INCLUDES LANGTANG & HELAMBU The Tamang Heritage Trail lies west
of the Langtang Valley. The scenic route passes through mainly
Tamang villages in the mid-hills that receive considerably fewer
tourists than the traditional, adjoining Langtang trek. Himalayan
panoramas and village vistas are sensational and home stay enables
a deeper cultural experience than can be had on more established
routes. The Tamang ethnic group comprises 6 percent of the total
population of Nepal, and Tamang are the predominant inhabitants of
Rasuwaa District where this route and the Langtang Valley lie.
Tamang have a distinct language and manner of dress, ornamentation
and craftsmanship, and many homes have ornately carved wooden
windows and porch fronts. This book provides the essentials for
entering the heart of Tamang country. Also includes Langtang,
Helambu, and Gosainkunda, popular trekking destinations north of
Kathmandu Valley. --Comprehensive and easy to use --Route
descriptions include the classic trails, alternate paths and
exclusive new routes with detailed maps *Side trips not found in
other guidebooks *Practical information and country background
*Complete trekking reference *Cover painting by Nicholas Roerich
