Trip Board (no comments)
The Tamang are an ethnic group that inhabits the southern slopes of the Himalayas. They trace their origins back to the Tibetan plateau and share many similar religious cultural practices with their Tibetan neighbors to the north. Get up and close to Tamang culture on this trek through the Tamang villages of Gatlang, Thuman, and Briddim. This off the beaten track trek will give you an intimate look into the culture, while enjoying breathtaking Himalayan views along the way. To do this trek in 5 days you can take a hired jeep from Kathmandu directly to Gatlang.
Side trip via Langtang Valley: A great option for those with less time, the Langtang valley trek allows trekkers to get high into the Himalayas without having to climb a high pass. Although the region was devastated by the 2015 earthquake when Langtang village was completely destroyed by a massive avalanche, the region is now recovering and the trekking routes are open into this spectacular valley.
