Gatlang village, located in Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality-3 of Rasuwa District, is renowned as the “Black Village.” Situated at an altitude of 2300 meters above sea level, this village is a picturesque tourist destination.

It preserves its traditional charm with houses featuring wooden roofs and a single wall. Inhabited solely by the Tamang caste, Gatlang is home to approximately 500 households. However, the post-earthquake reconstruction has posed challenges to its historical identity. Despite this, the village has embraced its new structures, which have a distinct color, attracting visitors who seek an authentic cultural experience and appreciate organic farming.

Gatlang is particularly famous for its delicious potatoes, beans, and lentils. Visitors to this naturally enchanting place can indulge in heavenly pleasure. The village can be reached within a day from the capital city, Kathmandu. On the Tamang heritage route, tourists can explore Gatlang, Parvati Kund, Thuman, Nagathali hot springs, and more.

Although the earthquake may have eroded the traditional identity of the houses, the locals have steadfastly preserved their originality.
