    1. Day 1: Drive from Kathmandu (1,400 meters) to Tarke Ghyang (2,530 meters)

      We prepare to head towards Tarke Ghyang (2,530 meters) early in the morning. We can go via a local bus or a private vehicle can be arranged accordingly. As we leave the capital in the morning, the settlements become more scattered, with more greenery.

      Moreover, enjoying the view of the lush hills, mountain ranges, and flowing rivers with some small settlements on the winding road, we reach Timbu (2,400 meters). From here we can either trek or drive to Tarke Ghyang.

      This village sits below Ama Yangri Peak, surrounded by lush hills. We will be accommodating here for the night.

    2. Day 2: Trek to Ama Yangri (3,771 meters) and return to Tarke Ghyang (2,530 meters)

      We start our day by looking at the nearby surroundings and enjoying the breakfast. We then prepare to head towards Ama Yangri (3,771 meters). The path is quite challenging as most of the sections are steep uphill. In addition, as we climb, the altitude might also challenge us.

      However, the trail offers views of the mountain range and lush hills. Also looking back we will see Tarke Ghyang far behind. During the initial trek on the path, we will walk through lush forests and small settlements. The views of the snow-capped mountain start to get clearer as we approach the peak.

      Once we reach the summit, the panoramic view of the Langtang Range, the Annapurna, Manaslu, and Everest will steal our hearts. Moreover, the prayer flags and lush hills on the nearer side to the mountain range further create a picturesque view.

      Since there aren’t any local teashops en route or at the summit. So we should prepare beforehand and take the necessary things. After a couple of hours, we return to Tarke Ghyang where we will accommodate for the night.

    3. Day 3: Drive from Tarke Ghyang (2,360 meters) to Kathmandu (1,400 meters)

      With an early morning breakfast, we prepare to head towards the capital. We take a local bus or a private vehicle that will escort us to the capital.

      Returning to the capital gives us a different perspective of the lush hills, river streams, and small settlements. The mountain ranges we saw yesterday will also be visible in some sections along the drive.

      Upon arrival at the capital, our short journey to Ama Yangri ends. Despite the short trek, it provides a beautiful view along the drive and the trail.
