Start your Langtang Valley Trek with an 8-9 hour journey from Kathmandu to Gatlang! The drive offers remarkable views of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and Annapurna. The road is quite rocky and rugged, with many potholes and small ditches. You'll journey alongside the Trishuli River until you reach Dhunche, the administrative center of Rasuwa District. Before entering the Langtang National Park, make sure to have your TIMS card and National Park Permit ready to show at the Park Gate. After an additional hour of driving away from Dhunche, you will arrive in Syabrubesi. From here, the remoteness of the area is immediately recognizable. Gatlang, a Tamang settlement area, is surrounded by terraced hills and is renowned for its friendly locals and hospitable atmosphere.
