If the weather permits, keep watch for glimpses of the snow-capped peaks ahead. Eventually, the narrow river valley widens as we reach Ghoda Tabela (3,030m).

Additionally, we'll explore the cheese factory, offering insights into the local economy and culture. For those seeking adventure, an optional hike to Langshisa Kharka and the viewpoint of Tserko Ri (5,450m/17,880ft) awaits. Tserko Ri, the highest point of our trek, provides unparalleled vistas of peaks such as Langtang Lirung (7,227m) and Langtang II (6,586m), among others. Another noteworthy viewpoint, Kyanjin Ri (4,773m / 15,655 ft), offers majestic panoramas of the Langtang range. As the day draws to a close, we'll return to Kyanjin Gompa, where we'll spend the night, basking in the tranquility of this serene mountain sanctuary.
Departing from Kyangjin Gompa, we bid farewell to the majestic mountains, their grandeur etched in our memories. However, it's time for us to retrace our steps along the familiar path back to Langtang Village. En route, we'll pause for a satisfying lunch break at Ghoda Tabela, where the army checkpoint will formally record our exit.
