These treks are suitable for any walker looking for something a little more challenging and energetic. They are a combination of some longer and shorter walks and hill-walking experience is desirable. The duration is usually from 10 to 15 days. Following the up and down terrain of Nepal and walking to higher elevations contrasts these treks to those in the easy classification. However, you will be rewarded for your efforts with spectacular close-up views of glaciers and of the high Himalayas. Although the terrain is not difficult, some vigorous hiking experience is useful. There may be up to 6 hours a day on the trail and the elevation rises and falls from 800m/ 2624ft to 4000m/13210ft above sea level.
Mode of Travel : LandTamang Heritage trekking with Langtang valley is one of the stirring trekking destinations. Like any other Tibetan highlands, the Langtang region has tranquil rural scenery and the rich cultural heritage of ethnic Nepalese Tamang people. The trek takes you through the rural and rugged mountains and the high passes scattered with shortens, stupas and prayer flags waving in the wind make every trekker enthralled. The Langtang valley referred as “the valley of glaciers”, lies north to the Kathmandu. Langtang is also the region of pre historic Tibetan monasteries, rhododendron and bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, snow-capped Himalayas, and many holy lakes, or what the devout practitioners call the Kunda.
We can also see bears, leopards, red pandas and musk deer. We can discover the rough history of the Tibetan ancestors when travelling through the area. Their children are now Buddhists and existing on agriculture and trade. They prefer multicoloured outfit and their houses are adorned with striking woodcarvings. Himalayan View Trek offers the Langtang Tamang Heritage Trek which will indeed provide you wilderness experience along with cultural experience through striking landscapes of alpine terrain, flat meadows and rhododendron forests. The trail starts either from Dhunche or Syabrubesi and passes through Goljung, Gatlang, Chilime, Thurman, Timure and Briddim. The trail may end back in Syabrubesi or follow and Langtang trek from Briddim village via Khamjim.
