Trip Overview

Tamang Heritage Trail Information

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.

Accommodation

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.
