7 Days Tamang Heritage Trek

Nepal Adventure Team’s representative will be at the airport , Kathmandu to receive you and drop you at the hotel. Along with welcome dinner in Kathmandu, you will be provided with guidelines for short Tamang Heritage Trail. You can solve queries as well as can do last-minute purchases for trekking. 

Early in the morning, we drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. The drive starts from Prithvi Highway and takes a right turn from the Highway. You will pass subways, villages, and tiny settlements along with the view of woods, ridges, waterfalls, rivers, and farmland. The roadway is a combination of both pitched and off-road, so you will be quite tired until you reach Syabrubesi.

You will be stopped at the Langtang National Park check post. The caretaker of the National Park, Nepal Arm, will inform the visitors about the rules and warn them not to harm any properties and not to import or export natural properties. They will also check the documents required for trekking and entry at Langtang National Park. Nepal Adventure Team will arrange the required documents (Langtang National Park Permit and TIMS Card) for you.

Bypassing the popular town of Langtang Region, Dhunche, you will reach Syabrubesi, which is located on the bank of Langtang Khola. 

Today, you will begin to trek up to Gatlang village from Syabrubesi. Firstly, the trail is steep until you reach Rongga Bhanjyang (2250m/7,382 ft ), then you will descend to Goljung village. Having a short break at Goljung village and observing the small settlements, you will head towards Gatlang village with a gradual ascent. Gatlang is entirely inhabited by the Tamang people. In the evening, you can visit Parvati Kunda (lake) and an ancient monastery. Ganesh Himal, Gosaikunda, and the Langtang range will be shining and waving at you in this trail.

This day will be quite tough for you as you will be walking for a longer distance than on any other day. You will pass by the famous habitat of the Tamang Heritage Trail, namely Thangbuchet, Chilime, Gonggang, Tatopani, and Brimdang.

After the early breakfast, you will walk through the woods towards Chilime and pass Thangbuchet village along with the Bhotekoshi river. Chilime is the largest village in the Tamang Heritage Trail, which also has hydropower from the Bhotekoshi River. You could see the village spread in the hills in the shape of a half-moon.

Then, to reach Tatopani, you will cross the long suspension bridge, ascend through terrace fields, and pass Gonggang village. Chortens, prayer flags, and Mani walls will always be there to spread peaceful prayers. Tatopani means hot spring, and the village was widely popular for hot springs until 2015 (before the earthquake). Now, it still holds the cultural charm, warm hospitality, and natural freshness, but misses the hot spring.

Further, with a mixture of uphill and downhill trails through dense alpine forest, you will cross another Tamang village, Brimdang (2848m/9344 ft), and ascend to reach Nagthali village. While walking through these trails, you will also have a view of the Tamang valley and the village. The prayer flags, Chorten, and Buddha shrine will welcome you in Nagthali village. The weather at Nagthali will be chilly due to its higher altitude.

Early morning, you will hike to Taruche View Point, also known as Nagthali viewpoint. The viewpoint offers a wide view of the Himalayan ranges of Nepal, as well as a few peaks and hills of the Tibetan area, as it is just 6km away from China –Nepal Border. The Ganesh Himal and Langtang Himal range is one of the major attractions of the Tamang Heritage trail, yet you will also be able to see other mountains. Notably, you will see snowcapped mountains such as Kabang Ri (6717m/ 22,037ft), Gang Benchen (7281m/23,888 ft), Langtang Ri (7205m / 23,638 ft), Langtang Lirung (7,227m/ 23,717 ft), and Langtang II (6596m / 21,640 ft ). Besides, Gosaikunda (4480m/14, 698 ft) area is also visible, for which trekkers choose Gosaikund Lake Trek – 8 Days.

After capturing and creating memorable moments at Taruche View Point, you will head towards another Tamang village named Thuman, decorated with prayer flags, traditional-style houses, and an old monastery. 

After breakfast, we begin our walk to Syabrubesi, and it’s the final day of completing the Tamang Heritage Trail. The trail leads through rhododendron forests and meadows and ends at Bridim. Bridim is another Tamang village located in the Langtang Region and shaped in a Z shape. From Thuman, you will walk downhill near the Bhotekoshi River and cross another bridge connecting Bridim. You can visit Dukuchu Monastery at Bridim. Similarly, the trail through dense woods and a downhill walk leads you to Wangal before Syabrubesi. Accompanied by a charming view of Ganesh and Langtang ranges, the walk ends at Syabrubesi. 

You will follow the same route and process to return to Kathmandu. At Langtang National Park check post, the Army will check luggage to ensure no illegal export of any properties of the National Park. You will drop to your hotel. A farewell dinner will be arranged by Nepal Adventure Team to mark the success of the 7 Days Tamang Heritage Trail, wishing you a great journey ahead, and hoping to meet again on the next journey. 

Our team will drop you off at the airport as per your flight schedule.
