Helambu is situated in the northern part of the country; about 75-kms from Kathmandu and the area is inhabited by Sherpas. This trek offers with a diverse range of brilliant green valleys, misty rhododendron forests and distant horizons of snowy peaks, Helambu is the ideal for the short trek. There are simple teahouses along this route, yet the area remains relatively unspoiled by tourism. You will experience the Yolmo culture of high mountain villages and watch enthralled as the farmers toil in the fields using hand made tools and teams of water- buffalo. You can include Helambu in a Langtang trek, either via Gosainkunda or across the (5106m) Ganja- La. In winter, both of the high routes from Langtang are usually snow- covered.
