Tamang Heritage Trek

Overview

Since its opening in 2004, the Tamang Heritage Trail has been one of the most popular trekking routes from the Kathmandu Valley. With the added benefit of the rich culture and tradition of the Tamang community, you may learn more about their way of life and history while also taking in the natural beauty of the Langtang Mountain Range in northern Nepal.

The Tamang people originally came to Nepal from the Tibetan region as traders (essentially horse traders) to transport their commodities and products to the Kathmandu Valley, where they lived in the hilly region close to the Valley. With their culture, traditions, and way of life, they kept Tibet's individuality. Sadly, they were the area of the 2015 earthquake that was most badly hit. The main economy is built on the backs of agriculture and tourism. Trekking to the Tamang Heritage Trails will help the local economy as well as provide you with a sense of visual beauty.
