Helambu Trek |
This is the description of a seven-day trek that makes a circuit of the Helambu region. The easist starting point for this trek is Sundarijal because of its proximity to Kathmandu.
We can make the trek in either direction, because it closes a loop from Pati Bhanjyang, the second night stop of the trek. The preferred route is clockwise as we have described here; first visiting the high ridge to the west of Helambu Valley, then heading to Tarke Gyang and descending the Malemchi Khola before climbing back to Pati Bhanjyang. There are all kinds of other possible variations, including a direct route to Tarke Gyang from Pati Bhanjying, than down the ridge through Shermathang, ending at Panchkhal.
The Helambu trek is an easy trek to organise & low elevation. You do not need much warm clothing. This area is non-tourist area & will know more about Sherpa cultures.
