Tamangs are the mountain inhabitants residing adjacent to the Langtang range. Tamangs are among the oldest tribes in the mountains of Nepal. Initially, Tamangs were the Tibetan traders who used to trade horse, salt and meat from the Nepal- Tibet border. Later they migrated and settled in the Langtang region of Nepal as Tamangs. The influence of Tibetan culture in their lifestyle can still be noticed. The unspoiled vicinity of the Tamang villages still reflects their ancient culture. The area had prohibitions in explorations due to its closeness to the Tibetan border and is opened now with a goal of sustainable economical progress of the region with the help of tourism.
