Nepal, Oct. 23 -- The Langtang, Kyanjin and Gosainkunda areas are open for trekking, according to the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN).

TAAN said two alternative trekking routes to the Langtang region are now available following the installation of a Bailey bridge at Betrabati, which was damaged by flooding in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa on August 26.

Under the first option, trekkers can travel from Kathmandu through Trishuli and Betrawati to Dhunche or Thulosyabru, before continuing through Bamboo, Lama Hotel and Langtang to Kyanjin.

The second route runs from Kathmandu through Chisapani, Helambu, Tharepati, Ghopte and Gosainkunda, before continuing through Thulosyabru, Bamboo, Lama Hotel and Langtang to Kyanjin.
