- Kanjin Gompa makes a wonderful base for a number of thrilling day and overnight treks. Saunter to the summit of Kyanjin Ri (4600m) from which it feels like you could just lean out across the valley and touch the snows of giant Langtang Lirung.

"Awesome day trip from Kyanjin Gompa. Looks tough and steep but not too hard! I surprised myself by dragging myself up there after walking from Langtan Village that morning. Awesome awesome views." — willa • Nov 22, 2016
"We were on a 2 week long trek to Langtang, Gosainkund and Helambu. We had walked up the Langtang valley and were staying in a lodge at Kyan Ghompa. Unfortunately we only had limited time,as it would have been good to have spent several days exploring this remote part of Langtang. my companion had developed severe blisters, so I climbed Kyanjin Ri with our Guide Prakash. I noticed near the 1st summit that I developed some mild symptoms of altitude sickness, as I hadn't acclimatised properly at that stage of the trek. I took it steady and completed the walk before returning down to the village. Pity as I had wanted to go up nearby Tsergo Ri, which is just on the 5000m mark. The weather was excellent and views of the Lantang Himal were stunning." — davidlong • Oct 14, 2010
