Overview
The Tamang Heritage Trail is a newly discovered cultural trek that takes you through numerous Tamang villages, granting an authentic insight into the untouched traditional Lifestyle of the locals. Apart from the Tibetan Buddhist culture of the locals, the prime attractions of this trip include spectacular views of Ganesh Himal and the Langtang range, along with a rare natural hot spring at Tatopani village.
The Tamang Heritage trek beings north of Kathmandu from Syabrubesi. We make our way through Gatlang to reach the hot spring village of Tatopani, where we will spend a day relaxing in the warm waters. Rejuvenated, we march on through Nagthali and Thuman to reach our homestay at Briddim. We continue past Lama Hotel, into the Langtang valley, and eventually reach Kyangjin Gompa, where we will spend a day try to acclimatize. Once we've used the thinning air, we make our way through Thulo Syabru and Sin Gompa to reach the holy Gosainkunda Lake. We enjoy splendid views of Annapurna, Ganesh, Manaslu, and Langtang, among other ranges at Gosainkunda, and resume on our trail the next day. We cross the Laure Binayak pass next and arrive at Chisapani. Our journey comes to an end as we descend downhill from Chisapani to Sundarijal.
Over the Tamang Heritage trek course, you will be able to closely interact with the unique Tamang culture and Lifestyle and possibly even observe the traditional Syabru and Khamba dances. You will also come across numerous prayer flags and wheels, chortens, and mani stones on the path. Apart from the cultural aspect, this trail is also quite rich in terms of biodiversity. The valleys nearby are home to red pandas, leopards, bears, and musk deer, while the higher hills look almost like a sea of rhododendron when they are in full bloom.
The Tamang Heritage trail is a moderate difficulty trail that is welcoming to both first-timers as well as veterans. Regardless of experience, you will be able to enjoy the natural and cultural beauty of this trail.
