The
Helambu region is a relatively
low altitude trek and one of the
most convenient short trek close
to Kathmandu. With a diverse range
of brilliant green valleys, misty
rhododendron forests and distant
horizons of snowy peaks make this
trip a reasonable and measurable
one. You will experience the Yolmo
culture of high mountain villages,
marvel at vistas of lonely high
mountains and watch enthralled
as the farmers toil in the fields
using hand-made tools and teams
of water-buffalo. This place has
scenic grandeur and pleasant climate
as well as a long history of Buddhism,
culture and ancient tradition
of Tamang and Sherpas. In Helambu
region the Sherpa are quite distinct
from the Sherpas of Solu khumbu(Everest
region) both in language and customs.
The ranges of mountains that rise
above us match the diversity of
the people we meet. From low altitudes
we have excellent views of mountains
that include Langtang, the Annapurnas,
Manaslu and even Everest on a
clear day.
