Important Trek Information and Additional Route Details

After leaving Kathmandu, the trek starts with a drive to Syabrubesi. Next, the route goes through Gatlang, Tatopani, and the villages of Thuman and Briddim before merging into the classic Langtang Valley trail to the Lama Hotel. The undergrowth along the way provides chances of spotting the rare red panda. After the Syabrubesi Leg, the last drive back to Kathmandu concludes the trek.
