Tamang Cultural Tour. A Royal Enfield Road Tour To The Langtang National Park. Ride with us on one of our Royal Enfield Bullets and explore the history and culture of the Tamang People in the Langtang Valley on an Enfield. The Tour duration is 3 to 6 days, depending upon the season. The Langtang Valley, north of the Kathmandu Valley is home to a large Tamang community whose ancient culture, customs and traditions live on in this beautiful green steep-sided valleys, centred in the Langtang National Park. Tamang festivals attract large numbers of visitors both local and foreign and combine ancient Tantric Buddhist rituals as well as Hindu practices. Some of these festivals span 4 or 5 days and are about 2,000m. above the road. If a tour coincides with a festival we make arrangements to Trek in the mountains leaving behind our motorcycles, to participate in the festive nature of these special cultural events.
