I just love traveling in Nepal. I have been to this country every summer breaks. This time, I needed something simple, short and close to the capital city, Kathmandu. Helambu trekking of 6 days was just the best choice. With trail filled with waterfalls, mountain valleys, rich culture experience, and sights of developing communities, I just loved the overall journey. Sundarijal forest trails filled with rhododendron, oak and pine were just fun adventure points. My travel agency is the Nepal Trek Adventures. For all my trips, I choose NTA. They have the best customer service and are very cooperative. Oh, mountain views along the monasteries are something to look out for as well. Really great!
I wanted to go to Helambu for a while now. Heard from my friends that the place was filled with monasteries and amazing views of traditional and natural Nepal. So, I wanted to experience it myself. I contacted the NTA, the travel agency my friends recommended who had gone for the trek with their team. Have to say, the trail was just perfect. It has a pristine environment and a quietness that you won’t find anywhere else. The local people are really nice to talk to. Thank you so much for providing me an amazing guide who explained everything just so perfectly. For anyone looking for quick trekking around Kathmandu, Helambu 6 days Trek is definitely the one to move for. You will love the Himalayas and the monasteries around this region. NTA has the best customer service and policy. Highly recommend this trek and the company to all!
The 6 days' trek to Helambu was a fun experience for me. I was in Kathmandu for only 6 days and wanted to do some fun trekking close to the capital. My travel agency, the NTA suggested the Helambu trek. It was close to the capital and was a short trekking journey. Filled with rich cultural experience, I just loved exploring different monasteries and watching the Langtang mountain ranges along my trek. NTA definitely arranges the best trek in Nepal and have a great customer service. Believe me, if you want a fun Helambu trekking experience of short 6 days, Nepal Trek Adventures is a fantastic way to go. Highly recommended!
I and my friends were in Kathmandu. Here, we looked around some places for trekking and every place was either crowded with travelers or not catchy ones. So I contacted NTA for some suggestions. They suggested the 6 Days Trek to Helambu. It was a short trek filled with forest trails, mountain views, Buddhist culture, and the best one, a quite trekking experience. The snow-capped mountain ranges were just perfect views to satisfy the eyes. The trail is filled with a beautiful waterfall and local villages with rich culture and traditions to see. We loved our trip to Helambu and enjoyed the route to the fullest.
I follow Buddhism and it hasn’t been long since I changed to this religion. Nepal, the birthplace of Lord Buddha made me come to this small country in Asia with all its cultural essence. As I was around the capital visiting the UNESCO sites and later visited Lumbini, I still had 8 days left in Nepal. So, I decided to explore a little. Choosing Helambu was a great choice. It was just 6 days' trek and with many monasteries and terraced land fields, I loved the trails. For me, quietness is really important when traveling, and that is the main thing that I got on this trek. It was a peaceful and fun sightseeing experience which wasn’t crowded with travelers. The trail has maintained its ancient beauty. You would experience the local lifestyle too that is an overall new experience. I definitely recommend this trip to everyone.
Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition is one of the best organization to trek with. The guide was Informative, supportive and extraordinary. They dealt with all that we required. Krishna Sapkota and Shiva Regmi are simply stunning experienced and much-prescribed guides from this company. We were 6 friends and we were on Helambu 9 days trek. It was the excursion of my life it did felt it that way too. The guide was so helpful and caring. Krishna Sapkota was our guide for our 9 days trek to Helambu. He helped us in every step, he encourage us to have good food, gave support when required, he helped us deal with high altitude sickness. He had broad information about Nepal's history and culture. We have more companions in Nepal now. We surely had some good times.
We were 4 companions, we made a plan of Helambu trek but we had no any idea then we met Krishna Sapkota - and his office Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition - who has sorted out everything to flawlessness! Brilliant guide and two porters: lovely and professional people. The way was a bit of tiring, we have not experienced climbers, yet we adore the mountains. Within 6 days we become so good friends they treated us well as a family. Our guide did an excellent job addressing all our requirements. He was so funny and kept us happy and laughing all the time with puzzles and jokes. Thank you Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition for customizing this amazing tour. I will recommend anyone NTA and Helambu trek without any doubt.
The trek was very exciting giving the spectacular views of mountains, waterfalls and rhododendron forests. Being so near to Kathmandu, I thought there would be a dense population compared to other trekking areas in Nepal, but it was so peaceful and relaxing. The trek was not as difficult as other treks and any people with an average health condition can go for this trek. I and our team enjoyed a lot on the trek due to the NTA team. The guide was so friendly and we felt very comfortable with him due to which the trek went awesome. I will contact NTA again if I wish to go for trek and tour in any part of Nepal.
My return date from Nepal was very close and I wanted to go for a short trek in the Langtang region. I got to know about the Helambu trek by contacting Nepal Trek Adventures and asked if they could arrange as soon as possible. Within a day, everything was arranged. Though the trek was arranged in short notice, all the things were fulfilled as mentioned in the package. Their service was so fast and so well managed that the trek was easily completed and I did not miss this amazing trek being in Nepal. The region gives astonishing views of rivers and glaciers and snow-peaked mountain and many Sherpa and Tamang villages. I also got to interact with the lifestyle of people living in this area which was another awesome thing about the trek.
The landscapes we viewed during the Helambu trek were amazing. There are different perspectives of Nepal. Though the place is so close to Kathmandu, it is a lot more different with less pollution and population. The services of Nepal trek adventures wwere great. The price was reasonable, the management and maintenance were best, the landscapes views and views of mountains were great the overall experience was wonderful and more than expected. The guides were so enthusiastic and caring which made the tour more enjoyable. Will team up with the team again.
I could not afford to go for trekking in the Everest and Annapurna region so I decided to go for Helambu trek. I thought I could not get more adventure from this trek but I was so wrong. In such good amount, one can get the experience of the beautiful adventurous region and the breathtaking views of mountains. I don’t understand why this trek is not so famous in Nepal despite having so many things to experience. The NTA team is surprisingly different from other agencies providing the best services in the best rates, creating a friendly and comfortable environment. Hope to get guided by NTA again and again.
I have been in Nepal for 3 times before and contacted different agencies before. This time I chose Nepal Trek Adventure as recommended by my friend. The experience with NTA was totally different than other agencies. They were a friend more than just a travel partner. The days spent for Helambu trek was great due to the hospitality and management of the NTA team. The team was very experienced and didn’t let any obstacles on our way. The views we got from this trek was awesome and couldn’t be forgotten. I could not switch to any other trekking agencies after I met NTA.
Trekking in the mountain region of Nepal was a never fulfilling dream to me as I am not confident with my health. I never thought I could fulfill this dream but was able to do it easily. The Helambu trek can also be done by the people with an average health condition like me. I finally could have the glance of different villages on the way, many mountains and the waterfall in this region. I could experience trekking joy due to the Nepal Trek Adventure team. Their guidance and enthusiasm built up good confidence in me due to which I finally accomplished my dream for a lifetime. Thank you Nepal trek adventures, hope your service remains the same and the business keeps growing.
