This uniquely designed heritage trail for virtually all sorts of trekkers beginning at Syabrubesi takes you through exquisite cultural and natural magnificence. Besides the joy of viewing diversified landscapes inundated with natural opulence, it will be your great learning experience observing cultures of the Tamangs, interacting with them.
Cultural magnificence, because influenced by the Tibetan culture, and being remote, modernity has not crept in. Everything—arts, crafts, architecture, rituals, festivals, traditions, language, dresses—is still in its original form. Their hospitality is strikingly superlative.
Natural magnificence, because rolling hills, mountain peaks, and flora and fauna in the Langtang National Park are dazzling and unsurpassed.
The views of the Langtang Himal, the Ganesh Himal, and the Manaslu Himal are astoundingly alluring. In addition to it, the trek through the forest of rhododendrons is incomparably stunning. Chirping birds, rustling leaves, cool ambiance are greatly refreshing and balmy. In fact, the route is quite newly opened in the Langtang Region and is less crowded than a usual route which makes the scenic landscape more conducive to view and trek more enjoyable.
Langtang, Goljung, and Gatlang are some of the Tamang villages we will be passing through, which are incredible in terms of culture and tradition.
Local monasteries are ancient but aesthetically astonishing, and the monks in their maroon red robes will appear strikingly mysterious. Nevertheless, they are adorable. Moreover, the sacred Parwati Kunda Lake in Gatlang will be truly amazing to view.
The view of the Langtang Himalayan Range from the Nagthali Pass will be immensely gratifying.
Noted Buddhist spiritual sites, like Kyanjin Gompa, will be instrumental to peek into their meditation, rituals, and shamanism. Indeed, a fascinating experience!
Interestingly, the Langtang National Park in the Langtang region borders with Tibet and approximately 5000 people dwell in the park from where they collect timber and firewood.
The park hosts a huge variety of plants and animals—oak, maple, pine, different species of rhododendrons, and Himalayan black bear, Himalayan tahr, Assam macaque and red pandas. With 25% of it forested, the Park is a haven for exotic flora and fauna.
In fact, this heritage trail is equally cultural and natural. It is short and easy. But experience is great. The thrill is huge. Learning will be a lifetime treasure!
