El Programa de Turismo para el Alivio de la Pobreza Rural desarrolló el Tamang Heritage Trail Trek, uno de los destinos de senderismo más cercanos a Katmandú. Esta experiencia de nueva creación, fuera de los caminos trillados, pone de relieve un estilo de vida ancestral. El recorrido combina paisajes impresionantes con relajantes baños en aguas termales naturales.
Se trata de una excelente introducción para los senderistas. Esta zona está conectada con el Tíbet y los senderos de esta región los utilizaban los comerciantes del Tíbet para hacer trueques de sal y carne de cambio (cabra montés) con alimentos del sur. Los habitantes de esta región son en su mayoría tibetanos que llegaron de Kerung, en Tíbet, a través de la frontera y se establecieron en Nepal.
Antes, no se ofrecía la ciudadanía de Nepal a los verdaderos tibetanos, por lo que cambiaron su etnia por la de tamang, que es la que siguen escribiendo hasta la fecha. La cultura y las tradiciones de este pueblo son similares a las del Tíbet, al otro lado de la frontera. Durante el trekking de la Ruta del Patrimonio Tamang, que discurre por senderos inexplorados y ofrece una experiencia totalmente salvaje, explorarás aldeas Tamang tradicionales, una cultura, una vida, una artesanía y una naturaleza vírgenes y prácticamente intactas. Recibirás una cálida bienvenida de los lugareños, ataviados con sus coloridos trajes típicos y sus casas adornadas con bellas tallas de madera. Esta región ofrece una experiencia de naturaleza salvaje con bellos paisajes de terreno alpino, praderas llanas y bosques de rododendros. Aún hay osos, leopardos, panda rojo y ciervos almizcleros. Durante los meses de marzo y abril, los bosques de rododendros están en plena floración y tienen muchas especies diferentes de árboles, aves y mariposas.
Tras desayunar temprano, conduce hacia el norte desde Katmandú en dirección a Syabru Besi. Sigue las sinuosas carreteras hacia el Bazar de Trisuli, pasando por numerosos asentamientos bulliciosos y densos bosques. Una vez llegues a Syabrubesi, dirígete a tu alojamiento y descansa. A partir de mañana comienza tu trekking.
Pasa la noche en Syabrubesi.
Comidas: desayuno, almuerzo, cena
Tras dos o tres horas de ascenso desde Syabrubesi, llegarás a un mirador desde donde presenciarás fantásticas vistas del Ganesh Himal, la cordillera de Gosainkunda y el Langtang Lirung. A continuación, baja al valle de Goljang, que está a una hora a pie de nuestro mirador. Camina por varios pueblos a lo largo del sendero y visita y explora chortens budistas y muros mani. Gatlang es una hermosa aldea tamang situada en lo alto de una ladera entre campos en terrazas.
Pasa la noche en casa de familia o albergue.
Hoy, el trekking comienza descendiendo hasta Thangbuchet, cerca del pueblo de Chilime, junto al río Bhotekoshi. Aquí se encuentra la presa hidroeléctrica de Chilime. Después de Chilime, comienza a ascender primero cruzando un pequeño puente colgante, y continúa hasta llegar a Tatopani. El sendero tiene unas vistas excepcionales de la cordillera Langtang y el Himal Ganesh. Tatopani significa "agua caliente", donde uno puede limpiarse en las fuentes termales naturales. Los lugareños creen que las aguas tienen una cualidad curativa que alivia tus dolores y molestias. Sumérgete en las aguas calientes curativas de este manantial del Himalaya.
Pasa la noche en el albergue.
Hoy es el día más largo de tu viaje. Despiértate temprano y, después de desayunar, dirígete hacia Nagthali, situado a una altitud de 3165 metros, que antaño se utilizaba como popular centro de meditación para los monjes locales. Este es el paso más alto de la zona, se encuentra en una pradera alta y abierta, y ofrece vistas panorámicas de las cordilleras nevadas de Langtang Lirung, Kerung, Ganesh Himal y Sanjen. A continuación, desciende a Thuman, una aldea tamang de fuerte influencia tibetana. Si tienes suerte, podrás cruzarte con grandes tropas de monos langur grises y otros animales salvajes de la región. Una vez llegues a Thuman, visita los antiguos monasterios y las casas adornadas con ricos grabados en madera.
Pasa la noche en el albergue.
Hoy atravesarás bosques de rododendros y praderas de cuento de hadas. Sigue el sendero descendente y llega al asentamiento de Bridim, otra comunidad tamang de influencia tibetana situada en las faldas del Himal Langtang. Hay unas 43 casas distribuidas en forma de Z. La mayoría de las casas son de piedra y tienen tejados de teja partida. Aquí, pasea por la aldea y detente junto a los lugareños para charlar amistosamente y conocer a otros senderistas de la ruta del Langtang compartiendo historias.
Pasa la noche en el albergue o en la casa de familia.
Sigue el río Bhote Kosi por el lado izquierdo del valle hacia el norte y luego regresa por el lado opuesto. Atravesando arrozales y campos de maíz, descenderás finalmente a Syabrubesi.
Pasa la noche en el albergue.
Por la mañana, después de desayunar, dirígete a Katmandú. Una vez en Katmandú, recorre el valle o haz algunas compras de recuerdos. Más tarde, por la noche, participa en una cena especial que marcará el final de tu aventura.
Pasa la noche en el hotel.
Comidas: Desayuno, comida, cena
