Tamang Heritage Trek

After landing at Tribhuvan International Airport, you'll be welcomed by a representative from Himalayan Dream Team who will escort us to your hotel. Upon arrival at the hotel, you’ll check in, freshen up, and have some time to rest. In the evening, Himalayan Dream Team will host a welcome dinner for us. We will spend the night in Kathmandu

Today we start our trail to the Tamang. First, after breakfast we drive out along the north-western hills of Kathmandu out of the valley. Enjoy the Himalayan views and mountainous lifestyle through the terraced fields and rustic villages. We have a lunch at the Trishuli Bazar, buy some fruits and continue further to Dhunche. Here the landscape changes and in the far we can already see what is awaiting us. The road is sometimes spectacular on our way to enchanting Syabrubesi, the starting point of tomorrow's trek.

The Total Tamang trek starts from today. From Syabrubesi, we steeply go up across the Goljung Village.  Enjoy the views of the Ganesh Himal, Shishapangma, Langtang Lirung as they rapidly arise during our ascent. On the hill the trek starts become more grdually and at the horzon appears Gatlang, a small but very distinctive Tamang village with the traditional stone houses. We will be welcomed with a Khada (white scarf) and after dinner we will try the home made Rakshi accompanied by the welcome songs and traditional dances.

After a beautiful sunrise over the mountains we have to be fit for  the longest trekking day that will take about 7 hours. But prepare for an unforgettable trek! The trek begins with a trip along many mysterious ancient stupa's descending to Thangbuchet (near Chilime village) by the Bhotekoshi River. We stop for the lunch here before passing the bridge. Passing by the Chilime Hydropower dam, we ascend on a long climb up to reach Tatopani. We cross many villages our way up the green hills and will be rewarded in Tatopani with natural hot springs we will dream about our way since they will relax our tired feet and back.

Our highest pass awaits us today as we ascends to Nagthali Danda (3.300m). Here one of the most amazing views in the Himalaya awaits us, a 360 degree Himalayan range of snow covered Himalayas! At the pass we stop for lunch at the Tibetan Brimdang village. After lunch the trek continues ascending to Nagthali Danda. We can enjoy the view and spend some time at the top accompanied by tea prepared by the care taker of the Gompa. Our trek continues, sometimes steep down to the forest to Thuman, a small Tibetan influenced Tamang village with friendly people who again love to sing and dance.

Today is fascinating because we're near the stunning Tibetan mountains. We're close enough that crossing the border would take us there. We're trekking from Thuman to Briddim via Lingling. Briddim, a Tibetan Buddhist village nestled by Langtang Himal, is where we'll visit Dukchu Gomba monastery. The houses here, mostly inhabited by Tibetan-origin people, are stone-built, giving Briddim the look of a traditional Tibetan village from this side.

Today, our journey takes us from Briddim to Lama Hotel. We follow a trail that leads us down to Ghopche Khola, a charming small stream. From there, we ascend to Lama Hotel via Rimche. This quaint lodging is nestled on the banks of the Langtang River, enveloped by verdant forests and breathtaking mountain views.

We had breakfast, then started our journey to Langtang Village. We walked through thick forests, gradually climbing up the valley until we were above the trees. Along the way, we saw the beautiful Langtang Lirung mountain, passed by water mills, and saw prayer wheels and chortens decorated with sacred rocks with carvings on them.

We leave Langtang village after breakfast and strolled through yak pastures. Along the way, we encountered Nepal's largest mani wall, built from stone with prayers on them that are said to spread through the wind. We crossed a few wooden bridges and reached Kanjin Gompa, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas. There, we explored the area, admiring glaciers, icefalls, birds, and yaks.

After breakfast, we begin our trek from Kyanjing Gompa, following a downhill trail to reach Lama Hotel. Today, we'll gradually descend as we move towards our next overnight stop. The trek spans 7-8 hours and covers a distance of 20.6 kilometers, with a descent of almost 1300 meters. Along the way, we'll pass through forests and culturally rich villages, enjoying various views of snow-capped peaks.

After our final breakfast of the trek, we descend towards Syabrubensi, which is an easy trek through lush green vegetation. Upon reaching Syabrubesi, we relish a satisfying lunch and celebrate the successful completion of our trek.

After breakfast we will drive back to Kathmandu and we will enjoy for the last time the splendid views of hills, mountains, terraces and villages. You drive along the unpaved road until Betrawati where we will reach the main road which will bring us back to Nepal's capital in the late afternoon.
