| Tamang Heritage Trail. |
 |
|
|
|
This is a superb
introduction to trekking in Nepal among some of
the most beautiful scenery in the whole country,
with rich tamang culture. Many years ago Nepal,
fought with Tibet for salt and some of the
biggest areas where this war took place is in
the Langtang Region of Nepal, wherein lies the
third most popular trekking trail in Nepal. This
area is connected to Tibet and the trails in
this region were used by traders from Tibet
bartering in Salt and mountain goats for meat (changra)
with foodstuffs from the south. Developed by the
Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Program,
the "Tamang Heritage Trail" is the newly
developed tourism product, off the beaten track,
which highlights an ancient lifestyle combining
it with picturesque scenery and healing baths in
natural hot springs.
The people of this region are mostly Tibetans
who came from Kerung in Tibet across the border
and settled in Nepal. In earlier days, the
citizenship of Nepal would not be offered to
real Tibetans, so they changed their ethnicity
to Tamang, which is what they still write till
date. The cultural and traditions of these
people are similar to the Tibetan across the
border. The trail starts either from Dhunche or
Syabrubesi and passes through Goljung, Gatlang,
Chilime, Thuman, Timure and Briddim. The trail
may end back in Syabrubesi or follow the
Langtang trek from Briddim village via Khanjim.
Nepal visitors
recommended you, tamang heritage trail is a
unique homestay program in langtang region.
Goljung and Gatlang are traditional Tamang
villages. While Goljung has ancient monastery,
Gatlang set high on a hillside among terraced
fields is the Tamang settlement. One can also
visit a Tamang monastery and the beautiful
Parvatikunda Lake at Gatlang. From the viewpoint
at Bahundanda near these settlements, one can
also see a panoramic view of Lantang, Kerung,
and the Ganesh Himal, Sanjen Himal ranges.
After the trek of several days, bathing in the
hot, healing waters of the natural spring at
Tatopani en route from Gatlang to Chilime is an
exhiliarating experience. Brimdang offers
cultural experience at community-run home-stay,
while Nagathali in Thuman VDC is surrounded by
beautiful views of Langtang, Kerung, Ganesh
Himal and Sanjen Himal ranges. Nagthali used to
be a popular meditation center for the local
monks and priests. Next is Timure on the old
trade route to Tibet. A fort at Rasuwagadi in
Timure is a historical reminder of the
Nepal-Tibet relations that has existed for many
centuries. A suspension bridge here links Nepal
and Tibet.
The trail ends at Briddim which lies on the lap
of Langtang Himal. Briddim offers warm Tamang
hospitality at the home-stays run by community
members. In addition, visitors can also visit
local monasteries of Dukchu Gomba (monastery)
chosen as sacred site by the great Tibetan Lama
- Guru Rinpoche and Chukla Khnaga Gomba. |
