The "Tamang Heritage Trail" is the newly developed tourism aspect deviating from the regular track which highlights an ancient lifestyle of the Tamang people major inhabitants of the langtang region. The people of this region are mostly Tibetans who came from Kerung in Tibet hence the culture and traditions of these people are similar to Tibetan across the border. Since in early days, real Tibetans didn't get Nepali citizenship they changed their ethnicity to Tamang, which is what they still write till date. About 150 years ago, Nepal fought with Tibet for salt and some of the biggest war areas of that time lie in the Langtang Region of Nepal.

This trekking destination is just a day long bus journey from the capital, Kathmandu. This trek provides insights into the Tamang rituals, Tibetan culture, festivals, traditional architecture and costumes .Visitors will get an opportunity to observe Syabru, Mane and other local dances at Goljung and Gatlang VDCs.

The ancient monasteries and houses adorned with rich wood engravings at Thuman is yet another unforgettable experience.
