Itinerary
Trek wild terrain and stay in tiny mountain villages along a challenging trekking route
Discover sacred culture and incredible natural landscapes as you venture deep into Tamang hinterland along the quiet Tamang Heritage Trail (restricted until 2004). On this 15-day trek, you’ll explore the wilds of Langtang National Park, uncover surprisingly verdant midlands and stay in villages that will teach you about the local culture. Connect with locals, share stories and fill your days with exhales (both in exhaustion and in awe). All this, paired with the soaring views of Manaslu Massif, Ganesh, Langtang and Jugal Himal. This trek is perfect for the adventurous and active traveller looking for something different well off the tourist trail.

The area was stunning and we really lucked out with the weather which made the views all the more spectacular. I met some amazing people and experienced Nepali culture in a way I never would’ve otherwise. Thank you so much to the staff who really made the trip and thank you to the group who I will never forget. Would highly recommend!

This is so much more than a trek. The access and insights into the Tamang culture are truly remarkable and the Langtang Valley is awe inspiring. Some days are hard work but the pay off is jaw dropping vistas and memories of a wonderful journey. Highly recommended

This trip has been truly life changing for me! Hari, Subash & Phurwa are among the most kind and caring people I have ever met on my travels. I am so grateful to them for sharing their beautiful country & culture, with me. I have left feeling like the jungle and mountains are imprinted on my soul. Will be back again (& again). It's the people that have made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to Nepal. You won't regret it, not for a second!

This was our first time in Nepal (father and adult daughter travelling together) and it was a real adventure. Our guide Ishwar was excellent and we always felt safe and made some memories which will stay with us forever.
