After your first breakfast at Syabrubesi, you will start walking the main road, soon reaching Ghopcha Khola from where the real trek to Langtang begins. The trail starts opening up the spectacular views of well-cultivated fields and dense forest with a variety of plant species like oaks, maple, alder, and bamboo. You may get to see yellow-throated martin, wild boar, langur monkeys, red panda, and Himalayan black bear en route. 

Passing by several small tea shops, the trail cuts across a stream and bridge. Continue ascending steeply along the trail until you come across a steel suspension bridge at 2000 meters. The route further crosses to the north bank of the Langtang Khola amid the spectacular vistas of cascading waterfalls and opens into the scrub oak forest. On reaching 2748 meters, you will arrive at Lama Hotel where the trek would get concluded for the day.

On today's trail, you will continue ascending from Lama hotel through the forest enjoying the mountain landscape and waterfalls. An occasional glimpse of Langtang Lirung will drag your attention instantly making you search for your camera. The trail continues to climb up as the valley starts widening. You will pass through few temporary settlements used by the herders to graze their livestock in the high pasture land.

Continue your walk passing through a Buddhist Monastery to the Langtang Village which was totally wiped out during the devastating earthquake of 2015. It's a history now that there was a beautiful village with lots of local inhabitants running tea houses for visitors in this area. Spare a thought for all those spirits who lost their lives here and think that your trip will help the survivors to lead their living in a normal way.

Walking further for half an hour, you will reach Mundu for overnight.

Today is an opportunity for you to have some rest and explore some great viewpoints in the Langtang region. After having breakfast, you can visit the monastery and the cheese factory if you did not get a chance to step in the previous day.

It's suggested to hike to Kyangjin Ri, located behind the village, for 360-degree panoramic views of the Langtang peaks. Better to start off early morning for clear views as clouds might build up in the afternoon blocking the majestic views of the peaks.

And today is another day retracing the back steps to Syabru Besi, enjoying the quiet forested hills.

Always better to have some new experience and add some new pictures in your camera.
