The trails are challenging with long, steep climbs and descents, often through deep forests or across glacial mountain views and interesting villages with well-established lodges.One of the nearest trekking destinations from Katmandu lies an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and cultural riches of Lang tang, Rasuwa. Linked by roads, this region offers a life unfolding and unique experience.Previously a restricted area near the Tibetan border, the unexplored regions of the Lang tang National park has recently been developed into the Tamang Heritage Trail. The people in this place are mostly of Tamang and Tibetan origin, whose culture goes back to hundreds of years. The craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone houses and the beautifully carved wooden porches reflect the solitude and the serenity of the Himalayan scenery.
