The Tamang-Heritage-Trekking begins with driving from Kathmandu to Syafru Beshi and runs through the attractive and lush Langtang Valley with stunning vistas of Langtang and Ganesh Himal. Villages on the route are inhabited by Tamang people, closely connected to Tibetans, and so the culture is Buddhist with a good scattering of prater wheels, chortens, prayer flags, and mani stones together with the trials. Even Though located in a district badly hit by the April 2015 earthquake, this heritage trail was hardly impacted at all and re-launched to tourists three months after the quake and remains an area of amazing attractiveness and culture. Hence, the trek takes in Tatopani (literally ‘hot water in Nepali) in which there used to be warming hot springs. The hot springs have sadly vanished after the earthquake.
The Tamang Heritage Trail lies in what was previously a restricted area close to the Tibet border and was launched to tourists lately. The people in this region have a culture, tradition, and religion which goes back hundreds of years, and the craftsmanship, dress, and stone-mud houses are testimony of this ages old background. So, too is Kyanjin Gompa where the atmosphere is peaceful as only a Buddhist monastery can be, and where the amazing peak vistas cannot support but add incredibly to the experience! For those who are interested in anthropology and also trekking, this Tamang-Heritage-Trekking is the perfect trek. The route travels around the villages of the Tamang ethnic people who are believed to have migrated from Tibet centuries ago. Before the route was under the restricted part of Nepal. Since its launching, it has been captivating many trekkers and tourists.
The affluence of natural and cultural attractions in which the trekker finds the place has made this trekking the assorted desolate path adventure. Taking part in the cultural program and exchanging the rituals and also intercultural events would be great for anthropological understanding too. Experience the abundance of Himalayan Mountain vistas of Langtang, Langtang Lirung, Ghantempo, and other Himalayan ranges together with the charming traditions of Lamas/Tamangs/Moktans in the destination.
