Location · Langtang Region
The roadhead for Langtang, seven hours north of Kathmandu, at the confluence of the Langtang and Bhote Kosi rivers.
Syabrubesi is where the bus stops and the walking starts. It is a functional strip of lodges at 1,460 m, and its great virtue is that reaching it requires no flight — which makes Langtang the most weather-proof of Nepal's three main trekking regions.

Region
Everything in the Khumbu starts with the flight into Lukla and ends with the altitude. It holds the best-supported trekking infrastructure in Nepal and the least forgiving acclimatisation profile.

Region
Almost every trip to Nepal starts and ends in the Kathmandu Valley. Give it more than the two nights most itineraries allow — Patan and Bhaktapur repay slow walking.
