore the Langtang Valley trekking route in Nepal. It creates an ideal setting for trekkers while the climate is warm, combined with vibrant rhododendron forests in full bloom. Nevertheless, though rare 5% chances of light rainfall may occur during this period, so it is advisable to prepare with appropriate rain gear to ensure a comfortable journey.
September, October, and November are regarded as another peak trekking season in Nepal. During this post monsoon period, the landscape is often adorned with a variety of wildflowers. Consequently, the skies tend to be clear, and the cool temperatures creates an ideal environment for trekking. Typically the weather in the Langtang region is stable during these months, with very few drops of rain, allowing for consistently spectacular mountain views.
Trekking to Langtang during the winter months of December, January, and February presents challenges due to harsh weather conditions. By late December, temperatures drop significantly, especially around Kyanjin Gompa, and January and February bring cold, unpredictable weather with the possibility of snowy trails.
Despite these challenges, trekkers with proper cold weather gear and winter trekking experience can still enjoy the stunning landscapes and quieter trails. On the other hand, the monsoon months from June to August offer lush greenery but bring heavy rainfall, landslides, and limited visibility. Though the crowds are fewer, it’s essential to be well prepared for wet conditions and unpredictable weather.
Langtang trek difficulty and distance
A trek to Langtang Valley is a gentle adventure, making it an ideal choice for beginners in Nepal. Classified as an easy to moderate trek, it requires four days of walking with a gradual altitude gain to reach the serene Kyanjin Gompa.
Likewise, Tsergo Ri is a stunning hilltop viewpoint, tenders breathtaking vista of the entire Langtang mountain range. Throughout the trek, you will ascend 800 to 900 meters daily, covering 12–15 kilometers in about 6–7 hours, eventually reaching the Langtang Glacier. Among the many highlights, Langtang Lirung stands out as a majestic peak, appearing strikingly close to trekkers.
From Kyanjin Gompa to Tsergo Ri day hike is a physically demanding challenge, requiring a 1,000 meters ascent to its 4,985 meters summit. While it tests endurance and stamina, the unmatched panoramic views make every step worthwhile.
From Kathmandu, the route covers 72 kilometers to Trishuli, followed by 50 kilometers to Dhunche Bazaar. The final stretch to Kyanjin Gompa spans 25 kilometers, making the total single way journey approximately 147 kilometers.
How to reach Syapru besi Bazaar comfortably?
Since there is no airport in the Langtang Territory, travel by road adds an adventurous element to your journey. To enhance comfort and convenience, deciding for a private Jeep is highly recommended, though it comes at an additional cost.
The drive from your hotel in Thamel to Syabrubesi takes about six hours on a relatively smooth route. If you prefer a quicker and more comfortable 4WD ride, booking a private Jeep (depending on group size) ensures a smooth and hassle free start to your trek.

No doughts, we are again planning our next trip to Annapurna with Gokyo Trek agency in coming October – November. If you are thinking or searching for a reliable company then this agency is the best for sure and their prices are competitive comparing others.
