Tamang Heritage Trekking

Upon your arrival to Kathmandu, be sure to check out the beautiful local temples and find your bearings. If you have the time, we recommend you spend an extra day here to acclimatise and explore the area before we depart on our trek.
Kathmandu has a lot to offer such as the Garden of Dreams, Patan Durbar Square, Kopan Monastery and many more.

Leave Kathmandu early in the morning for a seven-hour drive to the Langtang Valley. The winding road climbs up and provides spectacular landscape views of the Annapurnas, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal. Afterward, the road slopes downward to the lush, green Trisuli River Valley.

Stretch your legs by ascending to a viewpoint to see the spectacular Ganesh Himal, the Goljang Valley, and the Gosainkunda range. For an hour, descend to the Goljang Valley for lunch. In the afternoon, walk for approximately three hours to get to Gatlang, a lovely Tamang village.

Descend to Thangbuchet and enjoy the view of a beautiful river. After breaking for lunch, climb up, across a hanging bridge, and up some more to reach the town of Tatopani. The name “Tatopani” translates to “hot water” in Nepali, and fittingly so: here, you can enjoy the town’s natural hot springs, which locals believe to have a healing quality.

Ascend to Nagathali Danda, a high and open grassland where you’ll be able to view the Himalayas. On the way, you’ll stop at Brimdang village for a warm lunch. Upon arrival at Nagathali Danda, stop to drink a masala chiya, a special tea prepared by the gompa’s caretaker. Afterwards, continue downward to the Tamang village of Thuman, where its villagers love to sing and dance.

The flat trail eventually slopes downward so that you may descend to Timure, following part of the old trade route to Tibet. After lunch, continue on the trail to Briddim, which is another Tamang village. You’ll stay for the night in a local home. Since lodgings and food are offered at local homes on a rotational basis, you can rest assured that your stay is benefitting the entire community of Briddim.

Take a relaxing, three-hour walk down to Syabrubesi. After lunch, spend the afternoon resting or exploring the town. Syabrubesi sports a variety of shops selling local handicrafts, like colorful shawls and aprons.

We will drive back to Kathmandu passing stunning scenery so be sure to have your camera at the ready! Make use of your guide and ask any questions about Kathmandu you may have for your final day(s) not to miss out on anything. Enjoy the last few hours with your group and please note that gratuity is not included in the trek.

As you depart from Nepal we wish you safe travels and hope to see you again. We hope you have enjoyed your time with us and have come away feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your trek.
