Then the road launches towards the Trishuli River, about a day’s drive.

The day begins with the descending towards Thanguchet alongside a river. After lunch, you will again follow the trail enjoying hanging the bridge and climbing the hills to Tatopani. Many places are named Tatopani all over Nepal, which means ‘hot water.’ You will stay overnight here and enjoy your natural hot springs. According to the locals, it is believed that the hot spring helps heal the pain and aches from the trek.

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.

Trip Information

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.
