The trek begins on the same path as the Langtang Harana Trek but soon leads you to the stunning Tamang highlands and villages in the Helambu region, renowned for the Sherpas. Among the Sherpa towns along your route, you will visit the beautiful TarkeGhyang, which resembles the high-altitude villages of Mustang, Dolpo, and even Ladakh, without difficulty or altitude risk and compromise.
