Helambu
lies to the north of Kathmandu and offers the nearest
experience of Sherpa culture without having to go to
the Everest region.
The Sherpa village of Tarke Ghyang
that forms the focus of Helambu is a charming enclave
of farmers and yak herders. The trip starts with a scenic
drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal. Helambu provides
an instant Himalayan trek for those with limited time.
This trek is an easy and enjoyable trip conducted at
the average altitude of 3500m. The trek takes you through
Thadepati to Tarke Ghyang, where a choice of trails opens
up. However we go along the south ridge through Sermathang,
down to the river at Melamchi, the site of a mega project
to bring drinking water to Kathmandu via a series of
tunnels. The trek concludes with a drive down to Kathmandu
via Panchkhal, after a night's camp at Melamchi Bridge.
