In the case of flights, a fee for the guides transportation is included in the price.

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.
Weather Conditions in March
March is the start of the ‘Spring Season’ when temperatures begin to rise from their winter lows. By the end of March, temperatures are significantly warmer at lower elevations and hot air from the valleys tend to create clouds in the mountains during the afternoons. Mornings are generally clear, with the clearest weather coming just after sunrise.
