Exploring Kyanjin Gompa: The End of the Trail

Located at an altitude of around 3,870 meters, Kyanjin Gompa lies in the upper reaches of the Langtang Valley Trek, one of Nepal’s most scenic trekking routes.

The journey begins from Kathmandu, followed by a drive to Syabrubesi and days of trekking through lush forests, suspension bridges, rivers, and traditional Tamang villages before reaching this high Himalayan settlement.

At Kyanjin Gompa, the trail ends but the adventure truly begins.
