Helambu Trekking
8 days |
| The
Helambu region is a relatively low altitude trek
and one of the most convenient of the short trek
close to Kathmandu but crowd less. For a spectrum
of Nepali people and the Himalayas, the Helambu
trek is unrivalled. The trek passes through some
beautiful forests and very interesting villages
on route. As the journey progresses you visit
the homes of Brahmins, Tamangs and Sherpa people
of Nepal. This place has scenic grandeur and pleasant
climate as well as a long history of Buddhism,
culture and ancient tradition of Tamang and Sherpas.
In Helambu region the Sherpa are quite distinct
from the Sherpas of Solu khumbu(Everest region)
both in language and customs. The people in Helambu
where carefully exploited to a lower cast because
of a Nepali king who was afraid they could give
rebellion as they live all around the city regions.
To this result, they still live in backward civilization.
The ranges of mountains that rise above us match
the diversity of the people we meet. From low
altitudes we have excellent views of mountains
that include Langtang, the Annapurnas, Manaslu
and even Everest on a clear day. This is a pleasant
and exciting journey, a time to relax and become
immersed in the beauty of the Himalayas.
