Helambu Trek
With our Helambu Trek package, you can take a little walk to discover the splendour of Nepal’s Langtang region. Helambu trekking is a low-altitude, frequently less congested journey in contrast to the Everest base camp and Annapurna circuit treks. This is one of our shorter treks in the Langtang Region, northeast of the Kathmandu Valley.
Despite being close to the city, the area’s natural beauty and culture have not been impacted by industrialization. This will give you a glimpse of Nepal’s natural beauty as it truly is.
Some of the key highlights of the Helambu Trek are the beautiful scenery, friendly people, peaceful road, and perfect weather.
As part of the package, you will visit a number of Buddhist temples, shrines, and stupas built in the Tibetan style while trekking to Helambu. You will also pass through a few Tamang and Sherpa communities.
We will cross numerous ridgelines as the trail passes through dense forests filled with blooming rhododendron flowers. The gorgeous view and serene atmosphere created by the verdant fields are amazing.
We offer a 5-day trek to Helambu that is ideal for anyone seeking a less strenuous and more convenient adventure in the Himalayas without sacrificing the breathtaking scenery and unforgettable experiences. With our Helambu Trek package, you may enjoy both comfort and excitement. Make a reservation with us or get in touch with us with any questions.
The most popular hiking route in the Langtang region is the Helambu short trek. The best cost and itinerary for a 5-to 7-day circuit is provided by Nepal Trek Adventure. This trek can be started from Melamchi Bazar, which is around 60 km away, or Sundarijal, which is 26 km away, both from Kathmandu.
It is situated northeast of Kathmandu and stretches from Taramarang to the lower slopes of Jugal Himal and the tree line of Gosainkunda Lake. Numerous highland Tamang and Sherpa settlements may be found there, dispersed on both sides of the Melamchi Khola.
Helambu Short Trekking are tailored to the preferences of our guests, and we may create an itinerary to suit their needs. With mountains rising to the sky on both sides of the valley, the Langtang valley is fittingly named “the valley of glaciers” due to its breathtaking mountain scenery.
The valley is home to pine forests, meadows scattered with daisies and wild primulas, rocky outcrops and snow-capped summits, and fast-flowing rivers and mountain streams.
The valley’s upper reaches are home to furious torrents, mist-covered high passes, tiny lakes encrusted with icebergs, and sparkling clear waters. This walk is easier than the others because it is at a lower elevation—between 800 and 3600 meters—and has warmer temperatures and less climbing.
Here are some crucial pointers to help you have a more enjoyable and easy walk before you set out on the five-day Helambu walk.
Sundarijal -> Melamchi Bazar -> Kathmandu -> Tarke Gyang -> Khutumsang -> Tharepati -> Tarke Gyang -> Sermathang
The whole package is conducted strictly under the guidelines and rules of the Nepal Government act and arrangements. We are fully committed to providing the highest quality services and charming and hypnotising holiday so that one can experience the best ever journey with us. We carry out our duties genuinely and honestly to make your travel secure and happy.
We have provided a straightforward itinerary for your five-day trek to Helambu, which begins in Sundarijal, just an hour’s drive from the capital city of Kathmandu, and ends at Shivapuri National Park after around an hour of walking.
Surrounded by lush hills, the breathtaking scenery will infuse you with a sense of calm and energy. Continue trekking to reach one of the trip’s best viewpoints, Chispani.
You will be delighted by the magnificent vista of snow-capped peaks including Rolwaling, Jugal Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Gauri Shankar, Langtang Lirung, and Ganesh Himal.
Furthermore, Langtang National Park is a segment of the fascinating Helambu route, providing an excellent chance to witness various unusual animals and avian species.
Along the path, you’ll pass by various gompas, chortens, historic Buddhist temples, and mani walls that create a tranquil ambiance. You can spot red pandas, Himalayan Thar, Ghoral, Rhesus monkeys, Himalayan Black Bears, and langurs.
After that, the Helambu trip path will continue from Chispani to Thadepati, the hike’s highest point (3,650m).
The path meanders through terraced rice fields, a dense forest of bamboo and rhododendron, and cascading waterfalls. It also goes by a number of Sherpa communities, such as Kutumsang and Gul Bhanjyang.
Then, after admiring the spectacular Himalayan scenery from Thadepati, you will descend to Melamchi Gaun and cross the Melamchi Khola to arrive at Tarke Gyang, another Sherpa village.
The Helambu caste, often known as Helambu, makes up the bulk of the population in this village. After that, you’ll journey to Sermathang, another quaint town, via Chumik and Ghangyul. Lastly, you’ll travel to Kathmandu and approach Melamchi Pul Bazar.
The Helambu trip begins an hour’s drive from Kathmandu and ends in Sundarijal, a small dam and hydroelectric station. The trek passes through lush mountain woods, beautiful rice fields, and numerous magnificent Buddhist monasteries.
The Helambu trek is one of the most breathtaking treks you will ever experience. The view of the Langtang range will make your heart skip a beat. The locals’ simple way of life will inspire you, and their culture and traditions will positively influence you. This is one of the closest Himalayan treks from Kathmandu.
One of the greatest trekking destinations for all types of hikers is Helambu, which is well-known for its sweet, juicy apples. Other attractions of the Helambu trek include Buddhist pilgrimages and snow-capped mountains such as Gang Chhenpo, Jugal Himal, Nayagang Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Lirung.
Here are a few justifications for using NTA to arrange your Helambu hike.
You will have the chance to see breathtaking vistas of the untainted Himalaya range, a remote farm with intriguing Buddhist cultures, enchanting woodlands of rhododendron and oak, and intriguing old and mediaeval traditional villages with magnificent monasteries during the Helambu walk.
The main benefit of this trek is that, compared to the Annapurna and some parts of the Everest treks, it is less crowded and noisy. In addition, the trek offers a diverse range of cultures and breathtaking scenery. The Helambu Short Trek is an ideal short trek near Kathmandu Valley. The Helambu region is still relatively unspoiled despite its proximity to Kathmandu.
One of the most varied treks around Kathmandu, it offers breathtaking views of the snow-capped Himalayas, pristine bamboo and rhododendron forests, and the hyolmo culture of the high mountain people. Trekking in the region is captivating due to the great Himalayan scenery at the border with Tibet and the presence of monasteries.
Thus, if you would rather go on a five-day Helambu trekking adventure with RT, be sure to reserve this quick trip with us.
These are some of the main attractions of the Helambu trip; we guarantee that you can see all of these during your Helambu trek with our package.

The journey routes include long hikes, abrupt rises and descents, steep forward pathways that are often rocky, and they pass through various woodlands; the more fit you are, the more enjoyable and wonderful your travel will be.

High-altitude trekking requires appropriate sustenance, which is why we’ll provide you with a plentiful supply of tasty, hygienic, and nutrient-rich meals.
Your options will be limited to those found in larger cities; the further you are from the cities, the fewer alternatives you will have for meals. Over the course of the walk, you will be served five breakfasts, five lunches, and four dinners.
Our menu will consist of both conventional Western and Asian foods as well as plenty of fresh vegetables and plenty of water, green tea, lemon tea, hot tea, ginger tea, and garlic soup.
While there are plenty of non-vegetarian options on the hiking routes, we strongly advise against consuming them because of meat hygiene concerns. Dairy products, alcohol, and caffeine should also be avoided during the walk.
While it is feasible to climb to Helambu at any time of year, there are certain seasons that make the ascent significantly simpler. Ultimately, the weather is the most important element to take into account while making this decision.
The brilliant blue skies dazzle with the most breathtaking views, and there is no rain or heavy clouds to block sunlight during the spring and autumn. The skies are bright from midnight till daybreak.
