Langtang Valley Tamang Heritage trekking is a combination of nature and culture in the Langtang region. The trek starts up to the Glacier formed an alpine landscape wide valley. That offers a unique experience of Nature, Buddhist cultural tradition, and adventures in the Himalayas. The wide range of sky-touching mountains panorama of yak pastoral landscape, Glacier moraine to mind-blowing viewpoint Tserku Ri at 5,030m at Langtang valley then cultural trek begins to Primitive Tamang heritage as well as a distinctive natural paradise. Tamangs are one of the most marginalized ethnic groups in Nepal. They retain a distinct identity with Tibetan roots.

The ancestors of the Tamang ethnic originally came from Tibet as Trans- -Himalayan traders thousands of years ago. They primarily brought salt from Tibet and exchanged it with grains in Nepal. Ta means horse and Mang means searcher in the Tibetan language which means an ethnic who were doing trades by riding horses derived from TAMANG today. They were nomadic Trans- -Himalayan traders and settled in the hilly region of Nepal.

Tamang practices Buddhism however some of their culture is mixed with Hindu tradition. They have their own unique ceremonies, language, customs, arts, and music. Tungna is a very popular musical instrument among the Tamang community. Most of the villages around Kathmandu and Rasuwa district are covered by the Tamang ethnic group. There is a heavy density of Tamang people in most of the villages around the Tamang heritage area. The way of life, ancient design of he household, hospitality, and friendly atmosphere are enjoyable harvesting for being around here. Sadly, they were among the worst affected groups during the 2015 earthquake. Because of the devastating earthquake natural Hot springs at Tatopani have vanished away. Being there means supporting and helping income generation in the affected community.

Itinerary

After your breakfast drive to the bus station and then drive to Shyabrubesi by overland drive, it may take about 7/8 hours, however, while driving you will see many different landscapes, cultures, and traditions and will experience Nepalese culture, and life closely.

After morning breakfast follows the Langtang river bank with a spectacular view of the Jungle, river, and local culture. Lunch in Bamboo on the way you also see the wild bee hive on the other side of the River.

Following the gradual way up from the pine forest, oak, rhododendron, and many other floras with Shy Mountain Langtang two, in front and tremendously beautiful natural view around you make the day important. 

A Local Man

Having a panoramic view of Mt. Langtang and other natural diversities makes your day more interesting and exciting. After a nice breakfast, the way starts easy uphill to Kyangjing Gomba by following the Langtang Valley.  You arrive in Kyanjing by lunch and take a noon time excursion around the cheese factory or glacier moraine.

A little earlier breakfast is better for today. Take your packed lunch and enough water for your final and important excursion to Tserku ri 5030mtr. Climbing up will be challenging however the views from the top will be lifetime unforgettable. 

Excursion

Descending continuously via Langtang village, Ghoda tabela, Riverside to Lamahotel through the Langtang river bank.

Walking in through pine forest, narrow hilly pass to Sherpa gaun and Khangjim village. The trail goes through terraced fields where local people cultivate mostly potatoes, barley, and wheat. The trail is very scenic until you arrive at a big ancient village Briddim. Overnight at a good hotel

Follow the trail descending via a small beautiful Tibetan-looking village to Riverside. Cross a mysterious suspension bridge and steadily climb through the pine forest up to Thuman village. Make an excursion around Thuman and start your trek toward Nagthali anda. We recommend Nagthali Danda for overnight because of the beauties of paradise but climbing from Riverside to the hotel is strongly demanding climbing for the day.

Thuman

The trail is mostly relaxing today via terraced field, chilime hydropower center, and the trail up to the river stream valley to Ghatlang. A gradual hike through the beautiful forest leads you long spreaded terraced field with plenties of Old Maane and Stupas. Rough roads have been expanded in this field that had shortened the zigzag trail however you can see so many old standing stupas alongside. The Stupas and Maane wall side was a former major passing trail around this area.

Gatlang to Shyabrubesi is quite easy trekking along the rough road. Walking through the joyful jungle to Goljung bhanja is so amazing. From Goljung Bhanjyang we descend until we arrive at the hotel. You have free noon time and evening will be farewell dinner.
