Tamang Heritage Trek Overview
The Tamang is an ancient Nepalese tribe. According to Nepalese history, the Tamang tribe migrated from Tibet and made their home in this pristine Langtang region. There is an ancient song “Gyanaka Games Phepkaziam’ which means appeared from China, proving that the Tamang is the oldest Yambu tribe that migrated from China to Nepal.
The Tamang Heritage Trail offers a beautiful and picturesque landscape of the Himalayas. Find insights into the cultural aspects of the Tamang Tribe, which is pretty similar to that of the Tibetan people.
Getting to know the rituals, cultural practices, combined with the natural views of the glacier, surrounding mountains, and rivers, are the highlights of the Tamang Heritage Trail Trek. They have their distinct festival, Lhosar, which differs from other Lhosars celebrated by Gurungs.
Our trek starts from Syabrubesi & is the gateway to the Langtang region. The trials here have been created for promoting the local culture, practice & customs, food of this ethnic Tamang group that lives throughout the route.
