Tamang Heritage Trail Trekking is an exclusive scenic country walk around the high hills. On this trek, we adventure around the Ganesh and Langtang Himal ranges, close to the border between Nepal and Tibet.
That said, our route diverts from the main trail that links the borders. Rather than following the trail, we head higher and explore the interesting Tamang villages.
This journey lets us experience the simplistic and happy rural village life. Within these villages, we can experience ancient traditions and colorful Buddhist Tamang customs.
Tamang are an indigenous mountain tribe and they mostly populate Langtang and Ganesh Himal region. Along with this they also populate Kathmandu. That said, they originate from inner Mongolia and the Tibetan region around Nepal.
At present, the Tamang are the 4th most abundant population of Nepal. The name Tamang originates from the Tibetan language where it means the Horse-men or horse-herders. This is because back in the days, Tamang tribe used to be associated with cavalry. Along with this, Tamang are well known for being professional craftsman, and farmers. You can witness their expertise in farming and craftsmanship during this trek.
The main Tamang villages in this trek include the tribes in Syabrubesi, Galtang, Tatopani, Thuman and Briddim. This also includes areas of Dhunche which is a major town and headquarter of Rasuwa district of Langtang Himal region. After a wonderful journey, our adventure concludes after heading back to Syabrubesi. From this point, we take a scenic drive back to Kathmandu.
