Exploring Langtang Region is not only about the beautiful vista of the Himalayas. This region also offers an opportunity to know and witness the age-old culture of the people living in this region. The people living in this region are Tibetans who came to Nepal from Kerung Border and settled here changing their ethnicity to Tamangs. This trek provides an opportunity to experience their rituals, culture, and tradition and know about their festivals. Local Syaphru Dance is the major attraction of this trip. You will observe Syaphru, Mane and other local dances at Goljung and Gatling VDCs. You can also buy some exclusive handicraft items like traditional caps, mufflers, and other items. This trek offers you a peek into everyday lives of the Tamangs. At Tatopani (hot spring), you can dip in the healing hot-water before reaching Nagthali, where the stay is a unique experience. The ancient monasteries and houses adorned with rich wood engravings at Thuman are some unforgettable memories to cherish. Besides, this could be an opportunity to experience the Tamang hospitality as they have the facility of homestay in almost 24 households. All accommodation and food are offered at individual houses with clean bed and toilet. You will be offered scrumptious Tamang food with a local brew.
