How to navigate Langtang Valley Trek?
The bus drive takes you to almost every corner of Nepal. In the case of the Langtang region also it is not an anomaly. A destination popular as the gateway to most of the toils in the Langtang region, our first stop at Langtang Valley Trek is Syabrubesi.
To encounter Syabrubesi from Kathmandu, a drive to Machhapokhari Bus Station from your accommodation is the preferable option. From Machhapokhari Bus Station, several buses leave for Syabrubesi from Kathmandu.
After driving for approximately 9 hours from the Kathmandu New Buspark Station, the village of Syabrubesi greets you for an exciting night’s stay.
The scenery is pleasing, however being off-road, the bumps on the road might make you frustrated. Further, the driver, as well as locals, love to hear the folk song on loud which might be irritating for you. Thus putting an earplug inside your bag is most recommended.
If you do not want such dramatic scenes to happen, go for the jeep ride option. It might be a relief for you if you prefer a peaceful drive and budget is not an issue.
Have a problem with motion sickness?
Make sure to carry the medication to overcome the sickness.
“Want to put the steps into the Langtang Region with a lavish flight ride? If so is the case, you either change your trek region or get ready for the scenic drive up to Syabru Besi from Kathmandu. The absence of an airport in the Langtang region clarifies to all trekkers out there to come to this region via the roadway.
Langtang Heli Tour does compensate for the absence of the airport. However, the Langtang Heli tour Journey is not enough to quench the thirst of experiencing the barefoot walk on the hiking trails of Nepal.”
