Know before you go

There is an interesting village at the confluence of the Bhote Kosi and Langtang Kola, below which it becomes the Trisuli Nadi. The first day's trail zigzags upward to a ridge and continues to the viewpoint at Rongba Bhanjyang, followed by another easy 45-minute walk to lunch.
Then continue up to Gatlang, the largest Tamang village in the region. A fairly short day's trek along the ancient salt trade route from Tibet will take you back to Syabru Besi, from where you return to Kathmandu or extend your visit.
