trip overview

Around 80 kilometers from Kathmandu, in Nepal, is the highland area of Helambu. The Helambu area is the location of a 7-day trek offered by Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd. It is simple to reach the Helambu Circuit trek from Kathmandu.

Trekking the Helambu Circuit Trek takes a week. For hikers with short vacations, it is the ideal journey. Similarly, If you hike in this area, you’ll enter and pass through the Langtang National Park for this journey, we must present our trekking permits at the checkpoint at Magen Goth, 3280 meters.

The Himalayan Rescue Dog team is based in Sundarijal (1,390 m (4,560 ft), a small dam and hydropower facility in the northeastern portion of Kathmandu Valley, where the Helambu trek starts. The route starts at Shivapuri National Park near the end of the auto road, where the enormous water pipe emerges from the hills to the west of Sundarijal.

There is now a bus service from Boudhanath Kathmandu to Sundarijal. Likewise, you can choose to walk or hail a taxi. From Sundarijal to Pati Bhanjyang. However, jeep service is now available every day.

The majority of the journey is upstairs as you continue along its west side after crossing beneath the pipe. After 40 minutes, go left to pass a dam (1,585 m (5,200 ft)) of a water reservoir, Continue climbing after passing the watershed management road, which snakes around the slope, across the dam.

The lodge is not far from here. In an hour, you may ascend through a damp subtropical forest, through oak woodland, and reach Mulkharkha, a dispersed Tamang town with lodges and a view of the Kathmandu Valley behind you.

The region to the north of Mulkharkha has occasionally seen assaults, so don’t go there alone. To reach the Sherpa settlement of Melamchi Ghyang, one must continue along the overall ridge system, traveling north. On the east side of the river, Tarke Gyang is located opposite Melamchi Ghyang.

The other travels east falls to the Melamchi Khola and then climbs its east (left) bank. Similarly, the ridgeway ascends significantly higher than the other route (about 3,700 m (12,000 ft)), and in the late winter or early spring, there may be snow on its highest sections.

Between Khutumsang and Melamchi Ghyang, there are no permanent communities, but if you leave Kutumsang in the morning. You may go to Tharepati, where there are lodges. This section of the trail has some of the best mountain vistas. Consider spending the night high up in a seasonal lodge or hoping for views in Tharepati if it is overcast.

It is common in the late afternoon. Then, pray for clear skies the following morning. Additionally, Helambu is a Buddhist pilgrimage location and is well-known for its delicious apples and gorgeous Buddhist buildings. The founder of Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet, Padmasambhava, is thought to have lived in Helambu.
