The Tamang Heritage Trail lies west of the Langtang valley. The scenic route passes through mainly Tamang villages in the mid-hills that receive considerably fewer tourists than the
traditional, adjoining Langtang trek. Himalayan panoramas and village vistas are sensational and home stay enables a deeper cultural experience than can be had on the more established routes.
The Tamang ethnic group comprises about 6 percent of the total population of Nepal, and they are the predominant inhabitants of Rasuwaa District where this trek and the Langtang Valley lie.
Tamang have a unique language and manner of dress, ornamentation and craftsmanship, and many homes have elegantly carved wooden windows and porch fronts. This book provides the essentials for
