Helambu Trekking Trekking
The Sherpa village of Tarke Ghyang, which forms the focus of Helambu, is a charming enclave of farmers and yak herders. The trip starts with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal. Helambu provides an instant Himalayan trek for those with limited time. This trek is an easy and enjoyable trip conducted at an average altitude of 3500m. The trek takes you through Thadepati to Tarke Gyang, where a choice of trails opens up. However, we go along the south ridge through Sermathang and down to the river at Melamchi, the site of a mega project to bring drinking water to Kathmandu via a series of tunnels. The trek concludes with a drive to Kathmandu via Panchkhal, after a night's camp at Melamchi Bridge.
