Trip Reviews
To understand Tamang culture and how they spend lives was our main motto which we have succeeded only because of Trekking Team Group. Many thanks to Shree and Arjun who have enormous knowledge about the community. We were in Nepal to do a research about the Tamang community and their culture for our university project. We have gained significant facts about the community that reflects their living standard, their origin, and their culture. If you want to have local living experience or home stay trek in Nepal then definitely the Tamang Heritage trail would be your best choice.

Additional Information
This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the destinations on this site are in remote, underdeveloped areas where unpredictability is the norm. Despite careful planning and organization, our adventure trips can’t be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places we visit lack the emergency health and safety services you’re used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is often uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotel standards may not match those of the West.
If you’re not prepared for this, you shouldn’t travel with us. The unpredictability also means that our itineraries are statements of intent, not contractual obligations. Factors such as weather, transport difficulties, and political instability might require us to change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any necessary changes after consulting with the group. Such changes are rarely significant, and we always do our best to minimize their impact. However, we cannot be held responsible for changes or delays, regardless of their cause.
