The Helambhu Cultural trail takes us through the National Park of Shivapuri Watershed and Wildlife Reserve. The people in this area are mostly of Tamang and Tibetan origin, whose culture goes back hundreds of years. The craftsmanship, dress, traditionally built stone households and the beautifully carved wooden porches reflect the solitude and the serenity of the Himalayan scenery.
Helambhu is the famous for its outstanding natural beauty, fascinating culture and favourable climates. The region begins at the Lauribinaya La and the descend to the melamchi valley. These trek starts from the Sundarijal then ascend to Tharepati and then descends to the Melamchi Valley, and it is located 72km north east of Kathmandu. The trails are blissfully quiet when compared to the more popular Everest and Annapurna regions. Nevertheless, it is on equal standing with these regions in terms of breathtaking scenery and the richness of Nepali culture and people. Which inhabits a paradise of flora, including exotic orchids, and a myriad of wildlife and birds. Then onwards you will trek to villages with spectacular panoramic Massif views such as Langtang Himal, Rolwaling Range and distant views of peaks in the Everest region. This area is also rich in Buddhist culture. As we travel from village to village, we pass through a variety of landscapes – alpine meadows, rice terraces, rhododendron forests, and yak pastures just to name a few. This trek is challenging despite the lower and higher elevations that range from 800mt to 3500mt.
