With
diverse range of brilliant green valley's misty rhododendron
forests and distant horizons of snowy peaks. Helambu is
the ideal short trek there are simple teahouses along
this route. Yet the area remains relatively unspoilt by
tourism. You will experience the yolmo culture of high
mountains villages, marvel at vistas of lonely high mountains
and watch enthralled as the farmers toil in the fields
using handmade tools and teams of water buffalo. Helambu
lies to the north of Kathmandu and offers the nearest
experience of Sherpa culture without having to go to Everest
region.The Sherpa village of Tarke Ghyang that forms the
focus of Helambu is a charming enclave of farmers and
yak herders. The trip starts with a scenic drive from
Kathmandu to Sundarijal. Helambu provides an instant Himalayan
trek for those with limited time. This trek is an easy
and enjoyable trip conducted at the average altitude of
3500m. The trek takes you through Thadepati to Tarke Gyang,
where a choice of trails opens up. However we go along
the south ridge through Sermathang, down to the river
at Melamchi, the site of a mega project to bring drinking
water to Kathmandu via a series of tunnels. The trek concludes
with a drive down to Kathmandu via Panchkhal, after a
night's camp at Melamchi Bridge.
