Day 2 : Kathmandu to Syabru Bensi 1462m/4795ft
The bus ride from Kathmandu to Syabru Bensi is the first leg of the tour to Langtang Valley. It takes about thirty minutes to drive past Dhunche.Driving down the road by the Trishuli River, you can view the Ganesh Himal against the hills covered in lush woods and terrace fields of rice, maize, and mustard. It is also possible to see the terraces that were carved for farming by men. The path to Syabru Bensi gets rugged and uneven after Dhunche. Nestled beneath majestic rolling hills is the quaint village of Syabru Bensi. The vast open farmlands of the village are breathtaking to see as they move with the wind. Situated on the eastern bank of the Trishuli Ganga River, Old Syabrubesi is just twenty minutes’ walk from Syabrubesi.

This is where our major hike starts. After breakfast we head to the Bhote Koshi River, which we cross again via a suspension bridge, and then we head towards the Langtang Khola. The river flows so beautifully that the excursion is very restorative. After passing over the landslide zone, the trail continues on toward Bamboo (1960 m) and Ramche (2400 m). From this point on, the journey becomes increasingly exciting as we pass past gorgeous waterfalls and woodlands. We have a fair chance of seeing animals like red pandas and rhesus monkeys. By following the path, we reach Gumanechok, where we stay the night at the Lama Hotel. For the most part, the area is called the Lama Hotel. Guesthouses are everywhere in this area.

Yaks are grazing and lounging in this breathtaking pastureland as we pass through it. We pass Tamang houses, mills, Buddhist banners, and prayer wheels along the way. We continue on and arrive at Langtang Village (3500m).The 3,400-meter-tall Langtang Village, a thriving collection of teahouses built in a bowl and offering guests a haven, is perched on a narrow ravine portion.But since it’s not our ultimate goal, we press on and reach Mundu, where we spend the night.

The vast green fields, enormous sculpted brown hills, and herds of yaks and goats scattered over the terrain transport hikers into a world straight out of a fairy tale. The hills are home to several massive wild beehives that hang from cliff edges and crevasses, and the area provides a breathtaking example of a Sephardic way of life.
