The Tamang Heritage trail is a very interesting trek, journeying through Tamang villages and settlements, rhododendron forests, and spectacular mountain views. This trail is perfect for those adventurers who would like a unique experience to see the traditional, untouched Tamang heritage, customs and lifestyle. We can explore many cultural and natural habitats with the stunning views and experience through the wilderness, you can have the rare taste of the combination of culture and nature which are the heart of this trek.
The Tamang people are descendants from Tibet and are not accustomed to many tourists, thus the culture here is virtually untouched. Also, in March and April, the rhododendron forests are in bloom and full of many different species of trees, birds and butterflies. There is also a view point at Goljung pass from where we can see the awe-inspiring views of Langtang and Kerung (Tibet). You might even see bears, leopards, red panda or musk deer on this trek.
This recently developed, off-the-beaten-path route combines picturesque landscapes, luring white peaks and scattered ancient villages. Not to be missed!
