Facts About Helambu Village Trek
Trip Overview
The Helambu Village Trek is a perfect short trek nearby Kathmandu Valley. Despite being so close to Kathmandu, the Helambu region remains relatively un-spoilt. Besides the hyolmo culture of high mountain people, the company of green rhododendron and bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of most diverse treks near Kathmandu. The great Himalayan scenery at the border with Tibet and monasteries make a trek to the region an enthralling experience. The people living the highlands of the Langtang region are certainly the Nepalis, being the descendant of the Tibetan origin, they still look like Tibetans.
The Helambu VIllage Trek begins from Sundarijal, an hour’s drive from Kathmandu. After about an hour’s walk, we enter Shivapuri National Park. Continuing along the Chisopani, Kutumsang, Thadepati and Sermathang, the trek ends at the Melamchi Pul Bazar in the Helambu region. The trek passes through thick mountain forests with great Himalayan views and toward the end of the trip, you will also trek through some beautiful rice terraces and a number of splendid Buddhist monasteries.

I have a fondness for visiting Nepal, especially during summer vacations. This time, I sought a straightforward and close-to-Kathmandu adventure, leading me to opt for the 8-day Helambu trek. It turned out to be a perfect choice. The trek was a delightful blend of waterfalls, mountain valleys, rich cultural encounters, and captivating village vistas. Wandering along the trails through Sundarijal's rhododendron, oak, and pine-filled forests was an adventure in itself. Life Dream Adventure, my go-to vacation agency, ensured a seamless experience with their exceptional customer service. And don't forget to keep an eye out for the stunning mountain views along the route—they're truly spectacular!
