I booked an 11-day package (9 days trek, 2 days travel) with Himal Ghale at Nepal Wilderness trekking for $600, traveling solo. A porter/guide, and all normal trip expenses including transportation, were provided. The weather was perfect, and only the ama Hotel village, which doesn’t have enough guesthouses, was overcrowded with tourists. Otherwise, there are plenty of very nice guesthouses on the rest of the trip. The Tamang Heritage section of the trek involves daily ascents and descents of 500-1000 m. The Langtang portion is a more-or-less upward climb to Kyanjin, the final destination and highest point on the trek at 3860m (you can take day walks from there to higher altitudes). Some days involved walking up to 6-7 hours. It is important to keep to the daily schedule and reach Langtang on Day 6 of trekking, in order to get to Kyanjin in the late morning, since the afternoons tend to cloud up, unless you plan to add a day or two to the trip for walks to the higher altitude, such as to Kyanjin Ri (a two-hour climb)…More»

I booked an 11-day package (9 days trekking, 2 days traveling) with Himal Ghale at Nepal Wilderness trekking for Tamang heritage trail trek, it was a great experience with my porter cum guide.
This section of the trek involves daily ascents and descents of 500-1000 m. of the trek involves a more-or-less upward climb to Kyanjin, the final destination and highest point on the trek at 3860m. On some days, I walked for up to 6-7 hours.
Keep to the daily schedule, and reach Langtang on Day 6 to get to Kyanjin before the afternoon clouds roll in unless you intend to add another day or two for walks to higher altitude, such as to Kyanjin Ri (a two-hour climb).
While this is a well-known and popular tourist trail, if you do not have a guide you may take the wrong trail, as many junctions are not marked and it is unclear where to go. Our guide/porter was young and not very experienced, having done this trek just once before, and we went off trail a few times.
An amazing experience on my Tamang Heritage & Langtang Valley Trek!
I chose Nepal Wilderness Trekking for my solo trek in Nepal because they were the best. Himal was easy to communicate with from the beginning. Whenever I had a question, he was always happy to answer it and gave me great recommendations based on my availability. During those 10 days in Tamang Villages and The Langtang Valley, my dear guide MANOJ was my best companion. He was attentive, respectful, and careful throughout, with a great deal of knowledge about the area and its people. Himal’s company is the best for professionalism and experience, and I recommend Manoj as the best guide for your Tamang Heritage & Langtang Valley Trekking. This trip was full of beauty, adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and kind people.
