Today is your last full day of hiking on the Langtang Valley Trek. Take the time to savor breakfast this morning; most of your hike today will be downhill, and you’ll only be on the trail for another five or six hours. You’ll pass a number of familiar suspension bridges and waterfalls; if you’re a photography enthusiast, take advantage of this opportunity to capture these sights from a completely new angle.

Your return hike also brings you back through the final stretch of the Langtang National Park. Be on the lookout to catch one last glimpse of any wildlife moving furtively about in the treetops before you return to civilization. When you arrive in Syabrubesi, the comparatively busy streets of town may come as a surprise after trekking in the isolated mountains for a week. Take this opportunity to unwind over a relaxing dinner or drink while reflecting on your trekking accomplishments.

You’ll spend the night in a guesthouse, and today’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included. 

Today you’ll be leaving Syabrubesi after successfully completing the Langtang Valley Trek. The memories you’ve made of quiet mountain towns, glaciated peaks crowned with plumes of snow, and friendly faces of Langtang villagers are sure to stick with you forever. You’ll have plenty of time to reflect on your fondest recollections during the drive back to Kathmandu, which should take approximately seven hours.

Enjoy this final roadside glimpse of rural Nepal before returning to the country’s capital, where your journey began just one week ago. After checking in at your hotel in Kathmandu, you can make the most of your last night in Nepal by enjoying a celebratory drink or lavish meal at one of the city’s best restaurants.

This is also an excellent chance to grab any last-minute souvenirs or keepsakes to commemorate your visit to Nepal. You’ll spend the night here in Kathmandu; today’s breakfast and lunch are included.

After breakfast this morning, it’s time to say goodbye to the colorful chaos of Kathmandu. A representative from Accessible Adventure will meet you at the hotel to take you to Tribhuvan International Airport approximately three hours before the scheduled departure time of your international flight.

We trust that your time in Nepal has gifted you with memories you’ll always cherish, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon!
