Variant itinerary

You can combine the Tamang Heritage Trail with the Langtang Valley Trek or the Gosainkund Lake Trek. For the Langtang Trek, continue to Lama Hotel, instead of returning from Briddim to Syabrubesi. The Langtang Valley Trek provides stunning views of the Langtang Himalayas, which spreading around. Return by backtracking, stopping at Dhunche via Syabru Thulo. It will be adding about three to four days onto the trek.

The Gosainkund Trek is another excellent but more demanding trek in this region, which often combined with the Langtang Valley Trek and requires adding to the Tamang Heritage Trail for an extended adventure. Due to the altitude of the Gosainkunda Lake (4380 meters), it would be wise to attempt after the return trip from Langtang to prevent altitude sickness. Trekking to Gosainkunda will also add a further three days onto the trek.

Similarly, the Ruby Valley Trail is one of Nepal’s most recent additions. It blends beautiful landscapes with cultural immersion that you would expect from your trip to Nepal.
