Langtang is a narrow valley that lies
just south of the Tibetan border. It is sandwiched between the main Himalayan
range to the north and slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south.
Langtang Lirung (7246m.) dominates the valley to the north, Gang Chhenpo
(6388m.) and Naya Kangri (5846m.) lie to the south and Dorje Lakpa (6966m.)
protects the east end of the valley. The area was designated Nepal’s first
Himalayan national park in 1971. This high and isolated region is inhabited by
Tamang's whose religious practices, languages and dress are much more similar
to Tibetan. A visit to the Langtang valley offers an opportunity to explore
villages, to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers to comfortably low
elevation. According to legend, a lama following a runway yak discovered the
valley. Hence the name – Lang is Tibetan for “yak” and tang means “to follow”.
This Langtang Trek towards the
base of Langtang Himal, north of Kathmandu valley offers the shortest approach
to snowy mountains from Kathmandu. The Langtang Trek starts from Syabru Besi,
following a trail upstream Langtang Khola through ethnic Tamang villages, lush
green forests and the wide Kyanjin valley surrounded by snowy peaks from all

Day 3: Drive to Syabrubesi (132 km /
1460m / 5-6 hrs)
It is about 5-6
hours drive from Kathmandu on a rough, deteriorating paved highway that twists
and climbs over ridges to the Trishuli valley. Passing Balaju and Nagarjun, the
road leaves the Kathmandu valley at Kakani (2145m), where there are excellent
views of Annapurna II, Manaslu and Ganesh Himal and descends into the broad
Trishuli valley. We drive through the Ranipauwa, this is the large village and
is the radish capital of Nepal. After a long descent through terraced fields,
the road crosses the Tadi Khola then climbs onto a plateau and passes fields of
mustard, corn and rice. The road then passes an army camp and rolls into
Trishuli Bazaar at 548m. There are many shops and hotels. The Dhunche road
starts at a petrol station in Trishuli Bazaar just before the bridge and
follows the east bank of the Trishuli River. The road passes two bridges
carrying massive pipes that feed the hydroelectric project and climbs slightly
to Betrawati at 620m. Betrawati is the junction of the Trishuli and the
Phalungu Khola. At Betrawati the road crosses the Phalangu Khola then
switchbacks at the end of the ridge for 15 km, through Brahman and Chhetri
villages to Kalikhastan at 1390m. There is the entrance to Langtang National
Park; the police check the permit here. The road reaches its high point on the
ridge at 1980m then makes a long contour with a few ups and downs through oak
and rhododendron forests, passing above Ramche and Thare and then reaches
Dhunche, the administrative headquarters of Rasuwa district, at 1950m. Just
before Dhunche is the national park headquarters. Little further, there is army
check post where we should show our national park permit. Dhunche is a picturesque
village with narrow streets lined with buildings. The main part of Dhunche is
below the road. In Dhunche here are many nice hotels, restaurants, shops and
camping ground. This is the trekking starting point for Gosainkund trek. From
Dhunche we drive 15 km further to Syabrubesi. We drive through Thulo Bharkhu
and then descend down to Bhote Koshi. Syabrubesi is an interesting village on
the banks of the Bhote Koshi at 1420m. Here are several good hotels with
attached bathroom, restaurants and shops.
