Tamang Heritage Trail newly opened for trekkers as it was a restricted area which lies near the Tibetan border. The main highlight of the trek is an ancient lifestyle of indigenous Tamang ethnic group which is one of the most popular ethnic groups of Nepal. It is a newly developed tourism product, off the beaten track, which also highlights healing baths in natural hot spring. This is a unique test of the culture and its landscape of Nepal. There are not well-developed lodges as another popular trekking region has but very basic accommodations are available where you get basic Nepali and Tibetan food. This trek leads you through the popular Tamang village where many ancient Gompas (Gompa is a place where people goes for meditation) and Buddhist pray rocks are set around the village and even on the walking trail.

Our guides are trained and licensed from Nepal Gov, certify from TAAN & Nepal Mountaineering Association. All of our leading Trekking and Climbing Guide are experience from last 8 to 10 years. We have train them specially for your trip, to cater the flexible needs of our peoples in the group joining from different countries, this double assure you that your trip is at the right and professional hands.

 At every trip, there would be our one Trek leader and one assistance leader on each additional 2 peoples on the trek- this arrangement would ensure that even if any of our guide/ assistance guides get sick or if any travelers gets sick and need to be back or delay the days of walking, it would still works smoothly and there would not be any impact on our original trek plan.

Acclimatization 
There is no way to prepare for altitude other than to spend time at altitude. Being in very good physical condition will help ameliorate some of the exhaustion that people often feel, but it will not prevent altitude caused medical problems such as Acute Mountain Sickness. This itinerary is designed with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) in mind and to ensure a comfortable and safe adventure trek in the Himalayas. Staying well hydrated and getting plenty of rest may help. 

The maximum elevation of this trek will be reached at Thorong la at altitude of 4130m above sea level. Obviously this altitude range is high, but as we would be e range of altitude, and we are hiking from the 820m to this altitude range with enough days of hiking en route, it is not considered a high risk zone for AMS. However, AMS could affect to the peoples indifferently.
