Tamang Heritage Trail is one of the few treks of Nepal countable in your hand. Does Tamang Heritage trek mean it does not have value? This is the trek that got its name from the last name of the local people. They are the ones who live on the hills, in the valley, and near the snow-clad mountains, but now, some of their generations live in the city, and as you follow the uphill and the downhill of this trek, you become breathless, still you do not like to complain because of the most beautiful nature. You appreciate them from the bottom; you are in the unknown area, and you smile, looking at them in the strange land for the first time in your life. You are not only limited to this, and there, you will know the culture and traditions, and the most beautiful mountain that millions search on Google. This beautiful mountain is isolated from the rest of the world but lies in the preserved Langtang National Park. This park is not all about this because it is also a museum to study the heritages of Tamangs.
In this park, there are scenic trekking trails which will take you near the lake, not an ordinary one, but the one which the people give value from the religious point of view. The name of this lake may be difficult to pronounce for you because their names are Parvathi Kunda, Bhairav Kunda, and Dudh Kunda. In front of these lakes are the mountains, such as Langtang, Ganesh, and Jugal.
In Kathmandu, you are going to stay at the 3-star category hotel (Value). During trekking, you will spend your night in a tea house. The tea house is a lodge or a guest house. The tea house is an old name for a lodge because trekkers and climbers gave this name 40 years ago. After all, it used to sell only tea then. Now they also sell meals as well as provide bedrooms for the trekkers and climbers. The old name tea house is still used by the trekking agencies in Nepal. Hence, the name tea house trek. Tea house differs from village to village where you are going to spend your night. Some have attached bathrooms as well as running a hot water facility, while others have only basic facilities, that is, you have to share a toilet and a bathroom with others. This is so because they are located at a high altitude and the remotest area. Some provide dormitory-style accommodation, but they also provide you a bed, a pillow, a blanket, and a bedsheet still, you must have your sleeping bag.

Today, you will visit Pashupatinath, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located on the bank of the Bagmati. It is one of the sacred temples of the Hindus. Only the Hindus are allowed to enter this temple. From a distance, you will have good visibility of Pashupatinath. Sometimes, the Hindu rituals take place on the bank of the river; you might see this. Boudhanath Stupa is one of the biggest stupas you will see in your life. People belonging to all religions can visit this stupa.
From the capital of Nepal, you head off to a village called Shyaphru Besi on a bus. From the highway, and from the window of the bus, you will see green hills as well as the Trishuli River which is well known for rafting. The bus takes you to Dhunche, another prominent village. On the way to this village as well as earlier, there are terraced fields that have rice and maize plantations. Also what you see is the view of Ganesh Himal, a snow-covered mountain, and the smooth highway up to Shyaphru Besi becomes rough.
You walk through Goljung Village, enjoying the view of these mountains for the first time like Ganesh Himal, Shishapangma, and Langtang Lirung. On the way, you will reach a viewpoint from where you can see the most satisfying view of these mountains; it is just like seeing from the air. From the viewpoint, you will follow a downhill trail. It was the same viewpoint that makes you exhausted. You will become exhausted as you walk uphill trekking trail to Gatlang. This is a small village on a hillside with traditional stone houses. They will impress you with their designs, and Gatlang is a village of the Tamang people. These people welcome you by putting Khada. They have a monastery, and from their village, you can see Parvathi Kunda.
At first, you descend to Thambuchet, a village and from there, you will enjoy the magnificent view of Ganesh Himal and the Langtang Ranges. Then, you come across the Chilime Hydropower dam and ascend until Tatopani, a place with a hot spring. You will trek along the Bhote Koshi River, and you will cross one of the important rivers of Nepal through a hanging bridge. The hot spring has a healing quality that eases away your aches and pains, and it is just like taking a bath in the lap of the mountains.
Today, you trek to Thuman via Brimdang and Nagthali, the two prominent villages; Thuman is famous for Shamanic performances and the beautiful view of the Langtang Ranges. You walk in a dense alpine forest; you walk uphill until you reach the hill called Nagthali. From there, you enjoy the stunning view of the mountains, such as Langtang, Sanjen, Kerung, and Ganesh Himal. Nagthali which is a hill is open grassland. From this hill, further down trekking trail takes you to another village of the Tamang people. Nagthali also shows you the panoramic view of mountains, such as Langtang, Kerung, Ganesh Himal, and the Sanjen Ranges.
First, you walk on a flat trekking trail, and then on a descending trekking trail; the combination of pain and relief. On the way, you come across a village called Timure; it is on the old trade route to Tibet. A fort here is a historical reminder of the Nepal Tibetan relations that have existed for many centuries. This relation also connects to Briddim, a Tibetan Buddhist village, and is located on the lap of the Langtang Himal. It has Dukchu Gompa, a monastery. In Briddim, many houses are built of stones; it resembles a typical Tibetan village; enjoy eating Tibetan bread, Syakpa (Sherpa Stew), Tibetan tea, and Briddim wine.
You follow up trekking trail and then descend to Ghopche Khola which is a small stream. On the way, you will walk in a forest, and you will come to see a wild boar, a Langur (monkey), and a wild beehive. Again, you will follow up trekking trail and reach Rimche, a village. From there, you head to Lama Hotel; you follow the trekking trail that goes uphill, and you also walk on the trekking trail that goes downhill. This combination takes you to an oak and rhododendron forest. Rhododendron is the national flower of Nepal. As you trek further from this rhododendron forest, you will come across a suspension bridge over the river, and from its end, you follow ascending trekking trail, a hard uphill which will take you to the place that you can rest. You reach Lama Hotel; it is located on the bank of the Langtang River and is surrounded by lush forests and shows the panoramic view of the mountains like a dream comes true.
There is an uphill trail. Walking on it, you will see the magnificent view of the mountains; you will also come across beautiful waterfalls. On the way, there is a pasture in a place called Ghoda Tabala which in the Nepali language means a horse stable. From there, you will see the stunning view of Langtang Himal. Seeing this, you will trek through small villages, meet herders, and visit a Buddhist monastery. These are in the valley, and in this valley, there is also a village called Langtang, not only one of the oldest villages, but also a village that offers the stunning view of the mountains.
After you have your breakfast, you walk uphill. As you walk further, you come to a village called Mundu as well as Sindum and Yamphu. You will also come across water mills, prayer wheels, and Chortens which are the places of worship for the Buddhists; you will also climb a moraine which is a viewpoint. From there you not only see the stunning view of Langtang Lirung, but also the breath-taking icefall. After seeing these, you will reach where you will see engraved on the largest mani wall of Nepal. From there, you move to Kyanjin Gompa which has Kyanjin Ri, a viewpoint of 4000 m plus.
Descending is full of fun, but tiring. With exhaustion, you follow the trekking trail that goes all the way downhill from Lama Hotel, seeing the beautiful snow-clad mountains. Walk downhill slowly because there is no ascending trekking trail. This walk will pay you off because the view of the mountains keeps on coming to your eyes, for example, Langtang Lirung and others, and you will be in the middle of natural beauties.
Today is the last day of the Tamang Heritage Trail. After breakfast, you trek down to Shyaphru Besi, and the trek is easy through a lush forest. On the way, you come across villages called Sherpagaon, Bhanjyanggaon, and Khanjim. After reaching Syabrubesi, you will have your lunch.
You take an early bus to Kathmandu, the city of temples. From the highway and the window of the bus, you will see green hills as well as the Trishuli River which is well known for rafting. The bus takes you to Dhunche, another prominent village. On the way to this village as well as earlier, there are terraced fields that have rice and maize plantations. Also what you see is the view of Ganesh Himal, a snow-covered mountain. You pass through scenic countryside which consists of terraced land, streams, rivers, local settlements, and high hills. When you reach Kathmandu, you will check into a hotel.

Overall excellent with much personal attention by the Company Owner. Good guide and porter. 3 Passes trek had fewer folks than the standard EBC trek which was what I wanted and it worked out well. Renjo La Pass was the highlight with the best view of Everest.
In my 2 week stay, John was very professional and took me around to experience all that Kathmandu and surrounding areas has to offer. Sites were seen and many locals were met through John’s network. He is a kind man who will take care of any issue no matter how big or small. I highly recommend his company for any travel needs you may have.
I was in Nepal for the Everest Base Camp Trek. Outstanding sceneries and good hospitality. On the way to the base camp, I got an opportunity to visit Bthe uddhist monastery as well as got some information about Buddhism. That was great. Our guide and porter were awesome. Very kind and helpful. Thank you, TMG.
Trekking with Travel Max Guide was an amazing experience. My selection of a trip and the company were excellent and of a right decision. In each moment of my walk, I came across adventure and discovered something new. I remember my first step on the Everest Base Camp. The view was spectacular. Passing through the Sherpa communities and staying in Namche Bazaar is unforgettable. I miss the trip very much. Anyway, thank you so much for your service while I was in Nepal. See you next time for the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
Originally from the United State of America from the city of Los Angeles where life is busy and rush. I made a trip with TMG. It’s a new experience than I excepted. I found Nepalese people really welcoming. They really love tourists. While trekking in the Everest region, I got time to spend with nature, gained plenty of ideas of culture and tradition from the Himalayas. The trip was totally mind-blowing. TMG has a good team spirit and is dedicated to serving guest and trekkers.
Trekking is the most popular activity in Nepal, and travelers will be bombarded on the streets of Kathmandu and the trekking hub, with guides, organized tours and gear for sale or rent. The huge variety of options allows for people of many ages and capabilities to attempt a trek in the country. While you could spend a year planning an expedition to wild and lofty places that few would dare attempt, you could also arrive in Kathmandu with no plans and be on the trail in a matter of days. With eight of the top ten highest summits in the world and some of the most beautiful landscapes which are only reachable on foot, trekking in Nepal is one of the unique experiences.
Ensure you bring a copy of your travel insurance, a copy of your passport and 3 passport-sized photos. The fee for the Tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 30 days is US $ 40 and for the tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 90 days is the US $ 100. You have to pay these at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu.
It is an opportunity to combine challenging mountain trail, unique culture and stunning mountains that are famous in the world. Nepal is home to an incredible trek like Everest Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Langtang Trek, Manaslu Trek, Kanchenjunga Trek and many popular trekking routes that lead you to the wilderness. Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Base Camp trek are the world's famous and iconic.
February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November and December are typically for trekking in Nepal.
TMG does not expect previous trekking experience from you; however, all the treks that it organizes are physically demanding. It recommends starting an exercise before your trek date. Many of its trips are at a higher altitude, the minimum is 2,000 m, and the max is 5,000 m plus.
It is a sickness caused due to a lack of oxygen at an altitude of 2000 m plus. Please read up extensively on Altitude sickness. Be familiar with the symptoms and do not ignore them. Be sure to keep to a conservative ascent schedule and drink plenty of fluids. If you or anyone in your party begins to experience symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS), do not ascend any further, and if they do not improve, then descend to a lower altitude. Carry some Diamox (acetazolamide) pills, easily found in pharmacies in Nepal. Diamox forces the kidneys to excrete bicarbonate in the urine, therefore making the blood more acidic, which stimulates breathing, increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood. But note that Diamox is not an immediate fix for acute mountain sickness; it speeds up part of the acclimatization process which in turn helps to relieve symptoms. This may take up to a day or two, and requires waiting without any further rapid ascent. It is often advisable to descend if even mild acute mountain sickness is experienced. If serious sickness is encountered or symptoms of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) occur, descent with another trekker is A MUST. Please consult the pharmacist when purchasing Diamox and do your research. One major thing to remember is that the body requires large amounts of water at altitude to counteract sickness so be sure to drink more than you are used to!
Yes, it will operate on the day it is scheduled, except if is beyond our control, such as political issues and natural disaster that will create undesirable travel conditions.
Yes. We run from solo travel to group travel.
There is no age restriction.
All our trekking guides are certified as Wilderness First-Aid Course and have years of experience in the mountains.
Yes, it provides a helicopter to rescue you. TMG strongly recommends you for trip insurance at an altitude of 2,000 m to 5,000 m. Please read the insurance policy of your company. Bring a copy of your insurance paper to Nepal.
No, please tell us whether you are vegetarian or non-vegetarian. TMG will accommodate your diet that you wish to eat. We recommend a vegan diet because it provides more fiber, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds. They also appear to be richer in potassium, magnesium, folate and vitamins A, C and E.
It costs US $2 and the US $4 at the lower and the higher elevation respectively.
There are 33 mountain peaks in Nepal of 5,650 m- 6,500 m height classified as trekking peaks. Climbing permits for these peaks cost USD 350 for one to four members, an additional USD 40 each for the next four members and USD 25 each for the final four members. Trekking peaks require a qualified climbing guide, permits, and deposits to cover camp waste disposal.
A few of the common accommodation options while trekking in Nepal are Tea Houses (Lodges) which can be found at various points on the trek. They offer dorm room accommodation and simple basic meals reflective of what the local people in the area eat. Although many tea houses and hotels in the hills and mountains are reasonably comfortable, some may not be comfortable, so it makes sense to bring a sleeping bag even for teahouse treks. Camping is another option for trekkers and it can be conducted almost anywhere in the country. Camping treks can be fully organized and supported by a team of guides, cooks, and porters to accompany you. Homestays in local villages can also be organized in a few treks.
The treks in Nepal are suitable for a wide spectrum of experience and physical fitness. If you can walk uphill for a few hours each day, then you can find a suitable trek in Nepal. An easy trek with Nepali support (guide/porter) and teahouse accommodation is quite attainable for anyone who is reasonably fit. A longer trek, crossing high passes and into remote regions demands a higher degree of endurance. For Trekking Peaks, i.e. summiting a mountain of 5,650 m-6,500 m, it is desirable to have some alpine climbing experience.
Always carry a head torch/lamp, water, some food, and a mobile phone with helicopter evacuation number, local police station and nearby health post in case of emergencies.
Before the departures check that your travel insurance covers trekking activities and the conditions. Be aware that some insurance companies view even walking in the mountains as "mountaineering" and will not provide coverage. Most reputable trekking agencies will require proof of rescue insurance before you start on your trek. It would be very costly to pay a helicopter rescue at 5,000 meters. Some insurance policies, in fact, most, will not cover you over 4,000 m. So make sure about your rescue insurance before you go for trekking.
Trek legally. You need for this a Trekking Agency, the sole authorized to employ staff for foreign trekkers. Do not hire staff or "independent guides" through hotels, unless they have a Trekking Agent license or offer this service through an affiliated Trekking Agent. Please make sure you take all of your trash, including bottles and cans from goods consumed in restaurants, to the nearest dustbins. Pollution and lack of trash management in the villages on the treks - including trash-clogged rivers and mounds of discarded beer bottles.
It is a sickness caused due to a lack of oxygen at an altitude of 2000 m plus. It affects some trekkers easily, but to some, it does not. Out of 10, one is affected by Altitude Mountain Sickness. It can be life-threatening. Travel Insurance is a must.
It is an opportunity to combine challenging mountain trail, unique culture and stunning mountains that are famous in the world. It is also an opportunity to trek to the Everest Base Camp Trek and the Annapurna Base Camp, and other famous treks of Nepal are Langtang Trek, Manaslu Trek, Kanchenjunga Trek, and so on. It is also overcoming Altitude Mountain Sickness.
When you decide to trek, trek with a company that likes to take your responsibility, and that has licensed and experienced trekking guide. Please do not throw bottles in the river while you are trekking in a remote place.
During trekking, you will spend your night in a tea house. The tea house is a lodge or a guest house. The tea house is an old name for a lodge because trekkers and climbers gave this name 40 years ago because it used to sell only tea then. Now they also sell meals as well as provide bedrooms for the trekkers and climbers. The old name tea house is still used by the trekking agencies in Nepal. Hence, the name tea house trek. Tea house differs from village to village where you are going to spend your night. Some have attached bathrooms as well as running a hot water facility, while others have only basic facilities, that is, you have to share a toilet and a bathroom with others. This is so because they are located in a high altitude and the remotest area. Some provide dormitory-style accommodation, but they also provide you a bed, a pillow, a blanket, and a bedsheet still, you must have your own sleeping bag. Homestay trek is different from a tea house trek because, in the former, you will spend your night in a home and eat meals with the family members. It is just like staying in your own home.

Trek legally. If you trek independently, you are not allowed to take any staff by law. You need for this a Trekking Agency, the sole authorized to employ staff for foreign trekkers. Do not hire staff or “independent guides” through hotels, unless they have a Trekking Agent license or offer this service through an affiliated Trekking Agent. • Please make sure you take all of your trash, including bottles and cans from goods consumed in restaurants, to the nearest dustbins. Pollution and lack of trash management in the villages on the treks – including trash-clogged rivers and mounds of discarded beer bottles.
Before the departures check that your travel insurance covers trekking activities and the conditions. Be aware that some insurance companies view even walking in the mountains as “mountaineering” and will not provide coverage. Most reputable trekking agencies will require proof of rescue insurance before you start on your trek. It would be very costly to pay a helicopter rescue at 5000 meters. Some insurance policies, in fact, most, will not cover you over 4000m.
Always carry a head torch/lamp, water, some food, and a mobile phone with helicopter evacuation number, local police station and nearby health post in case of emergencies.
Please read up extensively on Altitude sickness. Be familiar with the symptoms and do not ignore them. Be sure to keep to a conservative ascent schedule and drink plenty of fluids. If you or anyone in your party begins to experience symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS), do not ascend any further, and if they do not improve, then descend to a lower altitude. Carry some Diamox (acetazolamide) pills, easily found in pharmacies in Nepal. Diamox forces the kidneys to excrete bicarbonate in the urine, therefore making the blood more acidic, which stimulates breathing, increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood. But note that Diamox is not an immediate fix for acute mountain sickness; it speeds up part of the acclimatization process which in turn helps to relieve symptoms. This may take up to a day or two, and requires waiting without any further rapid ascent. It is often advisable to descend if even mild acute mountain sickness is experienced. If serious sickness is encountered or symptoms of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) occur, descent with another trekker is A MUST. Please consult the pharmacist when purchasing Diamox and do your own research. One major thing to remember is that the body requires large amounts of water at altitude to counteract sickness so be sure to drink more than you are used to!
The treks in Nepal are suitable for a wide spectrum of experience and physical fitness. If you can walk uphill for a few hours each day, then you can find a suitable trek in Nepal. An easy trek with Nepali support (guide/porter) and teahouse accommodation is quite attainable for anyone who is reasonably fit. A longer trek, crossing high passes and into remote regions demands a higher degree of endurance. For Trekking Peaks, i.e. summiting a mountain of 5650-6500m, it is desirable to have some alpine climbing experience.
Few of the common accommodation options while trekking in Nepal are Tea Houses (Lodges) which can be found at various points on the trek. They offer dorm room accommodation and simple basic meals reflective of what the local people in the area eat. Although many tea houses and hotels in the hills and mountains are reasonably comfortable, some may not be comfortable, so it makes sense to bring a sleeping bag even for teahouse treks. Camping is another option for trekkers and it can be conducted almost anywhere in the country. Camping treks can be fully organized and supported with a team of guides, cooks, and porters to accompany you. Homestays in local villages can also be organized in few treks.
There are 33 mountain peaks in Nepal of 5,650-6,500m height classified as trekking peaks. Climbing permits for these peaks cost USD 350 for one to four members, an additional USD 40 each for the next four members and USD 25 each for the final four members. Trekking peaks require a qualified climbing guide, permits and deposits to cover camp waste disposal.
The best seasons for trekking are the dry and warm seasons, March-June and September-November. The temperature is bearable and skies are usually clear in these seasons, although the skies are foggier and the rain begins in May-June. It is possible to trek out of season, but you have to be ready for the occasional rain and leeches along the way. During the monsoon season and winters, the treks are virtually emptier.
Trekking is the most popular activity in Nepal, and travelers will be bombarded on the streets of Kathmandu and the trekking hub, Pokhara, with guides, organized tours, and gear for sale or rent. The huge variety of options allows for people of many ages and capabilities to attempt a trek in the country. While you could spend a year planning an expedition to wild and lofty places that few would dare attempt, you could also arrive in Kathmandu with no plans and be on the trail in a matter of days. With eight of the top ten highest summits in the world and some of the most beautiful landscapes which are only reachable on foot, trekking in Nepal is one of the unique experiences.
