Overview of Tamang Heritage Trail Trek – 7 Days

The Tamang Heritage trail trek is one of the under-rated trekking destinations of Nepal mostly because it is not advertised as much and people in general do not really know about this trek. This means that the trial is not very active with people and you are highly unlikely to have a crowded stay.

This trek takes you through the Langtang region, visiting a bunch of villages throughout the way. You will get to experience the lives of the locals firsthand by staying in homestays and also get to taste their homemade dishes which are certainly a highlight of the trek. Being a relatively new trekking itinerary, most trekkers are unaware of this but this is a pretty good experience that showcases the Tamang culture of the Langtang region.

To promote sustainable and environmentally responsible tourism in Nepal, the Nepal Tourism Board came up with the idea to design this beautiful experience through the Langtang Valley. So far, it has not turned out to be a flop but it is not a hit either.

The rich culture of the Tamang people must be protected, appreciated, and showcased. The traditional instruments, the folk music, the beautiful synchronized dance, and the traditional practices are entertaining and interesting to watch, to say the least. The Tamang Heritage trail trek takes us to several of the authentic Tamang villages where you will experience the culture first-hand.

The traditional stone-roofed houses, the intricate patterns on the windows and doors, and the multi-colored prayer flags make up the aesthetic of the villages in the region. The village of Tatopani even has a natural hot spring where trekkers can take a relaxing hot bath to rid themselves of sore muscles.

The 7 days Tamang Heritage trail trek is not a popular choice, visiting the economically struggling villages is a great way to support them directly. Staying in their homestays, eating their food, using their services, etc. is a direct contribution to the remote Langtang villages’ economy. It helps them earn a couple of bucks while also maintaining and showcasing their cultural practices.

Here’s all you need to know about the Tamang Heritage trail trek. If you have some unanswered questions about the trek, you can contact our travel expert anytime you want, just leave a text or an email and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Itinerary of Tamang Heritage Trail Trek – 7 Days

DAY
01

Day 01: Kathmandu drive to Syabrubesi

Syabrubesi is one of the main towns of the Langtang region, located about 120 kilometers from Kathmandu this ride will take around 6-7 hours since the road condition is not up to standard. Additionally, we will have to cross multiple hills going up and down windy roads which makes the journey require more time. Syabrubesi is the starting point of all the Langtang region treks including, the Langtang Valley trek, Gosaikunda Lake Trek, Helambu Trek, and more.

We will start off the morning with a light breakfast to fuel us till lunch. Following that, we will get on a jeep since they are faster in comparison to buses; we will cut over an hour of travel time. If you are a solo traveler, you can get on a public bus to Syabrubesi from the Machhapokhari Buspark. The bus park is about 10km far from the international airport.

Leaving Kathmandu, we will head northwest, driving over the Prithivi Highway. We will soon make our way to Galchi, followed by a short refreshment stop once we get close to the Pasang Lhamu Highway. On the way, green terraced farmlands will accompany us while the Trishuli River flows deep down. Occasional views of the Himalayas up north are also a scene to look out for.

From there, our next stop will be Dhunche, the major town of Rasuwa. We will stop there for lunch or we can just carry on if the lot is not that hungry. From there, our destination of the day is about 20 km away which could take around an hour to reach since we are now in Himalayan terrain. Following the Bhote Koshi River basin, we will ascend up north with views of the dry Himalayan land.

Getting to Syabrubesi, 1460 meters above sea level, is pretty bumpy and you should expect to hit huge potholes, uneven roads, and tight turns over cliffs. The Himalayan terrain is infamous for offering uncomfortable road rides and the roadside hills are prone to landslides during the monsoon season. That is why we do not do the Tamang Heritage Trek in the monsoon period.

Despite the unappealing nature of the road, the scenic treat you get during this road ride is worth it all. The lush hills at the start of the journey turn to rugged Himalayan terrain full of waterfalls while the Himalayas in the distant north show up. Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa, and Langtang Lirung are the peaks you can see today.

Before the travel begins we will get you a permit from the Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu or we can get permits at Dunche if we cannot get it in Kathmandu.

Day 02: Syabrubesi to Gatlang

Today marks the first day of trekking the Tamang Heritage trail trek within the beautiful Langtang region. We will start the day at 1460 meters of altitude and end up at 2240 meters in Gatlang, this means that the trail today does not require much uphill trekking.

Separated by 8-10 kilometers, we will trek for about 5 to 6 hours to reach Gatlang. The trek starts with a plain trail to one of the best viewpoints of the region, from there you will be able to see Goljung Valley, Ganesh Himal, and Surya Peak. We will follow that up by descending down to Goljung village and getting out of there with an ascent.

Goljung is a traditional Tamang village and offers a great insight into the lives of the locals. We can stop there for lunch if you would like. After we are done we will move on to Gatlang, crossing terrace farmlands and lush alpine vegetation.

Gatlang is yet another Tamang village that is famous for Parvati Kunda Lake, a sacred Himalayan freshwater lake. The locals and followers of Hinduism believe that the water of Parvati Lake holds the divine power of healing. The village also houses a Tamang Monastery that is a hotspot for religious practices, you will often find people praying and chanting mantras there.

Traditional dance (wearing traditional costumes) while the locals play traditional instruments is their way of welcoming visitors to their village. If you are lucky enough they might just ask you to join the dance.

Hotels are nonexistent in the Himalayas, the best type of accommodations during your Tamang Heritage trail trek is teahouses and lodges. Some of the villages in the region support homestays and Gatlang is one of them. Basically, you can stay in a local villager’s house, they will cook you food, give you beds to sleep in, and serve your needs as their guest.

This system is great as everyone in the community gets a turn to host visitors, so everyone gets paid. Homestays are also great for visitors as they get to experience what it is like to live and dine in a traditional Himalayan village. It’s almost like an Airbnb but with the house owner serving you as a host.

After a long trekking day, we will have a delicious dinner, and get ready for bed soon after as rest is very important for this trek.

Day 03: Gatlang to Tatopani

Similar to yesterday, today’s trek spans 10 to 12 km and takes about 6 hours to complete. From 2240 meters in Gatlang, we will gain over 360 meters of altitude and reach Tatopani, 1190 meters above sea level. Starting off, we will go down a slope, through farmlands and small settlements. Following the Bhote Koshi River Basin, we will reach Chilime, and eventually Thangbuchet. From there, the trail leads us to a suspension bridge followed by a steady uphill slope to Gonggang village, our lunch stop.

Gonggang is a lovely little Tamang village sitting at an altitude of 2227 meters. From there, the trail ascends, yet again, to Tatopani. Trekking windy paths full of alpine trees and bushes, we will finally reach our destination of the day.

The name Tatopani translates to hot water which signifies that the area has a natural hot spring source. You will find many places named Tatopani all over Nepal and all of those places have natural hot springs. You can take a relaxing bath at one of these hot springs, your tensed muscles will feel relaxed and the locals believe that the hot spring water is the best cure for sore muscles.

In terms of accommodation, Tatopani is similar to Gatlang, you will find tea houses and homestays that provide basic services. You should not expect extra services here such as WiFi, laundry, and similar amenities. Homestays and teahouses are set up to provide the necessary services only, this includes food, drinks, and beds.

Day 04: Tatopani to Nagthali Gyang / Thuman

Tatopani to Thuman measures 9.5 km which should take about 5 hours to reach. Remember that, the higher we ascend the more time it takes to cover the distance. After breakfast, we will start our day trek with an uphill trek through a forest. The Himalayan forests are not heavily crowded by animals like in the hills but still, you have a high chance of encountering monkeys, wild cats, deer, a bunch of Himalayan birds, and more.

Our first stop of the day will be at Nagthali which is a hotspot for religious activity. You will find a number of monks chanting and locals praying to the gods. The majority of the people in the Langtang region follow Buddhism which is closely related to their ancestral tradition and daily practices. Meanwhile, some locals have found their way to Christianity which is a rising belief in the community.

From Nagthali, the trail follows deep into the valley and leads us to Thuman where Jhankri (Shamans) are the main attraction. Shamans are known for their weird personality, connection with the underworld, and energetic dance in a trance-like state. The village is showered with views of the mountains in the north, you will get to see the views from anywhere in the village.

Traditional music, dance, and other performances are very frequent in the village. Visitors from all over the globe have a great time watching the locals perform, some even have a chance to participate. The houses are traditionally made and resemble the houses in Tibet. The windows and doors are made of wood carving while the building blocks are clay soil mixed with other things to strengthen the mixture.

Day 05: Thuman trek to Briddim

Starting the day in Thuman (2400 meters), we will reach Briddim (2229 meters) by the end of the day, covering about 5-6 kilometers in the process. Today’s day trek will last about 3 – 4 hours as we have to go over a series of uphill and downhill sections.

From Thuman, we will first get to the village of Timure. This path was once one of the most important trade routes in Nepal since it enabled trade with Tibet. At the time Tibet was way richer in terms of minerals which made it necessary to have trade connections. Being a landlocked country, salt was very hard to come by in Nepal but thankfully Tibet opened its door for trade which made it possible to have surplus salt.

From Timure, our next stop is Lingling village which is yet another Tamang village full of traditional values and norms. The last leg of today’s trek is Lingling to Briddim which requires a steady ascent through farmlands and forested areas. Briddim is set on the foothills of Mt. Langtang and suffice to say, the village is as stunning as they get. The traditional stone houses and the views of the Himalayas make it a picturesque scene to remember.

Day 06: Briddim to Syabrubesi

Today’s day trek is going to be a short one, we will cover a distance of 9 km trekking for a maximum time of 4 hours. The initial section of the trek descends gradually through small settlements and patches of forests. You can also see local farmers going by their daily lives, herding, farming, and tending to their crops.

Our first stop of the day is at Wangal, it is at the midpoint of today’s entire trail and a good place to stay for lunch. As the Langtang River joins the trail, the sounds of the raging water overfill the silence we were getting used to. Birds chirping becomes less dominant and the trail is pretty plain for most of the way.

After about 2 hours of trekking from Wangal, we will finally reach Syabrubesi, the starting point and ending point of the Tamang Heritage trail trek.

How does our Tamang Heritage trail trek starts?

Our trip starts in Kathmandu, we will take an early morning jeep to Syabrubesi since it takes 7 hours to reach the village. If you decide to take a helicopter ride instead, you can start later in the morning since it just takes 20 minutes by air. The jeep ride is a scenic trip that takes you around the hills and waterfalls to get to our starting trekking point. We will reach the village by the late afternoon hours, leaving us a couple of hours to explore the village.

The next day, we will begin the trekking days of the Tamang Heritage trail trek by getting to Gatlang, a beautiful Tamang village.

How difficult is Tamang Heritage trail trek

The Tamang Heritage trail trek is among the easiest trekking destinations in Nepal; you barely even reach a maximum altitude of 3300 meters above sea level. The trails along the itinerary are very beginner-friendly, even kids can join the trek without any special training. The trails are well-paved paved, marked, and follow settlements along the Langtang valley.

Best seasons for the trip

The Tamang Heritage trail trek receives the most trekkers in the spring season as it is the flowering season. Trekkers and nature lovers love to see green hills and flowering buds along the trekking trail. The average temperature throughout the day is very mellow and perfect for daytime trekking sessions over the hills.

The clear skies provide great visibility for panoramic views of the Langtang Valley while the stable weather conditions make sure that your views are not unexpectedly blocked by clouds. Wild animals in the region are more active during spring as it is the time of year when nature blooms to life.

Second to spring, autumn is a great choice. During this season, you are least likely to experience rain and similar to spring, the skies remain clear. Autumn is also the festive period in the highlands, the biggest festival in Nepal, Dashain and Tihar, falls in this season. You can witness people celebrating this festival throughout the country; some families might even ask you to take part in the festival.

Summer season captures the third spot for the best season to do the Tamang Heritage trail trek. The views are as great as spring and autumn but the fact that it gets too hot for most people is the greatest drawback of this season. In addition to that, summer is full of rain which is a deal breaker for most people since you would not want to trek in rain.

Now, there are seasons that you must avoid, these include winter and monsoon seasons. Winter is not preferred as a viable option because of the fact that it hosts the worst scenes out of all. The lands become dusty, the air becomes foggy, and the overall experience becomes somewhat monotone. Monsoon is another season that you should avoid as the trail becomes muddy and slippery. The black clouds block the beautiful view as well.

Can a beginner join this trip?

Yes, our Tamang Heritage trail trek package is very beginner-friendly, in fact, if you are a first-timer, this is one of the best options for you since Himalayan trekking destinations can get really taxing on your body. This trek takes you on an easy stroll through the Langtang Valley while our porters carry your heavy bags on their backs so you can just focus on the scenes of nature.

Altitude Sickness during the Tamang Heritage trail trek

Altitude sickness is not a threat during this short trek. The maximum altitude we will reach during this trek is 3300 meters above sea level which is completely safe from altitude sickness. If you are really sensitive to elevation change, you might experience Loo which is a slight discomfort but other than that you are completely safe.

Accommodation, Food and Drink during the Tamang Heritage trail trek

Accommodation during your Tamang Heritage trail trek is limited to teahouses and homestays, both of which are a part of the experience. Staying in tea houses gives you the sense of being far from cities and your soft comfortable bed.

Himalayan tea houses are just equipped enough to provide you with basic needs such as beds, food, water, bathroom, etc. These establishments are not built by rich investors but by the locals of the village so staying in tea houses supports the economy of the village.

Services like WiFi, hot showers, laundry, etc. are not available at every tea house; the ones that do offer these services usually charge extra for them. Bathrooms do not come attached to your room but are a shared luxury. The big hall plus kitchen is also a communal property which is a great place to meet and chat with other trekkers on the trail.

Meanwhile, homestays give you the sense of living with the locals even if it’s just for a night. The house owner will welcome you, show you your room, cook your meals, and make sure that your stay there is as comfortable as possible. This is a great way to taste the local dishes as you will be eating what the locals eat, see how they prepare it, and what local ingredients they use. You will never be closer to the locals than this experience.

Breakfasts are usually limited to eggs (in many forms; boiled, fried, and poached), toasts, pancakes, flat bread made of different food grains, Tibetan bread, hot beverages, and more. Since you are trekking in a rural setting, modern equipment and ingredients are hard to come by which sets a limit on the services and food options you can choose from.

Lunch and dinner are a bit more varied, with dishes like Dal Bhat (Rice and Lentils), Tibetan Stew, momo, chowmein, noodles, fried rice (veg and non-veg), Tsampa, stir-fried veggies, different types of curry, etc. You might even find spaghetti, pasta, and other international dishes in some places during your Tamang Heritage trail trek.

However, in general, you should avoid eating meat since some of the eateries do not have freezers. The locals just slaughter the animal and cook it within hours. The locals seem to be okay with this idea but since you are not them, it’s better to not take the risk of upsetting your stomach.

Packaged snacks are also available throughout the Tamang Heritage trail trek along with canned drinks and soda. Make sure that the plastics that you use throughout your trek are disposed of at the proper place, garbage cans might be hard to find and some of them might even be full but hold on to your waste till you find the trash pit or garbage bin.

As for drinks, different types of tea including, lemon tea, black tea, milk tea, and herbal tea, are available at every tea house. Locally made alcoholic drinks are also an option but just taste it and don’t ask for seconds.

Transportation

Transportation required for the Tamang Heritage trail trek is managed and provided by us as your travel partner. Your jeep ride to Syabrubesi at the start of the trek and back to Kathmandu at the end of the trek along with airport pick up and drop off are a part of the package. This expense will be covered by the package.

Permit for the Tamang Heritage trail trek

Every trekker is expected to have a Langtang National Park entry permit which can be obtained at the Tourism Board office in Kathmandu or at Dunche. You also need a Trekker Information Management System card which is obtainable at Kathmandu. Our document expert will make sure you have the right documents for these and obtain these permits for you. Permits are a part of the Tamang Heritage trail trek package.

Trip preparation and fitness

Our Tamang Heritage trail trek is not a demanding trek when it comes to physicality, any normal person with an average physique can go through this trek but there are some things that you can do to further upgrade your experience. First off, you do not need plenty of stamina to make it through but having more stamina means that you won’t get tired easily and you can focus on the scenes instead of your sore legs. Having a slightly above-average fitness level will enhance the experience of the trek.

Cost & Budget

Our Tamang Heritage trail trek lasts for 7 days wherein we will be responsible for your meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), transportation expenses, permit fees, wages for the porters and guides, local taxes, accommodation, and more. Considering that our trek package covers most of your expenses. We recommend you carry a couple hundred dollars worth of hand cash to use in villages where digital payments are unheard of.

Gadgets charging & Internet

In the rural villages of the Himalayan region, electricity is not a stable infrastructure since they face frequent power outages. In case of power outages, the locals use solar power to light up their houses and use the necessary electrical devices. Charging phones and other luxury gadgets is not considered a necessity and you have to pay to charge them through solar-generated electricity.

Internet is available for the most part but it can be unstable since service providers do not really focus on the Himalayan region.

Your Extra expenses

Although our Tamang Heritage trail trek package covers the majority of your trek-related expenses, you still have to pay separately for some services and goods. For instance, laundry bills, WiFi charges, hot shower fees, any kind of bottled/canned beverages, packaged food from shops, etc. are to be paid separately. The trek package does not cover any of these expenses.

Things to Remember Before Tamang Heritage trail trek:

Although our 7 days Tamang Heritage trail trek itinerary is not physically demanding, it’s a plus point to physically prepare yourself for the trek. Having surplus physicality will never be unbeneficial.
A 60-liter bag should be enough to house all your gear for the Tamang Heritage Trek. The porters will carry your bags while you will have a daypack on your back to carry stuff like water bottles, energy bars, personal devices, and such.
Hiking boots are mandatory, no other type of shoes are as tailor-made for Himalayan lands as hiking boots. Flip-flops should be packed as well since you will need them during the nightly tea house stay.
Travel insurance is also mandatory, you are highly unlikely to get hurt during the Tamang Heritage trail trek but it is always better to be on the safe side and insure anyway.
Do not expect to have working cell networks throughout the trek, some of the places have zero reception. Come prepared to live a few days without being connected to the internet.
Be responsible for your trash, environmental responsibility has kept this trail clean for years and we expect every trekker to follow the same mentality.
The villages in the region are very conservative and religious, do not dress in revealing outfits, and make sure that you respect their culture.

Add-On Options for Tamang Heritage Trail Trekking

Upgrade Your Accommodation in Kathmandu

For your stay in Kathmandu, we will arrange a standard hotel that provides all the basic services along with a couple more extra services. This stay can be upgraded to your liking (4-star or 5-star hotels), to upgrade your stay in Kathmandu, make sure that you request it during the booking period. If you have any other special requests, you should mention them before you book the Tamang Heritage Trek.

This upgrade is exclusive to the trek package, your final bill will be adjusted accordingly to include this new expense.

Private Helicopter flight to and from Syabrubesi

A jeep ride to Syabrubesi is an experience you must try at least once as you will know what it is like to travel the way the locals do. In addition, the scenes during the ride are worth it. However, we understand that some trekkers might not want to spend 7 hours on a jeep ride and instead get to the starting point early for a headstart. For those trekkers, we offer a private helicopter ride to Syabrubesi and back.

What takes 7 hours by a jeep is covered by helicopter in just over 20 minutes, cutting your travel time by over 6.5 hours. The ride is scenic as well, you will get an expansive view of the Langtang region in its entirety. This private helicopter ride is not a part of the Tamang Heritage trail trek package and will be accounted for in the trek package price separately.

Most Asked Questions by Travellers

No, we do not expect trekkers to have prior experience in order to trek the Tamang Heritage Trek. This trek is suitable for newcomers as well as beginners. Being only a week long and having only 5 trekking days makes it a great choice for beginners. In addition to that, the trail wanders through comparatively low-altitude villages which makes it approachable for everyone.

Yes, bottled water is available throughout the Tamang Heritage Trek but will cost a little extra since you are traveling in remote rural villages where transportation is tough. The locals drink straight from the spring water source or taps that are connected to the spring water source. This water is clean, drinkable, and 100% natural but given its high mineral content your body might not be used to it. It’s better to stick to bottled water. If you want to drink spring or tap water throughout the trek, you better bring a reusable water bottle.

Porters and guides are not a necessity but rather a luxury, a helping hand, and a trekking expert. Having someone who can guide you throughout the remote Langtang village and answer all your curious questions is a great thing to have. Meanwhile, having someone to take the load off your back, literally, is a luxury that translates to you having a memorable experience wandering the trekking trail freely.

In general, the weather stays clear, the sun shines bright, and the air quality is great but it all depends on the time of the year. Trekking during the summer season means you are more likely to experience rainfall, cloudy evenings, and hot day temperatures. Trekking the Tamang Heritage Trek in spring calls for greenery everywhere, great mild temperatures throughout, and a fantastic lively view of the valley and the mountain nearby.

Western norms including public affection (hugging and kissing) are not entertained by the conservative locals of the Langtang region. Being loud is also frowned upon since Buddhism teaches people to be calm and humble. When trekking past a Gompa or Chorten make sure to always pass from the left, the Buddhist followers always go clockwise.

Excellent Tamang Heritage Trek

“We would like to thank Puru and Basu for organizing such a great trip to the Tamang Heritage Trek. Mr. Puru was beneficial and responded to our questions very well! Our Special thanks go to Sitaram, our guide, who made this trek memorable.

Sitaram went out of his way to ensure we felt safe and enjoyed ourselves. We recommend trekking in this area as the scenery is incredible, and walking is not difficult.

This is a less traveled area, and the teahouses were very basic with basic food choices. Thank you, Above The Himalayas, for the best trip.

We made it - Tamang Heritage trek

We did the Tamang heritage trek with this local travel expert. We were a small group of friends for the tour. The service was excellent in all details. The best part of the trip was our guide, Basu, who was terrific.

He took care of all management issues during the trip. The food was good, but the room was quite basic.

I hope to do the Everest base camp trekking year with them. I recommend this travel company.

Tamang Heritage trek a less travel trekking in Langtang region

We have finished our Tamang heritage trekking. We like to explore real Nepal and the unspoiled area of Nepal. Mr. Puru suggested this trek.

We enjoyed the local lifestyle, farming, terraces, and fantastic mountain views. We recommend the Tamang Heritage Trek to everyone.
