Helambu Village Trek

Helambu Village Trek

Travel safe, fun, meaningful and unforgettable

Nepal, a gem country in Asia, is a land of breathtaking peaks, raw natural beauty, and iconic traditional villages. If you have been searching for an easy and short trek that can serve all of those highlights, Helambu Village Trek by Sabbatical Explore Nepal is one to opt for. Located in the Langtang Region of Nepal, Helambu Village Trek is one of the awe-inspiring short treks to do. The trek goes about the Helambu Village, home to the Indigenous Hyolmo people and many Buddhist monasteries. Anyone who does this trek gets to experience traditional village life and pure natural beauty. It is just a fantastic experience to have in your memories and mind for the rest of your life. Helambu Village Trek begins just outside Kathmandu, from Sundarijal, one of the entrances to the bold Langtang Region. Traversing through the woods of Shivapuri National Park, pinpointing the Chisapani Peak, the trek takes you into the beautiful Helambu Region. Moreover, one on the trek trail can view peaks like Ganesh Himal, Gaurishankar, Langtang Lirung, etc. As said earlier, the iconic villages of Tamang, Sherpa, and Hyolmo people will also come along. And that is how and where a trekker will get to know the region's lifestyle and culture. The trek is one of the easiest treks to do in Nepal; the pinpoint of the trek is just around 3,500m(Tharepati). Anyone who is not a high-altitude trekker can choose this trek to gain some experience on that ground. In a nutshell, Helambu Village Trek is perfect for those who do not have much time to trek in Nepal and much experience for a high-elevation trek. In 6 days of the trek, you will know what it feels like to walk in the Himalayas around the traditional villages of Nepal.
