The distance between Kathmandu and Shyabru Besi is about 162 kilometers via Galchi and Pasang Lhamu highways. Local buses run from Gongabu Bus Park or Machha Pokhari daily from 6.30 am to 9 am and take 7 to 8 hours to reach the destination. After breakfast we leave the hotel early for Machha Pokhari to catch the bus to Shyabru Besi. The bus leaves Kathmandu valley at 4 am and reaches Shyabru Besi at 4 am. Leaving the Kathmandu valley, we will go to Shyabru Besi through the bustling city of Trishuli. One thing to keep in mind is that the bus is usually old and crowded which gives the journey a new experience. However, don’t be surprised if you find goats, chickens or sheep on the bus. Most local buses stop anywhere to add more passengers. Most of the local drivers plying this route are experts, so it is safe to travel by public transport. Most of the domestic and international trekkers visiting the Langtang region use this option on a daily basis. However, you can also opt for a comfortable travel experience, which brings us to option that is private vehicle.

After arriving at Shyabru Besi, proceed to your hotel and check in at the hotel. Spend your time at leisure or buy locally made goods or explore the local attractions in Shyabru Besi. Stay overnight at Royal Himalaya Hotel in Shyabru Besi.

This is one of the “Off the Beaten Treks” trails in Nepal. The off the beaten treks for cultural encounter helps to discover the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism at the edge of one of the most secluded Himalayan valleys. In fact, during your hike, don’t be surprised if you’re the only person there but have to capture the best view. Of course, the photos don’t do it justice; you must visit to experience this magnificent sight for yourself.
