Tamang Heritage trek is easily accessible from Kathmandu which is community based trekking package between Ganesh Himal and Langtang range. The Tamang people inhabiting these areas still follow their traditional ways of life as most of their culture puts emphasis on not diverging from their cultural roots and thus one would be pleased to see traditional people who have so far kept their way of life without insulating themselves from greater mainstream of Nepalese society.

Every villages have their traditional Gompas, shamans(jhankris) and every family has their special Buddhist ‘Yidam’ and book to practice every morning. The shamans are believed to be traditional healers as well as medium of communication between the spirits of the otherworld and it is quite a sight to behold when they are immersed in their spiritual practices while helping the needs of common folks.
