Kyanjin Ri
क्याङजिन री
A viewpoint hill behind Kyanjin Gompa, at about 4,773 meters. A half-day round trip gets you close views of Langtang Lirung and the glaciers.
Kyanjin Ri is the classic viewpoint of the Langtang hike. From Kyanjin Gompa, the climb gains about 900 meters, taking 4–5 hours round trip. The lower Kyanjin Ri (about 4,350 meters) already offers a panoramic view. Fit hikers can continue to the summit, where, beneath the prayer flags, you can look down on Langtang Lirung, Ganchempo, and the Langtang Glacier. It is best to start at dawn to see the sunrise. Bring plenty of water and warm clothing, as clouds often build up in the afternoon.
