Itinerary
Day 01 Arrival in Kathmandu
Day 02 Drive to Syabrubesi (1,460 m/4,790 ft)
Day 03 Syabrubesi trek to Gatlang (approx. 5.5 hours
Our journey begins in Syabrubesi, a familiar starting point for many treks. However, instead of following the usual routes, we’ll take a detour. After about an hour and a half of ascending to a viewpoint, prepare to be mesmerized by the breathtaking vistas of Ganesh Himal, the Gosainkund range, and the Goljang Valley.
Following this awe-inspiring stop, we’ll make our way down to the Goljang Valley, taking a leisurely hour’s walk to reach our lunch spot. Amidst the tranquility of the valley, we’ll refuel with a delicious meal before continuing our adventure.
In the afternoon, we’ll embark on a three-hour trek to reach Gatlang, a charming Tamang village. As we traverse the picturesque landscape, let’s soak in the beauty of the surroundings and anticipate the warm hospitality awaiting us in Gatlang.
Day 04 Gatlang to Tatopani (approx. 7 hours)
Day 05 Tatopani to Thuman (approx. 4 hours)
Day 06 Thuman to Briddim (approx. 5 hours)
Today’s trek starts with a gentle stroll along a flatter section of the trail before descending to Timure. As we follow the old trade route to Tibet, we’re reminded of the close proximity to the border, just a three-hour walk away. However, due to current restrictions, crossing the border isn’t possible, and the area is heavily patrolled by police.
After a satisfying lunch, our journey continues to Briddim, another charming Tamang village. Here, you’ll have the unique opportunity to stay in a local home, immersing yourself in the authentic culture of the community. Accommodation and meals are provided in rotation among the villagers, ensuring that the entire community benefits from your visit. It’s a special way to support the local economy and experience genuine hospitality.
