Tamang Heritage & Langtang Valley Trek

Discover sacred culture and incredible natural landscapes as you venture deep into Tamang hinterland along the quiet Tamang Heritage Trail (restricted until 2004). On this 15-day trek, you’ll explore the wilds of Langtang National Park, uncover surprisingly verdant midlands and stay in villages that will teach you about the local culture. Connect with locals, share stories and fill your days with exhales (both in exhaustion and in awe). All this, paired with the soaring views of Manaslu Massif, Ganesh, Langtang and Jugal Himal. This trek is perfect for the adventurous and active traveller looking for something different well off the tourist trail. ALTERNATE ITINERARY: Due to the nature of trekking in Nepal, please be aware that this trip will operate on an amended itinerary in the event of high-risk weather conditions.

Trip Highlights

Discover forests filled with monkeys, scenic ice-capped peaks, plateaued grasslands and epic mountains in Nepal’s seldom-seen Tamang hinterland.
Follow trails that run through villages and local communities, instead of teahouses built for tourists, which means you’ll gain real insight into what life’s like in these remote areas.
Stay overnight in a family-run homestay in Briddim, sharing stories, feasting on traditional home cooking and sleeping in a comfortable wooden home.
Hike to a 100-year-old monastery in the village of Gatlang, then head out to find Parvati Kunda – a sacred lake revered for its apparent powers of fertility.
Learn about the Himalayas from your experienced local crew, and hike easier in the knowledge that you’re with a company who takes the safety and ethical treatment of trekking guides seriously.
