Tamang Heritage Trek

Tamang Heritage Trek is a cultural trek through Tamang villages in Langtang with beautiful panoramas of Ganesh and Langtang Range. The verdant midland villages of Nepal, the beautiful mountains, and the culture of the people here are on show in Tamang Heritage Trek.

Tamang Heritage Trail passes through the traditional Tamang village where their culture (here, they are of Tibetan origin which is different to Tamang from anywhere else in Nepal) has remained unchanged since the beginning of human settlement. Warm and welcoming hosted locals, their elaborate costumes, the rich architecture of their mountain houses, the ancient monasteries, and places of prayer make you feel different during this trek. In addition, this not only provides a cultural experience but also offers beautiful landscapes of alpine terrain, flat meadows, and rhododendron forests.

Tamang Heritage Trek starts from Gatlang and visits Chilime, Thuman, Timure, and Briddim. The trail may end at Syabrubesi or follow the Langtang trek from Briddim village via Khamjim. One can visit a Tamang monastery and the beautiful Parvati Kunda (Kunda means a holy lake) at Gatlang. Goljung has an ancient monastery the oldest one in Tamang Heritage Trek. From the viewpoint at Bahundanda, one can see a panorama of Langtang (7227 meters), Ganesh Himal (7422 meters), and Sanjen Himal Ranges. Bathing in the hot, healing waters of the natural spring at Tatopani en route from Gatlang to Chilime is another highlight of the Tamang Heritage Trek.

Tamang heritage Trail trek in Langtang

Hello Himal and Team; This short Tamang Heritage trek is engraved in our hearts forever. We will never forget the sincereness of the people, who are so warm-hearted and so hospital. We also will remember the great and wide sceneries and the inviting guesthouses with their lovely meals. But also to be surrounded by silentness which gives you the feeling of being really far away from a hectic and stressful civilization. We are very independent travellers so it’s always a question if you get along with your guide.

But we could not have been more luckier than with Rajan. We like to thank Rajan for his joyful and always positive radiation, his knowledge, his helping hand, and for being attentive every moment. Suresh for his lovely smile and his silent force. And Himal for being a beautiful warm and professional person. Thank you so much and we really hope to see you all again!!! Jacqueline Vissers and Lex from the Netherlands 5th March 2015.

On recommendation booked with visit Himalaya Treks.
The first contact was via the mail. What a service! Quick response and everything was arranged when I came to the agency. Together with guide Lok, we did the tamang heritage trail and Gosaikunda. This was totally super. Good combination of culture and nature. To bad that there are fewer tourists after the earthquake. Because the villages are still beautiful (different but still details left) and the Tamang people are lovely. The days varied from 5 to 6 hours.

This was perfect because we had time in the afternoon to visit things or just to rest. Thank you Lok and visit Himalaya Treks. I would definitely make another booking in the future. Marleen Timmers from Nederland 29th Nov, 2017 Really nice people en amazing trekking.
