Day 1
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu (1,400m)

Day 2: Drive Kathmandu to Syabrubesi (1,460m)
📍 Syabrubesi
5–6 hour drive through river gorges and terraced hillsides to Syabrubesi — the trailhead village for Langtang National Park. The drive itself is scenic and an adventure on Nepal's mountain roads. Overnight in a comfortable teahouse. Meals: All included.
Day 3
Day 3: Syabrubesi to Lama Hotel (2,470m)
📍 Lama Hotel
Enter Langtang National Park and trek north through sub-tropical forest along the Langtang Khola. Watch for red pandas in the bamboo thickets — Langtang is one of Nepal's best red panda habitats. Walking time: 5–6 hours. Meals: All included.
Day 4
Day 4: Lama Hotel to Langtang Village (3,430m)
