Introducing Dhunche & Syabrubesi
By the time you reach Dhunche, 119km from Kathmandu, you will have been inspected by countless redundant police and army checkpoints, plus paid Rs 1000 to enter the Langtang National Park. Irritation evaporates quickly, however, because there are spectacular views of the Langtang Valley, and although the modern section of Dhunche is pretty tacky, it's definitely a Tamang town, and the old section is virtually unchanged. Many people start trekking from Dhunche, although there is a bus to Syabrubesi as well.
