Helambu Village Trek - 07 Days

Overview
Helambu trek is a perfect short trek nearby Kathmandu Valley. Despite being so close to Kathmandu, the Helambu region remains relatively un-spoilt. Besides the Hyolmo culture of high mountain people, the company of green rhododendron and bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of most diverse treks near Kathmandu. The specialty of this trekking route is the rich cultural heritage and hospitality of the Sherpa people who inhabit in the Helambu region.

The trek begins from Sundarijal (1350 m) and ends in Melamchi pull Bazaar (850 m) which goes up to a maximum altitude of 3597 meters at Tharepati village. The amazing countryside is full of Buddhist monasteries, pilgrimage and delicious apples. The apples, gorgeous Helambu girls and its monasteries have enhanced Helambu a trekkers’ paradise. There are plenty of tea-house accommodations along the route. The trail leading to Chisopani starts with the tangible steps alongside the pipeline that brings drinking water to Kathmandu. The trail climbs further to Chisopani, (2300 m) from Mulkharka which offers amazing Himalayan views across the valley. Gradually the trail runs down to Paati Bhanjyang (1770 m). From Chip ling (2170 m) the trail climbs up to a pass at an altitude of 2470 meter before descending to Thodang Betini (2250 m) forested ridge, the trail descends to a Tamang village of Gul Bhanjyang, a hill village at an altitude of 2140 meter.

This is ideal for those people who don't have much time in Nepal or would like to make it before commencing adventurous or alpine type of trekking such as 3 Cols, Upper Dolpo etc. The most important benefit of this trek is that the area is less crowded & free from noise and air pollution. Many trekkers come down from Gosainkunda Pass or across the Ganja-La pass from Kyanjin Gompa and Panch Pokhari area to take advantage of short overland journey to get back to Kathmandu via Helambu Route.
