Celebrate Lhosar — the Himalayan new year of the Tamang, Gurung and Sherpa peoples — with treks through the very villages where it's born.
Lhosar is the new year celebrated by Nepal's Himalayan peoples — Tamu Lhosar (Gurung), Sonam Lhosar (Tamang) and Gyalpo Lhosar (Sherpa/Tibetan) — across the winter months with feasting, masked dances and monastery ceremonies.
Trekking the Tamang Heritage region, Langtang or the Khumbu during Lhosar means experiencing the festival in the communities where it originates — a rare cultural immersion.
Winter brings short days and cold nights but also the year's most stable, crystal-clear skies and gloriously empty trails.
12% Lhosar discount applied at booking on the treks above — message us to confirm your dates.
There are three Lhosars: Tamu Lhosar (around 30 December), Sonam Lhosar (January/February) and Gyalpo Lhosar (February/March), celebrated by the Gurung, Tamang and Sherpa/Tibetan communities respectively.
Yes, with the right preparation. Lower and mid-altitude treks like Langtang are excellent in winter; high passes may be snow-bound. We advise on the safest route for the season.
