Helambu Circuit Trek

Helambu Circuit Trek is one of the short, easy and quiet but quite scenic and exciting trek, not too far away from the busy capital, Kathmandu. The trek passes through the villages inhabited by the Sherpa and Tamang people and offers views of the most of the mountain ranges from the central region of the country.

Helambu Circuit Trekking starts after just a couple of hours drive away from Kathmandu, with the terraced fields and mountains at distant horizon replacing the concrete buildings of the city. In addition, the views of the Lantang Range, Rolwaling Himal Range and Ganesh Himal Range in the sky and the terraced fields and the overlapping valleys below it, enchant the trekkers. Lantang Lirung (7227 meters), Dorje Lhakpa (6966 meters) and Gauri Shankar (6134 meters) are the famed mountains among many others visible on the trek.

Helambu Circuit Trek does not have the starring power of the higher mountains from the other parts of the country but it offers a typical Nepali culture of the hilly region yet to be influenced by the West along with a true Nepali hospitality by two of the major ethnical groups of the country, the famous Sherpa and the Tamang. The difference in the customs and traditions of the Sherpas from the Helambu and the Sherpas from the Khumbu region is another exciting and interesting aspect of the Helambu Trek. Finally, Helambu Circuit Trek is ideal for those travellers who have less time as well who don’t wish to travel too far from Kathmandu Valley.
