The Helambu Trek is one of Nepal’s most exquisitely designed short treks. This trek leads you through the Himalayan region of Helambu, admiring the Langtang’s mountain ranges. It’s also one of the closest Himalayan trekking routes from Kathmandu. Even though it is closer to the capital, the beauty and purity of the region remain unaffected. It allows you to see it in its purest form.
Magnificent peak views and Hyolmo traditional attractions of the Helambu area combine to construct an unforgettable mountain trekking experience. The uniqueness of the people’s way of life in the area is motivating that it fills a positive impact on everyone.
The trek starts from the drive to Sundarijal and hikes up to Chisapani, a wonderful tiny village with pictorial surrounding views and stunning sunrise. After that, traverse through the grasslands and fields, crossing Kutumsang, Thadepati, and Tarke Ghyang, we reach Helambu taking in the spectacular views of the Langtang Mountains.
Helambu village is the settlement of the Yolmo community, with one of the region’s oldest and largest monasteries. The Helambu valley is home to pine forests, sluggish rivers and flowing mountain streams rough cliff and snow-capped mountains, forested valleys, and rolling hills scattered with daisies and wild primulas. Throughout the upper part of the valley, snow bridges, span-raging torrents, high passes shrouded in fog, mini lakes have chunks of ice on them, and crystal-clear waters. Spending a day there, we trek to Sermathang, then Melamchi Pul Bazar across the Melamchi Khola. Here, the trek ends, and then drive back to Kathmandu.
This Helambu trek is comfy because the altitudes are lower, ranging from 800m to 3600m, resulting in less climbing and warmer temperatures. Like this trek, we offer other short treks also. And we don’t bound you by our thoughts, you can customize the trip, and if you need any help to customize the trip, we will always be there to help you.
