DETAILED ITINERARY
Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu [1,350m / 4,429ft]

Day 02: Kathmandu: Sightseeing and Trip Preparation
A single day can never be enough to explore what Kathmandu has to offer. However, we will try to visit few places that are listed in UNESCO World Heritage Sites. After having our breakfast, we will be heading towards the holy temple of Hindus, Pashupatinath. This temple bears significance to all the Hindus around the globe. People of other religions also come and visit this place since it’s a place that’s spiritually satisfying. Our next destination for the day lies a few kilometers northeast of Pashupatinath, Boudhanath Stupa. The stupa has a remarkable architectural significance and religious significance, especially for Buddhist people. Everyone in the Boudhanath area seems to be speechless and clicking photos now and then. Travel for the day comes to an end with the final destination, Swayambunath – yet another religiously significant of Buddhists. This temple is also known as the Monkey temple. The main architectural structure is a treat to watch, and the surrounding ambiance tends to hit us spiritually. Finally, we discuss our trek in detail and do some last-minute gear shopping so that we lack nothing.

We have our morning breakfast in Kathmandu and set out on our drive to Syabrubesi. We will be having quite a scenic drive on a luxurious bus ride from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. We will see rivers, terraced fields, villages, and sights of snowy mountains if the weather is obvious.

Today marks an important date as we climb Yala Peak. We will need to wake up at midnight to start our journey as soon as possible. We need to reach Yala Peak summit before noon hits, and the wind begins blowing badly for us. We make strenuous efforts to climb up along the trail to reach the summit of Yala Peak. We will behold jaw-dropping views of mighty snow-capped mountains such as Shishapangma, Dorje Lakpa, Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri, Lirung, on reaching the summit Langtang, and so on.
