Kyanjin Gompa
क्याङजिन गोम्पा
The endpoint of the Langtang Valley trek, a small Tibetan Buddhist monastery and tea-house village at 3,870 meters, surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
Kyanjin Gompa is the endpoint and base camp of the Langtang Valley route, at about 3,870 meters. The small monastery is modest in size. Behind the prayer flags and mani walls rise snow peaks including Langtang Lirung and Ganchempo. The village has more than a dozen tea houses and bakeries. Most people stay here for two nights to climb Kyanjin Ri, Tserko Ri, or visit Langshisa Kharka. The hike from Syabrubesi takes about three days. Watch for altitude sickness, and note that nighttime temperatures often fall below zero.
