Tamang Heritage Trek

The first day marks your arrival day in Kathmandu. Clear all the visa requirements and customs clearance, if any, at the arrival section of the airport. As you come out, you will find a representative from World Alpine Treks waiting for you holding a board with your name. You will then be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. The representative will inform you shortly about the plans ahead.

Today, we leave Kathmandu and head north toward Syabrubensi. It is around a 7-hour drive from Kathmandu via bus/jeep. We take a vehicle and drive along a scenic route full of hills and lush countryside landscapes. On the way, we pass Dhunche and follow a trail that crosses the Trishuli River with a glance at Ganesh Himal. Further, we pass villages and farmland and head deep into the region until we reach Syabrubensi. Tonight, we are staying at a guesthouse in Syabrubensi. (Inclusive of breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

Leaving Syabrubensi, we start our trekking journey with a pleasant walk and a pristine environment. We pass many traditional villages on our way and ascend slowly to a viewpoint that offers some fascinating views of the Ganesh Himal and Langtang ranges. From this viewpoint, we descend to Goljung Valley and walk through some settlement areas and farmlands until we reach the jovial Tamang village of Galtang. Tonight, we are staying at a guesthouse in Galtang. (Inclusive of breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

As we move ahead from Galtang, we descend to Thangbuche, which lies very near the Chilime village. There is a Chilime Hydropower project ongoing near the Bhotekoshi River. We pass the Chilime Hydropower dam and ascend through the trail until we reach Tatopani. Tatopani is an exciting place. Tatopani comprises two Nepali words -  Tato and Pani, which mean hot and water, respectively. And as its name denotes, Tatopani is a place with natural hot springs.  Tonight, we are staying at a guesthouse in Tatopani. (Inclusive of breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

Early in the morning, you can enjoy a hot water bath in the natural hot water springs of Tatopani to soothe your mind and body. After breakfast, we continue our journey toward the next Tamang village in the Langtang region. We pass dense alpine forests on the way to Brimdang, a small Tamang settlement area. Next, we walk uphill toward Nagthali Hill. From the top of the hill, we can get some spectacular views of Langtang Himal, Sanjeng Kerung, Ganesh Himal, and other peaks.

Further, we walk downhill to the Tamang village of Thuman. From Thuman, we descend to the village of Timur. It is yet another Tamang settlement on the way. Tonight, we are staying at a guesthouse in Timur. (Inclusive of breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

Moving forward, we head towards another Tamang village of Briddim. We continue to walk from Timur via Lingling.  Located in the lap of Langtang Himal, Briddim is a beautiful village with an enormous influence on Tibetan Buddhist culture. Lying close to the border, the villages completely resemble those of the Tibetan villages. The Tibetan Buddhist religion is prevalent there, which is reflected in the prayer flags, mani walls, and chortens along the way. We visited a monastery called Dukchu Gompa in the village. Tonight, we are staying at a guesthouse in Briddim. (Inclusive of breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

From Briddim, we descend via the lush countryside landscape and pass various settlement areas and farmlands on the way to Syabrubensi. Tonight, we are staying at a guesthouse in Syabrubensi. (Inclusive of breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

Leaving Syabrubensi, we drive back via the same lush and pristine countryside landscape to the capital city of Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you can check into the hotel and relax in your hotel room for the rest of the time. Tonight, we are staying at a hotel in Kathmandu. (Inclusive of breakfast and lunch).

Before a few hours of your scheduled flight, you will be transferred to the international terminal of Tribhuwan International Airport. (Inclusive of Breakfast).
