Tamang Heritage Trek
Great trip. Tamang Heritage Trek is off the beaten path - we saw nearly no other tourists and had some incredible cultural experiences.
Tamang Heritage Trail w/ Megendra
Myself and my partner had a fantastic trip, spending a week on the Tamang Heritage Trail. Our guide, Megendra, was an expert at navigating the trails, connecting with locals and telling us the history of the area. The business owner was very helpful in getting our trip arranged in only one day, and for a very fair price. I can definitely recommend Megendra and his company to anyone looking for a fantastic Nepal trek!
Beautiful landscape but poor guide
The guide had no understanding of high sickness. My friend got really sick and he didn’t have the equipment to check oxygen. We had to convince him to go down at lower altitude with her. He was not good in English and he touched us in an uncomfortable way and wanted hugs all the time… which was weird. He also walked way to fast, something you should not do when walking 1000meter up in one day. The trek is beautiful, and I would recommend doing it on your own, there is not many places to walk wrong and many dining and sleeping places at the way.
Positive experience
We had a great trek. The guide and porters were friendly, professional and flexible. This local travel specialist organised it well, jeeps were on time, equipment was in good condition. A very positive experience.
