Overview of Tamang Heritage Trek
Tamang
Heritage Trekking is a short but attractive route in the lower parts of the
Langtang region. The Tamang Heritage Trail is fascinating because of the
authentic lifestyle and traditions exhibited by the inhabitants of beautiful
villages. Cultural exploration is, without a doubt, one of the main highlights
of this trip, complemented by the stunning mountain views that the trip covers.
The route takes you through beautiful rhododendrons and other alpine forests,
while birds sing sounds to your ears.
The Tamang
people present their culture preserved by their ancestors. To anyone traveling
from another part of the world, their lifestyle may seem even stranger. It is a
great way to explore the rich culture of these people who live in the Langtang
region. You can see the terraced slopes surrounding the picturesque villages.
It is
particularly important to leave with a guide during this trip to enrich your
point of view on the local culture. Also, the language barrier can be quite challenging
to navigate, and the path is not well indicated. Living among the inhabitants
of Tamang, visiting the monasteries, and being surrounded by natural beauty
make this an unforgettable trip. In various places, you can see cultural
performances performed by the locals. In addition to artistic exploration,
other activities include visiting Lake Parvati Kunda in Gatlang, diving in the
warm waters of Tatopani, and visiting the historic site of Rasuwagadi.
Important note
Your safety
is of the utmost importance when traveling with us. Please note that your guide
has the power to modify or cancel any part of the itinerary if necessary for
safety reasons. Every effort will be made to maintain the above plan; however,
as this adventure involves traveling to remote mountain regions, we cannot
guarantee that we will not stray from it. The climatic conditions, the state of
health of a member of the group, unforeseen natural disasters, can contribute
to changes in the itinerary. The leader will try to make sure the trip goes
according to plan, but be prepared to be flexible if necessary.
Depending on your arrival schedule, we will be at Tribhuvan International Airport to welcome you to our country for this beautiful trip warmly. After exchanging warm greetings in the arrival section, we will take you to our vehicle to drop off at your reserved hotel. It's a free day, you will be alone, and you can spend the day doing anything yourself, but we will undoubtedly be happy to guide you through the city.
Today, after having a hot breakfast, you will begin a city tour of the most spiritual and historical attractions in Kathmandu. Some of these monuments are considered a World Heritage Site, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, the famous `` Monkey Temple '' (Swayambhunath) and the Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is the one of the largest Stupa in the world. At noon there will be a travel discussion where you can meet your trekking guide and other team members.
After breakfast, we head towards Syabrubesi, leaving Kathmandu, which is also a starting point for a trek in the Langtang valley. Your trip will be on a winding road through frequent turns. On a clear day, you can enjoy great views of Manaslu, Annapurna, and Ganesh Himal. You will continue until you descend to the small village of Syabrubesi, the starting point of your trekking trip. Overnight stay in Syabrubesi.
From the fourth day, we will organize an official trek to Gatlang through the village of Goljung. The path that you follow will bring you to the majestic views of mountains like Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Shishapangma, and many other fascinating landscapes. When you arrive in Gatlang, you can explore and immerse ourselves in the beauty of this small ethnic settlement of the Tamang people. It is the first day of the beautiful walking experience on the Tamang Heritage Trail.
On the second day on the Tamang Heritage Trail takes you to Tatopani. Although the trek goes higher, the first section of the section goes down. You passed a hydroelectric dam in Chilime, and then you started walking towards Tatopani. However, Tatopani is distinguished by its name as a natural hot spring; the hot springs are no longer there after the earthquake that shook Nepal in April 2015.
Today you are walking from Tatopani to Thuman via Brimdang and Nagthali. Crossing the dense alpine forest, you arrive at the small village of Brimdang. From there, it is a few hour's walks to Nagthali hill. Here you enjoy the fascinating views of Langtang, Sanjen, Kerung, and Ganesh Himal. Then descend the village of Thuman to spend the night here.
Today you are walking towards Briddim from Thuman via Lingling. Briddim is ideally located in the lap of the Langtang Himal. Here Briddim is a Tibetan Buddhist village, ideally situated on the lap of the Langtang Himal. Here you visit the monastery of Dukchu Gomba. In Briddim, you will find that most of the houses are built of stone and mostly inhabited by people of Tibetan origin. Briddim looks like a typical Tibetan village on this side of Tibet.
Today you are walking from Briddim to the Lama hotel. The walking descends to Ghopche Khola, which is a small stream. You then go up to the Lama Hotel via Rimche. It is located on the banks of the Langtang River, lush forests, and spectacular mountain views surround the lama Hotel. Night stay at the Lama hotel.
After breakfast, you begin your journey to the village of Langtang. Your path continues along dense forests. After climbing the valley regularly, you left the tree line behind us. Along the way, you also took in the magnificent view of Langtang Lirung, passing water mills, prayer wheels, and chortens adorned with heaps of sacred rocks with inscriptions engraved on them.
After breakfast, we leave the community of Langtang and cross the yak meadows. Today we also pass the most giant mani wall in Nepal, which is made of stone with prayers written on it. The prayers on the mani wall are believed to have been spread by strong winds. Several wooden bridges are crossed before reaching Kanjin Gompa, which is beautifully surrounded by the mighty Himalayas. You can take a stroll through Kanjin Gompa, enjoying an impressive view of the glaciers, waterfalls, birds, and yaks.
Today, we walk back to the Lama hotel. Since the hike is only downhill, it will only take you 4 to 5 hours to reach your destination. It is a downhill hike through the forests and along a beautiful mountain river. On the way, you cross the ethnic colonies of the Tamang people whose religious and cultural practices are similar to those of the Tibetans.
Today is the last day of trekking. After breakfast, you will walk to Syabrubensi, which will be a leisurely walk through lush green vegetation. After arriving at Syabrubesi, you enjoyed lunch and celebrated the end of your trip.
After enjoying this beautiful trek rich in cultural experiences, you will return to Kathmandu by bus. You will have a scenic bus trip along the Trishuli River. You will enjoy the beautiful view of the hills, mountains, terraces along the way. You cross many beautiful villages to reach Kathmandu. After you arrive in Kathmandu, you will rest in your hotel or take a stroll through the streets of Thamel, a famous tourist center for souvenir shopping.
Your Nepal trip ends here. We take you to the airport for your connecting flight to the next destination. However, if you wish to stay more in Nepal or travel to another destination, you can let us know.

Essential Information

Travel
insurance for all of our company's itineraries is a condition of booking a
holiday. You must have at least a health and repatriation insurance for
emergencies, which includes the costs of mountain rescue. Please read the
general conditions of your insurers carefully; in particular, you must ensure
that the following are covered: 1) Activity (i.e., sightseeing, hiking, or
mountaineering) 2) Maximum altitude reached during the trek 3) Evacuation by
helicopter in case of emergency. You should understand that ultimately, you
will be responsible for all expenses incurred in the evacuation and
repatriation procedures and that you are responsible for paying the costs
incurred in case of evacuation or medical treatment. You must be aware of the
implications of organizing your travel insurance and understand the limitations
and exclusions of your policy. Please note that in certain circumstances, our
company guide may initiate rescue procedures by helicopter in medical emergencies
without first contacting your insurance company for approval.
Trekking guide (s) and other staff
arrangements
The most
important thing that makes this trip enjoyable and memorable is the trained,
experienced, courteous, and helpful guide (s) and crew, able to lead your days
in the mountains without any hassle. The best and most professional leaders
will lead your journey. All guides of our company are carefully selected based
on their appropriate experience, leadership skills, and personal aptitudes. To
support local communities, we try to employ only local staff who have adequate
knowledge of the culture, ecosystem, flora, fauna, geography, and history of
their region.
Climate and best season for trekking
The spring
and fall seasons are considered the best times for Tamang Heritage Trek because
the climate and temperature are calm and constant in these seasons. The spring
months offer rhododendron and many seasonal flowers. Autumn is also the best
time to explore and enjoy the various Nepalese festivals like Dashain and
Tihar.
Winter and
summer are less suitable seasons than spring and fall. In winter, the
temperature level drops below zero, making walking in higher regions less
comfortable. The days are cold, followed by episodes of snowfall and
snowstorms. Likewise, summer is accompanied by heavy rain and unpredictable
weather conditions. However, with the right gears, you can walk around the
Langtang region all year round.
Physical condition and experience
Tamang
Heritage Trek is a moderate trek, and it is suitable for passionate hikers who
can hike about 5 to 7 hours a day with a light backpack. Walking at high
altitude is more physically demanding than walking at low elevations; however,
if we are in excellent health with the average physical condition and have a positive
attitude, self-confidence, and strong determination, you can achieve this goal.
Exercising and running regularly for a few weeks before the trip is an
excellent idea to improve our strength and stability. Previous hiking
experience would be a bonus, but no technical skill is required for this trip.
It is essential that participants with pre-existing medical conditions, such as
heart, lung, and blood diseases, consult your doctor before traveling. It is
also recommended to inform us of your state of health before booking the trek.
Suggested preparation
Cardiovascular exercises
that include running, biking, jogging, pull-ups, and pull-ups for about 4-5
days a week for three months before your trip are beneficial.
You must
also participate in the development of necessary strength and muscular
endurance during bodybuilding.
Walking on
the hills in different weather conditions will be proper preparation for this
trip.
If you have access, kayaking and swimming can
be a very beneficial way to build the strength and endurance needed for this
trip.
The Tamang Heritage Trek is classified as a trek at the
beginner level. It does not require any previous trekking experience as it is
quite easy compared to our other treks. However, our travel experts will give a
short briefing so that our travelers are aware of possible consequences and
safety precautions.

A Breathtaking view not to be missed: Tamang Heritage Trek Review
My third
hike in Nepal. The Tamang Heritage Trail was definitely a highlight. Mr. Kishor
organized our trip and he was perfect and tailored the itinerary to our needs.
During the trek through the villages we learned a lot about the Tamang way of
life, the landscape is magnificent and the ascent to Taruche is recommended.
The Himalayan view was extraordinary.
The team of
guides and porters were very knowledgeable, caring, prepared and always up for
fun. Many thanks to Rabin and Dil Kumar for this wonderful trip.
Kishor is a
knowledgeable, very dedicated, flexible, polite and personable trekking
organizer. I can only recommend him and hope to be part of one of his tours
again. Thank you very much for everything
