Helambu Circuit Sundarijal-Timbu Helambu Trekking Nepal
The Helambu region is a very interesting alternative for those who may find the Annapurna and Everest trekking routes too crowded. The region is easily accessible by road and offers a multitude of possible treks and majestic places. The Helambu region is located North of Kathmandu. Helambu is a densely forested area covered with lush vegetation, pine and rhododendron forests. There is plenty of water, rivers and rivulets cascading down the mountains slopes. The region is mainly inhabited by the Sherpas and Tamang communities.
There are several trekking routes in this area; Helambu Circuit Trekking, Helambu-Gosainkunda-Langtang, the Langtang valley trek, Panch Pokhari and Jugal Himal treks as well as longer treks that combine these different routes.
The Helambu Circuit Trekking brings visitors into the heart of Helambu region, also known as ‘Hyolmo’ culture, which is mainly inhabited by Sherpas and Tamang communities. The Helambu Circuit Trekking offers a typical view of the classic landscape of the Himalayan foothills and brings visitors into the traditional culture of the Sherpas and Tamang, known also for their neat and tidy kitchen full of shining copper and brass dishes. The Helambu Circuit Trekking can either start from Sundarijal, at the outskirts of Kathmandu, or from Melamchi, the local and important trading center. The Helambu Circuit trekking offers many alternative routes varying in length, but all of them are rather easy treks and within reach of anyone, even for amateur trekkers. The Helambu Circuit trekking brings the visitors in fast changing landscape where they are met with smiles with hearty welcome from the local folks. It offers striking views of the surrounding hills and mountains, going through terraced green fields with the ornament of the Melamchi river and other streams and majestic waterfalls. These short and easy treks provide the visitors a short shot of the real face of Nepal.
The Jugal Himal region proposes other possible alternative treks which are not much frequented by foreign visitors. One of these destinations are the five sacred lakes of Panch Pokhari. The Jugal Himal trek offers to lucky visitors views over the Himalayan peaks such as Lapka Dorje, Chobha Vabre and Gaurishankar.
