After breakfast, your trek begins with an uphill hike through a forest. today at list 1000m. we have to walk. normally 5-6 hours take to time to reach lama hotel. this is your first day on foot. Continuing uphill there is a bit of a steep climb for an hour to reach a place interestingly called Bamboo. At 1,850m it is a good place to stop and catch our breath and have lunch. After lunch, the trail continues upwards through the bamboo forests until we reach Lama Hotel, quite a famous name in these parts.

Today the trail takes us through rhododendron and pine forests, past waterfalls, and along very scenic paths. We feel particularly close to nature today as we enter the interesting wide valley of Langtang. This is home to much wildlife also as we are in Langtang National Park.

Will we see a red panda, But first, we stop at Ghoda Tabela for lunch before heading on to Langtang Village and up the Langtang Valley to Mundu where we stop for the night. Langtang Village was badly damaged during the 2015 earthquake however the mainly Tamang people have now rebuilt and the area is open again to trekkers. this day 6-7 hours to walk to reach Langtang village.

Today’s trek is a little shorter but no less interesting! 4 hours trek to Kyanjing Gompa After breakfast, we walk past watermills, Chortens (Buddhist shrines), and prayer wheels on the way to Kyangjin Gompa. After lunch, we have the afternoon to explore the Gompa and surrounding areas and take in the mountain views. This also acts as an acclimatization day before climbing Tserko Ri in the morning.

After a good breakfast, we trek for approximately 5 hours to summit Tserko Ri. But the views make it worthwhile! Here we can see Yala Peak (5,520m), Langtang Ri (7,205m), Langtang Lirung (7,227m) and Naya Khang (5,844m).

tent camp.

Today we have to walk to reach Moraine camp from Langsisa Kharka. Moraine camp is situated at a height of (4,650) meters above sea level. You can find high alpine vegetation and pure nature here. overnight at tent camp.

we head steeply up towards Tilman Base Camp via Tilman Pass (5,360)m. The trail ascends through the rocky moraine making the most exciting and strenuous journey. We go up the grassy side of the moraine onto loose rocky ridges; up then down loose soil and sliding rocks onto the glacier, with its crud of boulders and small rocks that require careful balance and attention to footing. You may find it hard to breathe while trekking through Tilman Pass as it is at an altitude of 5360 meters. Looking ahead you’ll see what the conditions of the past are like. You might also need to fix a rope, harness, crampons, and Jumar for crossing the pass. This is steep, but once level with the top of the icefall, the rest of the way to the pass is over easy snow ridges. The pass is quite beautiful but there are no cairns, poles, or places to string a prayer flag. We are surrounded by snow peaks from east to west. Looking ahead, we see the terrain sloping steeply down to the valleys and peaks feeding into the river which runs east-west at the foot of Langtang. Sometimes, you might need to fix the ropes while descending too. After a quiet descent, you will reach Tilman Base Camp, your camping destination overnight. As the conditions of glaciers are always changing, overnight at tent camp.

After breakfast, we will begin our journey for today's destination Tinpokhari (the three lakes) which is one of the major attractions of the Tilman Pass Trekking. We will walk by the larger flat, sandy areas and descend the boulder-strewn snow slopes where the footing can be tricky. The walk is mostly downhill, going from one mound of loose rock and ice to another. If you will be trekking during the winter season then you will find Tin Pokhari to be completely snowbound. At Tin Pokhari you feel like you are nearing your goal of the pass. While you can still look back toward now-distant valleys, the Himalayan chain dominates the surroundings, the peaks stretching out before you less than a day’s hike ahead.  From here you’ll be able to see High Camp (South) and the pass above. overnight at tent camp.
