Overview
Located in the most accessible trekking region of Nepal, the Tamang Heritage Trail awaits you! This amazing 15 days trekking package with Royal Himalayan Holidays takes you deep into the Langtang region just north-east of Kathmandu. Being close to the Tibetan border you’ll be able to experience amazing trekking trails through green forests, and terraced farmlands, as well as see some breathtaking Himalayan views!
The Tamang Heritage Trail is not only a trek through the Langtang region but is also considered one of the best sustainable treks. As it provides much-needed income to the local Tamang communities that receive trekkers during the trail! We start on the Tamang Heritage Trail with a drive to Syabrubesi. It’s a 9-day trek to the Kyanjin Gumba and back. The trails are filled with greenery and valley views. We’ll spend our time at local Tamang villages, interacting with the locals and observing their unique culture and traditions. The Tamang people originate from Tibet and descended to Kathmandu as horse traders, settling near the Kathmandu Valley a century ago. Having their language and still holding on to their Tibetan roots, they build countless stupas and gumbas across the Langtang Valley with the largest being the Kyanjin Gumba at a height of 3,800m (12,467ft). We’ll be trekking for 7 days through Tamang lands until reaching Kyanjin. Here we’ll spend a day exploring the Gumba and village and can hike up the Kyanjin Ri Hill (4,850m/15,912ft) and see incredible views of; Mt Yubra (6,264m/20,511ft), Mt Changbu (6,251m/20,509ft_, the Langtang Lirung (7,227m/23,711ft), the Yalla Peak (5,500m/18,045ft) and the Tserko Peak (5,749m/18,862ft)! We make our way back to Syabrubesi following the trail of the Langtang Valley trek passing by the destroyed Langtang Village due to the 2015 earthquake. After crossing the Bhote Khosi River we’ll reach back at Syabrubesi from where we’ll drive back to Kathmandu the next morning to conclude the Tamang Heritage Trail.
