Sustainable Serang Monastery Trek

Drive along the banks of the sacred Budhi Gandaki River.

Begin the trek by walking through Gurung Villages along the foothills of the Himalaya.

Along the trail, watch for Langur monkeys and waterfalls cascading into the Budhi Gandaki River.

On this day, we arrive at the intersection that leads to either the Nubri or the Tsum Valley. For this trek, we head upwards towards the Nubri Valley. We arrive in Bihi, a village terraced into the mountainside with tremendous views. ​

A huge ascent, leaving the Nubri Valley floor and passing through a small village terraced into the steep mountainsides. The ascent is steep, but its natural beauty is humbling. The Serang Monastery, with a history of over 500 years, is a unique Buddhist sanctuary nestled in the lap of the Himalaya.

Descend to Ghap, a forested village on the river.

On this day, you will walk along the riverside, through trees, and pass by several small villages.

Spend this day walking on a familiar trail down valley.

Arrive back to Machha Khola, the starting point of the trek and where the trek will finally end.

Take your transport back to the bustling Kathmandu City.
