Day 03: DRIVE KATHMANDU - SYABRUBESI (1,460 m): 135 km: 6-7 HRS
Early morning, our scenic drive starts to Syabrubesi. We have 3 different options of driving route. One is via Galchi (longest), the 2nd one is via Kakani (shorter) and the last one via Tokha road (shortest). Depending upon the road condition during the monsoon time, we may choose one of them. During the monsoon time, the 1st route via Galchi is the best. In the normal time, we can use either of the Kakani or Tokha route. The drive via Galchi is good until Trishuli Bazaar and it is the Trishuli Bazaar where both of the other routes (Kakani and Tokha ones) meet and continue to Dhunche. In other words, all routes pass by Trishuli Bazaar and Dhunche. Dhhunche is the headquarter of the Rasuwa District (one of the Govt. administrative units among the 75 in total). The route via Kakani is called Pasang Lhamu Highway and it continues till Syabrubesi and on to Rasuwagadhi (Nepal-Tibet border point). Over night at Syabrubesi.

After breakfast, we continue our trek going through the green lush forest with rhododendron (if you are here in March/April). The forest looks as if sub-tropical as its ground is full of moss and trees are covered by the ferns and orchids. Through the forest, off and on, we may have a sight of Mt Langtang Lirung. At the end of the trail, we reach Ghoda Tabela (3,000 m), where once a Tibetan Settlement Project used to be active, but presently there is Nepalese Army Post. From the post, we continue our mild uphill walk which will widen the valley and pass by some small settlements with pasture land used by the local herders who migrate here with their farm animals for grazing in warm season of monsoon. Finally, we reach Langtang Village, a typical village in Tibetan style with farmland growing potatoes, buckwheat, barley and uniquely turnips. The Headquarter of Langtang National Park is also located here. If you have time, you can visit the Headquarter and the monastery nearby. Over night at Langtang Village.

Langtang Valley, Mundu and Keynjing Gompa are the most hit area. Then, we reach the cheese factory. From here, our further short uphill walk will take us to Keynjing Gompa. It is here we will have a nice lunch. The scenery from here is amazing.
