Helambu is located approximately 72 kilometers from Kathmandu in the northeast. It is one of the most beautiful trekking destinations in the country. The Helambu Short Trek gives you a perfect picture of beauty in a moderate climatic ambiance. The word "Helambu" is derived from the name of a caste, "Helmu," who resided in the Tarkeghyang village at the time. Today, they are known as Sherpas. The Tamang and Sherpa settlements of the Helambu region give insight into their culture and way of life. Indeed, with majestic Himalayan views, trudging through verdant forests and acreages of pine and birch, it is a marvelous adventure.
The trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal (1,350m) and a hike to Chisapani. You will also be excursing through the Shivapuri National Park, home to many wild lives and plant species. Passing through the settlements at Mulkharka, you can encounter the Tamang people closely and visit many monasteries. Further on the trails of the Helambu Trek, you would be traversing through the passes of Pathi Bhanjyung and Gil Bhanjyang.
Magnificent views of the Himalayan ranges greet the eye at Yurin Danda. Tarkeghyang is a dainty Sherpa village where you can enjoy the alpine vegetation complimented by lovely rhododendron trees. You will see a beautiful natural quintessence of the woods and emerald flora when walking to Melamchi Gaon.
