Helambu Trekking in Nepal
Helambu short trek is most popular trekking itinerary for trekkers in Langtang region. Nepal Trek Adventure offers 5 to 7 days of this circuit at best cost (price) and itinerary. You can start this trekking from both ways either Melamchi Bazar about 60 Km or by Sundarijal 26 Km from Kathmandu. Located northeast of Kathmandu, it extends from north of Taramarang to the tree limit of the Gosainkunda Lake and lower slopes of Jugal Himal. There we meet several highland Tamang and Sherpa villages, scattered on both sides of the Malemchi Khola.
Helambu Short Trekking are vary on the desire of the clients and we can design the itinerary as per our client’s request. The Langtang valley is aptly called “the valley of glaciers". Here the mountain-scape is spectacular. On either side of the valley, mountains rise, soaring into the sky. The valley offers pine forest, slow moving rivers and swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow-capped peaks, grassy downs, and meadows strewn with daisies and wild primulas. In the upper part of the valley, there are snow bridges spanning angry torrents, high passes enveloped in mist, tiny lakes with icebergs coating on them and waters of crystalline brightness. This trek is comparatively easier one due to the fact that the elevations are lower, ranging between 800m and 3600m, offering less climbing as well as warmer temperatures.
The most important benet of this trek is that the area is less crowded & free from noise in comparison to the Annapurna trek and some parts of the Everest treks. Besides this, the trek offers a wide range of cultures and spectacular scenery. The Helambu Short trek is a perfect short trek nearby Kathmandu Valley. Despite being so close to Kathmandu, the Helambu region remains relatively un-spoilt. Besides the hyolmo culture of high mountain people, the company of green rhododendron and bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and the snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of most diverse treks near Kathmandu. The great Himalayan scenery at the border with Tibet and monasteries make a trek to the region an enthralling experience.

French Polynesia Published: Thursday, October 04, 2018An Amazing Experience of Helambu Trek
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.

Colombia Published: Wednesday, September 12, 2018Helambu, the Best Short Trek in 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.

Israel Published: Thursday, May 10, 2018Helambu Short Trek Best Service at Resonable Price
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.

Russian Federation Published: Tuesday, April 10, 2018The Best Travel Agency for Helambu Trek
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.
