Only open to trekkers recently after long restriction Tamang Heritage Trail offers you the perfect blend of Himalayan beauty and the colorful lifestyle of the indigenous Tamang ethnic groups living alongside the highland Nepal-Tibet border.
The Tamangs Heritage Trail takes you to one of the newest trekking trails in the Langtang Region of Nepal. The Tamangs living in the region are direct descendants of Tibetan people who migrated to this part of Nepal centuries ago. Every village in the region is full of prosperous Tibetan culture that has been preserved for ages. This lesser-trodden trek holding scores of healing hot spring falls, natural beauty, and cultural experience in abundance is truly an introductory trek that unfolds a part of alpine beauty and a maximum of authentic highland culture.
Because the infrastructure for tourism is still in the growing phase, what you get in this part of Nepal is local and authentic. This trek leads you through the popular Tamang village where many ancient Gompas (Monasteries) and Buddhist mani stones (praying rocks) are set around the village and even along the walking trail. Witnessing the natives working to produce materials like mattresses and bamboo products, watching them cattle herding like a true cowboy, enjoying their nutritious organic foods, and experiencing the contrasting lifestyle are noteworthy highlights of Tamang Heritage Trek.
