With Elements of Yoga and Meditation
Your co-host for this trek will be the soulful and insightful yogini Anya, who has studied yoga philosophy and practice in India.

Trek’s features
Quiet and less-traveled route
Opened to tourists in the mid-2000s, the Tamang Heritage and Langtang trail winds through a culturally rich region near the Tibetan border. It is a true Himalayan gem, preserving the authentic customs and lifestyle of the Tamang people. Unlike the crowded routes such as Annapurna or Everest, this trek remains quiet and less frequented, offering travelers peace and a deeper immersion into the natural beauty and traditions of the local communities.
Beginner friendly
This trek is accessible to everyone, including beginners and first-timers to the Himalayas. The route includes scheduled acclimatization and rest periods, ensuring a comfortable trekking experience.
Moderate altitude
The maximum altitude of the trek is 3,830 meters (Kyangjin). Staying at this elevation does not require special preparation, though the moderate change in air pressure and thinner air will be noticeable. This altitude is considered safe and accessible for any healthy individual.
Sleeping in lodges and nutritious food
Each night, we stay in mountain lodges, where you'll sleep on beds in either single or double rooms. Facilities include phone charging, and you can enjoy a shower, or at least a bucket shower. In the common areas, you'll be served simple, nutritious meals and hot tea by the wood stove
Includes porter service
A team of porters will accompany us on the trek, carrying the majority of our gear between lodging points. We will only need to carry small, lightweight backpacks with daily essentials.
