TAMANG HERITAGE TRAIL combining Langtang and Tserko Ri (4984m)

The government recently authorized the Tamang Heritage Trail for tourists before it was forbidden. It is an ideal way to explore authentic ethnicity and discover the heritage culture and traditions of the indigenous peoples which belongs to the Tibetan -Nepalese group. Mostly these groups settled at the territorial of Kathmandu and northern border with Tibet.

The area is situated northwest of Kathmandu and southwest of Langtang Valley. The trek can be organized as a combined Langtang Valley trek and accommodation will be a homestay and lodge.

The valley offers pine forest, swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow-capped peaks, grassy downs, and meadows strewn with daisies and wild primrose. It is a moderate circuit. The people are Buddhists and their main occupation is agriculture and trade with Tibet. We can notice the influence of Tibet. The Tamang women wear beautiful ornament of precious stones and colorful dresses, which reminds us of Tibet. In April and March, the forest is reddish with the  Rhododendron flower which is also the national flower of Nepal. With the majestic view of Langtang and Ganesh Himalayan range. The valley is also a paradise for wild animals like leopards, red pandas, and musk deer.
