Tamang Heritage Trail
A rich Tibetan culture of Tamang ethnic groups
Trip OverviewTamang 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.

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.
