The
Sherpa village of Helambu due
north of Kathmandu valley presents
an easy getaway. This area because
of its low elevation and the Sherpa
villages make it an interesting
7-day loop. Starting with a short
drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal
the trail to Helambu climbs on
to the Shivapuri ridge from where
there are sweeping views of the
central Himalayas. Following a
ridgline the trek heads north
to Thare Pati before turning east
to Melemchi Gaon and Tarke Gyang
the principle villages of this
area. From here we visit Shermathang
before descending to the Melamchi
River to end our trek with a drive
back from Sipa Ghat back to Kathmandu.
Moderate trekking
between altitudes of 1,370m. to
3,490m.. Accommodation in comfortable
lodges runs by local families.
The trek starts with a drive from
Kathmandu and includes all meals,
services of experienced trek guide
and porters to carry luggage.
Clients carry daypack only and
