The Road to Langtang

Introducing The Road to Langtang

A tarmac road heads northwest out of Kathmandu for 23km to Kakani, perched on the edge of the Kathmandu Valley with spectacular views of the Ganesh Himal, and continues to Trisuli Bazaar. Beyond here the road to Dhunche deteriorates to very rough gravel, and is travelled only by mountain bikers and trekkers headed for the Langtang region.

Just before Malekhu, on the Kathmandu-Pokhara (Prithvi) Hwy, there's a bridge over the Trisuli and the turn-off for the new road to Trisuli Bazaar. It makes an interesting circular bicycle ride a possibility, taking in Kakani, Trisuli Bazaar, Dhading and Malekhu.
