    Tamang Heritage trek begins with drive from Kathmandu heading due north; the nearest Himalayan range of the capital. Which  also touches the border of Tibet-China on the old and present Trans-Himalayan Trade Route of the two countries.

    As drive leads from warmer valley, reach cooler alpine hills within the land of Tamang. With nice and impressive villages to explore after the drive from Syabrubesi and Dhunche. Dhunche is a headquarter town of Rasuwa district with Langtang Himal.
