The Tamang Heritage Trail Trek is a newly introduced trail lying north of Kathmandu. It is possible to do only Tamang heritage trek or continue with Langtang Valley.

The people in this place are mostly of Tamang and Tibetan origin background, whose culture goes back to hundreds of years.
The Tamang Heritage Trail is developed by the Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Program (TRPAP) under the UNDP fund, Tamang Heritage Trekking is a newly developed trekking destination which was developed to distribute equal tourism opportunities among the poor rural communities living in the Rasuwa region. The region has the feel of little rich Tibet, Tamang culture amazing natural scenery and awesome mountain vistas and trekkers who have gone there claim it is like trekking in Langtang 59 years ago. Since its development, the revenue and other income generated by the tourism activities in this region contributed directly to the local communities supporting the local livelihood, the craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses, and the beautifully carved wooden roof’s porches reflect their rich Himalayan heritage. Partly protected as Distric development community as well, visit to the area gives Himalayan nature experience and an insight into the lifestyle and culture of the Tamangs who are predominant inhabitants of the region.
Located about 132 km toward the north of Kathmandu near the Tibetan border, Langtang was previously a restricted area. Extending in an east-west direction, it is bordered on the north by the main crest of the Himalayas, dominated by Ganesh Himal ( 7422m) Langtang Lirung (7,245 m), the highest peak in the area. To the south are the Chimse Danda (ridge), crossed by the Ganja La pass (5,122 m), and Jugal Himal, culminating in Dorje Lakpa (6,989 m). Glaciers spawned by the slopes of Langtang Lirung, Sanjen Himals, Ganesh Himals and other peaks feed the Langtang Khola (river).
The Langtang River passes through the high, gentle Langtang Valley before emptying in a raging torrent into the Bhote Kosi River through a long, narrow defile at the west end of the valley. Whereas the major rivers of Nepal flow south from Tibet cutting through the Himalayan chain, the Langtang Khola, a major tributary of the Trisuli Ganga, flows east to west, cutting, as it were, across the grain of the country.
The Trisuli, or Bhote Kosi as it becomes above Dhunche, forms an important corridor and ancient trade route through the mountains between the Ganesh and Langtang Himal, to Kerung in Tibet.Langtang valley, indigenous tamang culture and Gosainkunda are the prime attractions of this region.
