The Tamang Heritage Trail Trek is one of our favorite treks and we’d be delighted to help you explore this impressive region in Nepal.

Tamang Heritage Trail Trek is one of the short, easy & lesser-traveled trails that rewarded the trekking experience with a strong focus on local Tamang culture and lifestyle. It is the nearest trekking destination from Kathmandu that gives an idea of ancient lifestyles, offers stunning sceneries, and relaxing and healing baths in natural hot springs. The trail offers a panoramic view of the Langtang portion of the Himalayas, including Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and also the views of the mountains on the Tibetan side of the border. Based between Ganesh Himal and Langtang range, the trail goes across the villages inhabited by Tamang communities. There is a history of trade and cultural exchange enriched with the local culture and the ritual practices on the border of Nepal and Tibet. Used by ancient traders to trade daily-used commodities such as salt and meat with Tibet, the unbeaten trail now explores the classic Tamang village that conserves handicraft skills, cultures, and traditions. One of the highlights of this trek is the opportunity for a homestay in the village of Briddim. The trek is ideal for those sensitive to high altitudes and who want to experience the high Himalayas because the high elevation is 3600m only. Tamang Heritage Trek Trail passes through Langtang National Park where we observe numerous species of flora and fauna. The wildlife includes leopards, bears, red panda, and musk deer and the flora includes rhododendron, pine forest, lush vegetations, and seasonable flowers.

The trip starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Gatlang passing through Trisuli Bazar. We will observe the views of Ganesh Himal and the ranges of Langtang. Gradually with several ups, downs and passes drive brings us to Gatlang. Gatlang is one of the incredible villages to experience. We will observe local customs and traditions, chat with locals, and shop for locally produced handicrafts. The next day, head to Tatopani famous for hot spring water pools. At Tatopani enjoy the healing hot-springs particularly rewarding experience after the trek. The next day the walk is downhill to Nagthali Gyang. From here we will climb up a gentle ascend and the journey will offer you the pleasant views of various landscapes, ridges of Langtang, Gosainkunda, etc. Then we will hike to Taruche's viewpoint spot. The journey offers an incredible experience of Ganesh Himal ranges, birds, ample Himalayas of Tibet, villages, and outstanding landscapes of Tibet. After we will continue to Thuman. Thuman is a large village where locals live according to their old Buddhist traditional lifestyle, and has ancient monasteries and traditional wood-carved houses. The next day's journey begins with descending through bushes trail till, alpines and rhododendrons forest Lingling village. After we climb to Briddim through Pelko village.
