After an early start and breakfast at the hotel, you'll rendezvous with your guide in the reception area to embark on a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. The crossroad town of Syabrubesi serves as the gateway to the Tamang Heritage Trail, nestled amidst the green hills near the Langtang National Park. Along the journey, you'll pass charming villages, farmlands, and the Trishuli River, stopping for lunch on the way. After traversing less-traveled roads and ascending through Dunche, you'll reach Syabrubesi for the night, settling into a teahouse for dinner and a well-deserved rest.

As the day breaks, fueled by a satisfying breakfast, we set off on our exciting journey. After a 2 to 3-hour climb, we reach a stunning viewpoint offering panoramic views of the Ganesh Himal, LangtangLirung, and Gosainkunda range. Descending eagerly, we make our way through the charming Golijang valley before reaching Gatlang, a beautiful Tamang village nestled among terraced fields.
