Helambu Trek

We can spend the day as you like. We will also be doing preparations for the trek. It's best to couple it with warming up a tour of the valley. You can either go for short hikes around the valley, sightseeing tours, or just simple city travel for a relaxing day. Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square are the popular choices for tours around the valley.

We will head to Sundarijal in the morning after breakfast. The ride will be through the city outskirts and will take about an hour. From here, the trek will begin and take us to Chisapani over the course of four hours. You will be traveling through the Shivapuri National Park along stone paths and road tracks all the way to Chisapani. The small settlements along the trails are mostly inhabited by Tamang people.

After witnessing the sunrise from the top of Chisapani, we continue to descent down from the hilltop. The trail will pass through several pastures and cultivated fields on mainly level grounds. The trail takes us to Gul Bhanjyang then to the meadow at Pati Bhanjyang. Then, we cross a final pass to get to Kutumsang.

We will be trekking to Thadepati after breakfast, through Magen Goth and Yurin Danda. The climb begins on a steep note through fir and Rhododendron trees. Along the way, we will stop at Magen Goth and then head to Yurin Danda. From here, we can witness wonderful views of the Himalayas in the Langtang ranges and Gosainkunda. We will continue to Thadepati where we call it a day.

We will begin the trek and come across the Melamchi stream, which we will cross to arrive at Melamchi village. There is a monastery in Melamchi which is the oldest and largest in Helambu. You will pass by the several small settlements and Sherpa hamlets on your way to Tarkeghyang. The majority of inhabitants in Tarkeghyang belong to Hyolmo ethnic community.

From Tarkeghyang, we will trek back into the outer hills of the Kathmandu valley. The trek will make its way through the subtropical forests and reaches the village of Ghangyul halfway to Sermathang. Then, you resume the trek and walk along the stone trails. Sermathang holds a famous monastery that sits beautifully atop the village.

Today, we head down to the Melamchi Bazaar. Along the way, we trek past a number of Sherpa settlements. From Melamchi Pul Bazaar, we get on a vehicle to head to Kathmandu. You can spend the afternoon exploring, but be sure to come back for our farewell dinner. We will host a farewell dinner to show our thanks for choosing us as your travel partners.

A company representative will pick you up at your hotel premises. You will then be accompanied to the airport for your return flight home. We bid you farewell with the best of wishes. Kindest regards and best wishes ahead.
