It is bordered on the north by the prominent crest of the Himalayas, dominated by Langtang Lirung (7,245 m), the highest peak in the area. To the south are the Chimse Danda (ridge), crossed by the Ganja La Pass (5,122 m), and Jugal Himal, culminating in Dorje Lakpa (6,989 m) The inhabitants of the Langtang Valley are descendants of Tibetans from Kerung. The Tamang Heritage Trek is the Tamang ethnic group with a marked influence on Tibetan culture and tradition, which is noticed in their lifestyle closely resembling that of most Tibetan villages. Their culture goes back hundreds of years, the craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses, and the carved wooden porches reflect their rich Himalayan heritage. They are mainly sheep and yak herders but grow some hardy grains and vegetables. The daily life of the villagers includes raising livestock, agriculture, and trade with Kerung in Tibet. Wheat, maize, potato, soybean, and millet are their staple food. Partly protected as Langtang National Park, visiting the area gives a Himalayan nature experience and an insight into the lifestyle and culture of the Tamangs. They are the predominant inhabitants of the region. Tamang Heritage Trek offers yet another option: a peek at the Himalayan lifestyle and culture. The unexplored part of the Langtang National Park is connected with Tamang Heritage Trail. ## Highlights - Trekking: 10 km - Stay: 13 nights in tea houses and lodges - Mountains visible: Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Shishapangma - Activities: Tea house stays, Sherpa and Himalayan village visits, Sunrise viewpoints, Prayer flags, stupas and monasteries ## Itinerary ### Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu Meet with our representative at the airport and drive to the hotel. ### Day 2: Sightseeing in Kathmandu Visit Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath Temple and Kathmandu Durbar Square. ### Day 3: Kathmandu – Dhunche – Syabru Drive from Kathmandu towards Rasuwa via Trishuli and Nuwakot.
