The land of the Tamang people, Langtang, lies just north by road from the capital city of Kathmandu in the breathtaking mountainous country of Nepal. A jeep ride six hours north of the ancient, bustling city of Kathmandu transports you to another world. A bus trip takes 9-10 hours from Kathmandu to Dhunche or Syabrubesi. High mountainous terrain plunging into deep green gorges covered by rhododendron forest and tall pines define this beautiful landscape. Nowadays, the jeep drive from Kathmandu directly goes up to Langtang Hydropower Station and you can trek to Bamboo on the same day if you want. Also, one can take direct jeep drive back to Kathmandu from Langtang Hydropower Station without staying at Syabrubesi.
