Overview

Helambu Trek Information

Helambu Trek information provides the details of the trip to  Helambu Trek. This is one of the short and easy trekking routes near Kathmandu Valley. Popular for its amazing natural and cultural wonders, Helambu is a peaceful village dominated by the Hyalmo people. The people who follow Buddhism have been practicing the methods for years now. Combined with the Tamang and Sherpa people, they are two of the tribes living in the Himalayan belt of Nepal. 

The exciting trek to Helambu also allows us to collect the fascinating views of Ganesh Himal (7,406m), Langtang Lirung (7,345m), and Gaurishankar (7,145m). Regarded as one of the easiest and low-altitude treks, the maximum elevation of the Helambu trek is 3500 meters above sea level. Walking through the dense forest of rhododendrons, bamboo, and pine forests to the green meadows, this trip offers fabulous views of the diverse landscapes too. 

As the trek goes inside Shivapuri National Park, the occasional encounters of wildlife are expected. Whereas, citing the different kinds of perfect is normal. Walking through the farmlands and via the small local settlements, this trek truly offers to witness the local lifestyle and experience the way of living of the mountain people. 

Like other trekking in Nepal, Helambu Trek is also a seasonal trip. The best time to trek to Helambu is the months of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). The months of winter (December to February) are also a good time to trek. But Helambu Trekking in the months of monsoon (June to August) is less recommendable.

Reviews

Best helambu trek

I recently completed the Helambu Trek with Adventure a One Treks and it was an amazing experience. The accommodation was perfect for the trek, with comfortable beds and warm showers. The food was also delicious and plentiful. The guide was exceptional. he was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. he was always willing to help and answer any questions we had. The cost of the trek was very reasonable and the value we received was more than worth it. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I highly recommend Adventure a One Treks for anyone looking to visit the Helambu region. 5 stars!
