Trip Overview |
The Langtang valley is called " the valley of the glaciers". This is a superb introduction to trekking in Nepal among some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole country, with rich tamang culture. Here, mountains rise shinning towards the sky. The valleys offers pine forest, swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow-capped peaks, grassy downs with daises and wild primula. There are still bears, leopards, red pandas amd musk deer. In Mearch and April the Rhododendron forests have species of trees, birds and butterflies. while trekking you can discover the rough history of the Tibetain ancestors. They dress colorful and their houses are adorned with beautiful woodcarvings.
The views of the Himalayan snow capped mountains will be unfrorgettabe. Many years ago Nepal, fought with Tibet for salt and some of the biggest areas where this war took place is in the Langtang Region of Nepal, wherein lies the third most popular trekking trail in Nepal. This area is connected to Tibet and the trails in this region were used by traders from Tibet bartering in Salt and mountain goats for meat (changra) with foodstuffs from the south. Developed by the Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Program, the "Tamang Heritage Trail" is the newly developed tourism product, off the beaten track, which highlights an ancient lifestyle combining it with picturesque scenery and healing baths in natural hot springs.The people of this region are mostly Tibetans who came from Kerung in Tibet across the border and settled in Nepal. Tamang rituals, Tibetan culture, festivals, traditional architecture, costumes, local Syabru dances make the exposure to this culture very unique
The culture is virtually untouched. There is a view point at Goljung Pass, from where views of Langtang and Kerung (Tibet) can be awe inspiring. Visitors will get an opportunity to observe Syabru, Mane and other local dances at Goljung and Gatlang VDCs. The villages also sell exclusive handicraft items like traditional caps, mufflers and other items.

The ancient monasteries and houses adorned with rich wood engravings at Thuman is an unforgettable experience. |
