About the package
Helambu Circuit Trek is a short and beautiful off-the-beaten trail trek. This trek consists of a combination of beautiful natural sceneries and culture, people, and traditions. The trail has views of breathtaking mountains from the middle of lush forests and green valleys. There are ascending and descending trekking trails. There are traditional villages where you can observe the local life that takes you back in time. At a point in the Helambu Circuit Trek, you will reach to vill where you can experience the Yolmo culture. The trek starts after a short drive from Sundarijal of Kathmandu. Then it enters Shivapuri National Park and continues the trek ascent up to the Chisopani, Kutumsang, Thadepati, and Sermathang. The trek ends in the Helambu region at the Melamchi Pul. This trek provides magnificent mountain views such as Langtang Lirung (7245m), Ganesh Himal (7405m), Dorje Lhakpa (6990m), and much more small peaks of the Langtang Himalayan range. As we follow the trail through beautiful Tamang and Sherpa villages, they provide an amazing Himalayan view and several splendid Buddhist monasteries on the way. Besides the Himalayas and traditional culture, the trek offers diverse floras and fauna. The area offers you a chance to learn about a variety of cultures. The major ethnic groups living in the area are the Tamangs, Bhotias, and Yolmus (also known as Sherpas). None of their languages and their clan structure resemble that of the Solukhumbu Sherpas of Everest. They are considered more similar to Langtang Bhotias and may also have originated from the Kyirong area of Tibet, just over the border. Their religion shows their rich Buddhist culture. Other mid-hill tribes and castes reside at lower elevations like Brahmins, Chhetries, Newars, and Gurungs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The peak seasons for visiting Nepal are October-November and March-April. During these months, you'll experience clear skies, moderate temperatures, and excellent visibility of the mountains. October-November offers stable weather after the monsoon season, while March-April treats visitors to blooming rhododendrons in the hills. However, be aware that these are also the busiest periods, so we recommend booking your trek and accommodations well in advance.
Yes, most trekking areas require permits. For popular routes like the Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp, you'll need both a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card and specific regional permits. Our agency handles all permit arrangements for our clients, including the required documentation and fees. We also ensure your permits are obtained well before your arrival to avoid any last-minute complications.
We offer treks suitable for all fitness levels. For beginners, we recommend shorter treks like the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek (4-5 days) or the Nagarkot-Chisapani trek near Kathmandu. For experienced trekkers, we offer challenging routes like the Everest Base Camp trek or the Manaslu Circuit. We always assess our clients' fitness levels and previous trekking experience to recommend the most suitable routes and provide appropriate preparation guidance.
Kathmandu's main cultural highlights include the Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur, the Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. We recommend at least 3-4 days to properly explore these UNESCO World Heritage sites. Our guided city tours include knowledgeable local guides who can explain the rich history and significance of each site, and we can customize itineraries based on your interests and available time.
In Kathmandu, we partner with hotels ranging from comfortable 3-star to luxury 5-star properties, all in convenient locations. During treks, accommodation varies by route and preference. Most trekking routes offer tea houses (mountain lodges) with basic but clean facilities. For more comfort, we also organize luxury lodge treks on certain routes. For remote treks, we can arrange fully-supported camping trips with our experienced staff handling all logistics, including meals and equipment.
