Helambu Trek Overview

Langtang Helambu Trek is the perfect trekking option for adventure seekers who have very limited time at their disposal. The Helambu Valley circuit is incredibly famous for its natural beauty and wonderful climate, with superb views of the magnificent snow-covered mountains. The Helambu trekking trail leads through two different national parks—Langtang National Park and Shivapuri National Park—and we can see the gorgeous village of Helambu, surrounded by apple orchards.

Within the Helambu Valley circuit, the area covers typical highland Sherpa villages along with beautiful rhododendron and pine forests. The Helambu Trek lies just to the east of Kathmandu, at a maximum elevation of 3510 meters. The Hyolmo people’s traditional decorations in their kitchens and dining areas are quite motivating, and their dress and varieties of jewelry reflect their own traditional style. The Helambu trek is a simple and enjoyable trip conducted at a typical altitude of 3500 meters.

We begin our 9-day trip in Kathmandu with a visit to UNESCO World Heritage sites. The next day, we will start heading to the Helambu treks, which will offer you an extraordinary encounter with the local culture and lifestyle of Hyolmo Sherpa, Tamang ethnicity, and highlanders.

We provide you with an extraordinary trek on the Helambu Valley circuit, leaving you with wonderful and enjoyable memories.
