Tamang Heritag Trek
Overview
Langtang Tamang heritage trekking is one of the most interesting cultural trekking routes in the Langtang region as it immerses a trekker in the daily lives of the Tamang people. You will see terraces created over centuries by the Tamang who migrated from Tibet long ago. They also raise sheep, goats, cattle and yak in the area. The forest views and streams surround you most days as you ascend to a gorgeous 360 degree viewpoint. We depart from the gateway city of Syabrubesi heading toward and through the small communituies of Lama Hotel, Bamboo, Kyanjin gompa, Thulo syabru, Singgompa, Goshaikunda, Gatlang, Tatopani, Thuman, and Briddim.
The Langtang Tamang Heritage trekking route is a longer, moderate trek with a great chance to experience the culture and traditions of the local Tamang villagers.
