Today’s walk begins along a flatter section of trail, then descends to Timure. It follows part of the old trade route to Tibet, and in fact, Tibet is not far away—just three hour walk. However, it’s not possible to walk across the border these days, and there’s a heavy police presence along the roads in this area.
After lunch, the trail continues to Briddim, another Tamang village, where you’ll stay in a local home for a truly unique experience. All accommodation, lodgings, and food are offered at local houses on a rotational basis, so you can be sure that your stay benefits the whole community and not just one or two enterprising families (as is sometimes the case with hotels and lodges).

During the Tamang Heritage trek, most of your accommodations contain attached bathrooms, while some teahouses may not, and you may have to share the washing and toilet facilities. Kathmandu and the trekking regions in lower elevations will have sing room facilities, but it will be hard to find them at higher elevations.
You will also enjoy typical Nepalese food and international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Indian, etc.) during your Tamang Heritage trek. Be sure that the lodges or teahouses will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner as per their available menu. You may not be served breakfast somewhere during your trek.

You can charge your electrical devices at hotels and lodges because there are no power outages. In the Himalayan region, however, hotel owners may levy a nominal fee.
As per your wish, we can combine the Langtang Valley trek and the Gosaikund trek with the Tamang Heritage Trail. You can continue directly to the Lama hotel instead of returning to Syabrubesi from Briddim. This way, you can keep your trail to KyanjinGompa, which offers magnificent and panoramic views of the Langtang Himalaya ranges. While returning, you can stop at ThuloSyabru and then Syabrubesi. To extend, you must add 3-4 days to the trek.
The top-rated trek among domestic and international treks is Gosaikund Trek. This trek has significance and is an excellent trek with more challenges in this area. You can add this trek along with the Langtang Valley trek to experience more adventure. This trek should only be attempted on the return from Langtang because the chances of suffering from the high altitude can not be ignored. You must add more than three days for this trek.
The best experience we had with Peregrine was the whole tour of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek was tailor-made for our requirements; all our requests were reviewed, discussed, and accepted and, in some instances, with a better recommendation.
