This is a part of Langtang Region which is located next to the Langtang valley. People living in this region are originally from Tibet who migrated across the border long ago.
Tamang Heritage Trail comprises an off-beat trail and allows you to venture deep into the Tamang hinterland. Tamang Heritage Trail is possible to conduct in two ways: separately or in conjugation with other trails. Most of the trekkers combine Tamang Heritage trek with other trails like Langtang valley Trek and Gosaikunda trekking.
This spectacular trek starts from Syabrubesi and follows the route of Gatlang, Tatopani, Thuman and Briddim. Set high on a hillside, Gatlang is a picturesque Tamang settlement. Tamang Buddhist Monastery and Parvatikunda Lake are the major attractions of Gatlang. Soothing a natural hot spring at Tatopani-Gatlang trail is an exhilarating experience. Thuman is familiar for Shamanic performance and Briddim offers riveting cultural experience along with delightful overnight at community run home-stay.
Moreover, travelers get the opportunity to pay homage at Dukchu Gomba monastery which once was worshiped by Rinpoche and Chukla Khnaga Gomba. Tamangs are well-known as horse traders and considered as one of oldest tribes in Nepal. The dominating view of soaring peaks like Manaslu, Ganesh, Langtang Lirung and Jugal Himal fascinates the trail. The difficulty of Tamang Heritage Trail is a bit of an odd-ball. The distance between the villages is a well-suited distance that takes around four hours. Tamang Heritage Trek is ideal for those seeking a closer look at Himalayan life that is less developed and explored.
