Treks and Expeditions
Helambu Trek
The Sherpa villages and Buddhist religion are the main attraction in Helambu Trek. Being near and easy access from Kathmnadu, Helambu Trek is one of the short and sweet trek. Because of the low elevation and the Sherpa villages in this area, Helambu Trek makes it an interesting 6 day loop. Starting with a short drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal the trail to Helambu climbs on to the Shivapuri ridge from where there are sweeping views of the central Himalayas. Following a ridge-line the trek heads north to Thare Pati before turning east to Melemchi Gaon and Tarke Gyang the principle villages of this area. From here we visit Shermathang before descending to the Melamchi River to end our trek and we drive back from Melamchi Bazaar to Kathmandu.
