Helambu is popular among the trekkers
for its scenic grandeur, pleasant & favorable
climate, located about 72 kilometers northeast of
Kathmandu, is extending 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
Malamchi Khola.
This trek is comparatively easier one
due to the fact that the elevations are lower, ranging
between 800m. and 3600m, offering the less & climbing
as well as warmer temperatures. The most important
benefit of this trek is that the area is less crowded
& free from noise with the comparison to the Annapurna
trek or some parts of the Everest treks. Besides,
the trek offers a wide range of cultures and spectacular
scenery.
