Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, the Ruby Valley trek is a true hidden treasure. This journey offers you more than just breathtaking mountain scenery; it is a deep dive into the rich culture and traditions of rural Nepal. The valley is situated between the famous Langtang National Park and the Manaslu Conservation Area, but its real charm lies in its authentic village life. Unlike commercial treks, your stay will be in local homestays, not hotels. This welcoming, homely environment gives you a genuine experience of Nepali hospitality that is becoming difficult to find elsewhere. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with the land and its people in a very personal way.

Overview Ruby Valley Trek—9 Days

The Ruby Valley Trek takes you on an off-the-beaten-path experience into the laps of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal. This hidden gem provides solitude during the entirety of the trek, as there aren’t many travelers frequenting this route. Amid a diverse terrain of lush forests and high alpine meadows, this trek blends the unique natural beauty of the region with opportunities for cultural immersion in the local communities. During the trek, take some time to explore the lifestyle and local traditions of the ethnic inhabitants along the trail. As you move from one region to another during this 9-day Ruby Valley Trek in Nepal, you will encounter unique cultural differences due to the diverse ethnicities present.

The trek is a moderately easy 9-day journey. Our Ruby Valley Trek itinerary does not include high altitudes, which require travelers to acclimatize to the increasing elevations. However, the trek still provides breathtaking vistas of the Himalayan range, with stunning views of Ganesh Himal, Langtang Himal, Lirung Himal, and Manaslu Himal.

Book the 9-day Ruby Valley Trekking experience with The Everest Holiday for an unforgettable journey through the wilderness of Ruby Valley. We are a team of professionals with several years of experience in the region.

Reminder 

For a smooth and stress-free start, we highly recommend arriving in Kathmandu by 4 PM the day before we leave. This gives you enough time for a final gear check, a trip briefing with your guide, and to make sure you have everything you need before heading to the trek. 

Online briefing 

This is like our first coffee before the trip, but online!  This online meeting is our chance to show you everything that will happen on the trip.  We'll discuss what to bring and what each day will be like and answer any questions.  After you book, we'll send you an email with a couple of times when we can talk. We'll set up the meeting after the booking process is completed. Also, our trek itinerary does not include your hotel stay in Kathmandu. During the online meeting, please share your preferences, budget, and the standard of the hotel you would like to stay at in Kathmandu. We will arrange it for you accordingly.

Note to Hikers

Experience the Himalayas on your terms. We create personal, intimate treks for groups of two or more. Whether you select our Budget, Standard, or Luxury package, your adventure will be exclusively for you and your companions, ensuring a comfortable and personal journey from start to finish.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 01:

Your Ruby Valley adventure begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. This 7-8 hour journey winds through picturesque landscapes, passing through Trisuli Bazaar, Ramche Gaon, and Dhunche before entering Langtang National Park, where we'll register our trekking permits. While the road can be narrow and bumpy in sections, the stunning mountain views and charming countryside will easily distract you from any discomfort.

We'll spend our first night in Syabrubesi, a bustling village that serves as the gateway to several trekking routes and sits near the Tibetan border. This strategic location means you can find any last-minute supplies or gear you might need for the trek ahead. After checking into our accommodation, you'll have time to relax, explore the village, and prepare for the hiking that begins tomorrow.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or LodgeDuration: 7-8 hour
Day 02:

Today's trek takes us to Gatlang, a charming Tamang village perched on the hillside. The path leads us along a winding trail up to Bahun Dada Pass before descending towards our destination. We'll break for a midday meal in Chawatar, where the food is exceptionally tasty, made with fresh, local vegetables from nearby farms.

Walking through Gatlang offers a wonderful glimpse into the rich Tamang culture. We will spend the night in the village as guests of the local community. The warm hospitality and authentic home-cooked meal you'll receive here will likely become one of the most memorable parts of your entire journey.

Max Altitude: 2,337m / 7,690ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or Lodge
Day 03:

The first part of today's trip is a hike from Gatlang to Parvati Kunda, a beautiful alpine lake. The local community sees this freshwater lake as a holy place and named it after the Hindu goddess Parvati. As we keep walking, there are fewer communities and hotels, and we will see relatively few other travelers. The path takes us through lovely pine and rhododendron forests until we arrive to Yuri Kharka, where we'll stop for a delicious lunch.

After we eat, we keep going toward Somdang, crossing Khurphu Bhanjyang on the way. You can visit an old, abandoned mine near Somdang that used to make zinc, copper, tin, and many kinds of crystals, like rubies. Even though it has been closed for years, the location is nonetheless beautiful in its own way. We'll stay the night in the quiet and isolated Somdang Valley. This region is so quiet and untouched that you can really feel the deep silence and peace of nature.

Max Altitude: 3,271m / 10,760ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or Lodge
Day 04:

After breakfast in Somdang, we prepare for one of the highlights of our trek: crossing the Pangsang La Pass. This part of the journey is challenging but incredibly rewarding. We start by heading southwest from the village toward Pangsang Kharka, a wide, beautiful meadow situated right on the pass.

From this high point, you are treated with an unforgettable panoramic view of the majestic Manaslu and Ganesh Himal mountain ranges. Because this is a less-traveled route, the homestays here are simple and few, offering a true sense of remoteness. From the pass, our trail descends through thick forests of fir and rhododendron. We will walk through the small village of Laptung and continue our long, scenic descent until we finally reach Tipling, where we will rest for the night.

Max Altitude: 3,842m / 12,604ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or Lodge
Day 05:

Today is a day off, and Tipling is the best spot to spend it. Tipling lies far up in the mountains and is more than simply a place to get used to the altitude. It's also a view into a unique cultural enclave known as "the Christian village." Tipling is unique because of its rich cultural history. Tipling is noted for having a big Christian community  in  a  mostly  Hindu  and  Buddhist  area. 

You  will  see  little  churches  next  to  typical Nepali houses as you travel along its quiet stone-paved streets. Hymns may float through the 
clear air, especially on Sundays, creating a distinct and peaceful spiritual mood. The combination of the Himalayan environment and surprising faith makes for a quietly remarkable encounter.

Max Altitude: 2,078m / 6,835ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or Lodge
Day 06:

The journey today is a smooth and beautiful descent from the one-of-a-kind mountain village of Tipling  to  the  peaceful  riverside  community  of  Borang.  This  day  brings  a  big  change  in  the weather, the scenery, and the mood as we walk for about 4 to 5 hours and decrease around 278 meters (915 feet) in height. The route goes gently down from Tipling via terraced farms, pine trees, and little rural villages. 

As you walk, the air gets visibly warmer and more humid, and the sound of the river in the distance becomes a nice friend. This downhill trip is good for your lungs and legs, plus it lets you take in the vistas without having to ascend.

Max Altitude: 1,800m / 5,960ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or LodgeDuration: 4 to 5 hoursElevation: 580 m / 1,902 ft
Day 07:

Today's route is a study in differences. We start by crossing the river and going into beautiful, terraced fields. Then we progressively rise through tranquil oak and rhododendron woodlands. There are a few classic stone-paved portions on the trail, and as we go up, the vistas of the mountains  get  better  and  better.

  As  we  make  our  last  push  to  Khintang  Fedi,  get  ready  for harder hills, especially in the late afternoon. Khintang Fedi is a beautiful village on a mountainside with amazing views of the Ganesh Himal range. The settlement gives you a real look at how people used to live in the mountains.

Max Altitude: 1,800 m / 5,960 ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or LodgeDuration: 6-7 hoursDistance: 10 km / 6.2 miles
Day 08:

The trip from Kintang Fedi to Dhading Besi represents the change from the rough, rural areas of northern Dhading to the easier-to-reach lowlands of central Nepal. Most travelers either book a jeep  ahead  of  time  or  use  a  local  car,  depending  on  how  much  money  they  have,  how comfortable they want to be, and when they want to leave. The journey from Kintang Fedi to Dhading Besi is around 35 to 45 kilometers long.

It goes past beautiful hills, terraced farms, and tiny towns, giving you a taste of rural life and culture. Most hiking groups choose a reserved jeep, which takes approximately three to four hours and is comfortable, flexible, and lets you stop for pictures or tea breaks. But daring visitors or single hikers could choose a local jeep or bus  instead.  It  takes  around  five  to  seven  hours  and  gives  you  a  more  true  experience  of traveling in Nepal, even if the journeys can be rough and crowded at times.

The route is largely gravel or dirt; however, certain parts might get muddy during the rain. When trekkers get to Dhading  Besi,  the  administrative  headquarters  of  Dhading  District,  with  a  busy  town  with guesthouses, restaurants, and transit links to Kathmandu. This day's trip is a great mix of the beauty of traveling to faraway places and the comfort of coming back to civilization.

Max Altitude: 580m/1902ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch & DinnerAccommodation: Tea House or LodgeDuration: 5 to 7 hoursDistance: 35 to  45 km/ 27miles.
Day 09:

The last leg of your travel day is a bus ride from Dhading Besi back to the bustling streets of Kathmandu, where we will take you directly to your hotel. Your incredible trek may be over, but  your  adventure  doesn't  have  to  end  just  yet.  Many  travelers  find  that  exploring  the  historic heart of Kathmandu is the perfect way to wrap up their trip. If you're interested, we can easily arrange a guided city tour for you.

This  tour  would  take  you  to  some  of  the  valley's  famous  UNESCO  World  Heritage  Sites.  You could explore the sacred Hindu temple complex of Pashupatinath, see the towering Buddhist stupas of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath, and wander through the ancient royal palaces in Durbar  Square. Experiencing  the  deep  cultural  and  spiritual  history  of  Kathmandu  offers  a beautiful  and  fitting  conclusion  to  your  Himalayan  journey,  giving  you  one  last  layer  of unforgettable memories before you fly home.

Essential Information

Ruby Valley trek (9 days) package information 

Arrival, Welcome, and trek start

When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will be there to greet you. They will be holding a sign with your name on it and will welcome you with a traditional marigold garland or khada. Afterward, they will drive you to your hotel in a private car. We request you arrive in Kathmandu by 4 pm one day before the trek departure. This gives us the final preparation. We will pick you up at your hotel. The adventure officially begins with a scenic drive to Syabrubesi, the starting point of the Ruby Valley, according to the package.

Accommodations 

For six nights during your trek, you'll be settled into charming mountain lodges or homestays, giving you a true taste of local hospitality. These spots are quite comfortable, but it's good to know that things like device charging, Wi-Fi, and hot showers are usually available for a small extra charge. Just a heads up, the package doesn't include your hotel stays in Kathmandu, so you'll need to arrange for two nights there yourself—one before you set off and one for when you return.

Meals

Your meals are all arranged for you throughout the trek. The package covers breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. You'll be served fresh, wholesome, and safe food that is full of nutrients, with an emphasis on delicious local dishes. Don't worry, you'll also find Western choices on the menu. A key part of staying healthy up high is to drink plenty of fluids. We strongly suggest enjoying hot drinks like green tea or ginger tea, and even garlic soup for its health benefits. For your well-being, it's best to avoid meat, caffeine, dairy products, and alcohol at these altitudes. All your included meals will be satisfying and focus on a main course.

Luggage 

We will provide two trekkers for one porter during the trek. The total weight limit for the porter is 20 kg, which means each trekker has a 10 kg luggage allowance. Hence, team up with a fellow traveller and pack your things in a duffle bag of over sixty litters. We expect you to only carry a small personal backpack for your essentials like a camera, water, snacks, and valuables. You can leave any extra bags at your hotel or at our Kathmandu office for free.

Facilities and Essentials 

Water 

You can buy a water bottle from shops along the trail or get boiled/filtered water at lodges. It is advised to bring a refillable water bottle and fill it up with boiled water. Avoid drinking untreated tap, well, or river water. For safety, please use a water purifying tablet or you can buy one in the shops along the trail. 

Communication

We will provide you with a SIM card in Kathmandu and teach you how to get data and recharge cash on it, but mobile signals may be weak at higher altitudes. For your safety, our lead guide keeps daily contact with all trekking teams via mobile. We are fully prepared to handle emergencies, and our guides are trained to assist whenever needed. Additionally, we use walkie-talkies and satellite phones in areas with no network to ensure constant communication.

Travel Essentials

Visa 

Foreigners require a visa to enter Nepal, but Indians don't. Most people can get a visa when they arrive at Kathmandu International Airport. The current fee is USD 50 for 30 days, payable in cash. Citizens of China and SAARC countries receive a free visa. Also, we recommend you to inform your country embassy or consulate of your visit to Nepal and your travel partner here.

Travel insurance 

Having comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for this trek. Your policy must cover medical expenses and emergency helicopter rescue up to an altitude of 4,000 meters. Before the trek begins, you will need to provide us with a copy of your insurance policy.

Currency Exchange

The Nepali Rupee (NPR) is the country's official currency; one US dollar is equivalent to around 130 NPR. In Kathmandu, you may find banks and an authorized money exchange center where you can exchange major foreign currencies.  ATMs are widely available to withdraw NPR, but extra service fees may apply. Make sure that your currency notes are new and undamaged, as old or torn bills may be refused. Only the 100 INR note from India is legally accepted as currency in Nepal. Before traveling to trekking regions, it is advisable to exchange money in Kathmandu because there are limited exchange options in remote areas.

Extra Expense

While our package covers most of your expenses during the trek, you will need to budget for some personal items like meals and accommodation in Kathmandu, visa fees, snacks, hot showers, personal equipment, tips for the crew, etc. We recommend you budget approximately $20 USD per day for these personal expenses during the trek.

Trek Season and Weather Conditions 

While the Ruby Valley welcomes trekkers year-round, the experience you have will be dramatically shaped by the seasons. For the most comfortable trekking experience and to enjoy stunning floral displays, spring (March to May) is a fantastic choice. In the lower valleys, you can expect pleasant daytime temperatures ranging from about 15°C to 20°C, while nights are cool, often dropping to between 5°C and 10°C. The summer monsoon, which lasts from June to August, brings lush green landscapes along with regular rainfall and high humidity. Daytime temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 18°C to 22°C, with nighttime temperatures around 10°C to 15°C. Many people consider autumn (September to November) the prime season, thanks to its stable weather and crystal-clear mountain views. Days are comfortably warm, generally ranging from 13°C to 18°C, while nights become crisp, cooling down to between 0°C and 8°C, especially at higher elevations. Winter (December to February) is cold and peaceful, with sunny days that can feel warm in the sun at 10°C to 15°C, but temperatures plummet after dark, often falling below freezing to between -5°C and 5°C, with snow likely on the higher passes.

Typical day 

We'll eat breakfast early every morning. The day's hike is typically divided into two segments: a three- to four-hour hike in the morning, followed by a one-hour lunch break, and then a shorter hike in the afternoon. We serve dinner around 7:00 p.m., and your guide will discuss the next day's schedule with you. The remainder of the evening is yours to relax, see the settlement, or hang out with the other trekkers.

Tipping culture 

Tipping is a common way to show appreciation for good service. It’s not required, but it’s a nice gesture at the end of the trek. It’s best to give tips as a group, and the amount can depend on the quality of service, the length of the trek, and the overall cost.
