Yala Adventure Treks offers you an authentic trekking experience along the Tamang Heritage Trail, a previously restricted area. This trail takes you across ancient villages and monasteries of rich architecture, where you will stop to take a dip in the age old natural springs. Starting from Pairo, this trek offers a spectacular view of the great Himalayas and the villages overlooked by them. The Tamang Heritage Trail lies close to the Tibetan border and was opened only in 2004. This trip offers meaningful exposure to outsiders who seek to understand the customs and traditions of the local people. Superb views of the towering mountains and majestic glaciers along with plenty of photographic opportunities are other highlights of this trip.
Tamang Heritage Trek is a recently opened area, west of the Langtang Valley that aims to bring tourism money to a poor region in exchange for offering tourists the chance to interact with these people of Tibetan origin. Trekkers lodge in local lodges or homes and experience at first hand the warmth and spirit of the Tamang culture; their Buddhist beliefs and their handicrafts. Your hosts, farmers supplying produce, cultural entertainers and handicraft sales all benefit with some money going into social funds. One distinct advantage is that Tamang heritage trek Nepal is still “off the beaten track” and so offers a glimpse of a region ‘set back in time’ which allows time for reflection and solitude.
