Entering to the Tamang hamlets let you experience the isolated lifestyle rituals, festivals, Tibetan culture, unique architecture, costumes and the local Syabru dance with a background of charming mountains. Explore the ancient Gompas, Buddhist prayer rocks engraved with sacred mantras and colorful prayer flags that mystify the Himalayan habitat of Tamang. 

Tamang is an ethnic group hugely settled in the lap of Langtang range, considered to be migrated from Burma via Tibet during 7th/8th centuries. Etymologically, Tamang originates from two words in the Tibetan language: "Ta" means Horse and "Mang" means Warrior. The warm hospitality of Briddim and joining with the host family, savoring local cuisine will make your trip awesome.
