Helambu Trek - 6 Days

Helambu Trek Overview

The Helambu trek is a perfect short trek near Kathmandu Valley. Despite being so close to Kathmandu, the Helambu region remains relatively unspoiled. Besides the hyolmo culture of high mountain people, the company of green rhododendrons and bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of the most diverse treks near Kathmandu. The great Himalayan scenery at the border with Tibet and monasteries makes a trek to the region an enthralling experience. The people living in the highlands of the Langtang region are certainly Nepalese; being descendants of Tibetan origin, they still look like Tibetans.

The Helambu Trekking Itinerary begins from Sundarijal, an hour's drive from the center of Kathmandu. After about an hour's walk, we enter Shivapuri National Park, where we have to get a permit to enter the national park. Continuing along the Chisopani, Kutumsang, Tharepati, and Sermathang, the trek ends at the Melamchi Pul Bazar in the Helambu region. The trek passes through thick mountain forests with great Himalayan views, and toward the end of the trip, you will also trek through some beautiful rice terraces and some splendid Buddhist monasteries. Other similar treks that you might be interested in include the Langtang Valley Trek. Tamang Heritage Trail Trek, Langtang Gosaikunda Trek, and Ganjala Pass Trek.

The Helambu trek itinerary will be 5 to 7 days, depending on your time and pace, and the trip cost varies according to group size and mode of tour organized by Wilderness Excursion.
