The Tamang Heritage Trail is the perfect metaphor of ecofriendly trek into the midst of green and unspoiled nature preserved from the ravages of modern civilizational progress and devastation.
The trail along with spreading the aroma of intact nature offers the magnificent views of Himalayan life style and culture. While offering the beauty of the mountain region and the culture of the people who live there, the trail traverses through traditional Tamang villages where life, culture, and crafts have remained unaffected for centuries.
The trail being rich in architecture of ethnic mountain houses, the ancient monasteries and places of prayer traverses through beautiful landscapes of alpine terrain, flat meadows and rhododendron forests. The ecofriendly trek can be undertaken either from Dhunche or Syabrubesi and at the end, pass through Goljung, Gatlang, Thuman, Timure, Briddim, Lama Hotel, Langtang valley and Kyangjin Gompa. Goljung, Gatlang and Langtang, the traditional Tamang villages comprise the cultural features of the trek. Further, the beautiful local Tamang monastery and the holy Parvatikunda Lake at Gatlang excite the lovely pleasure of the trek.
While savoring the unique Tamang culture and their hospitality at the proximity of close encounter with nature, visitors fail to resist the irresistible dramatic views of Langtang Lirung (7245m.), Langtang Kerung, Chimse Danda ridge crossed by Ganjala Pass (5122m.), Dorje Lakpa (6989m.), Jugal Himal, Ganesh Himal, Paldor peak, Shringi Himal, Manaslu and Sanjen Himal ranges at its distance.
The trek to Tamang Heritage Trail at the one hand is full of encounter with verdant nature and on the other hand it is beyond the touch of modern material quest. In this sense, the trek will be more ecofriendly.
