  Helambu Trekking  
     
 

iGyanggel Monastry in Helambu.Photo by Andi 2006Transport from Kathmandu to Sundarijal, the starting point of the trek, is readily available and inexpensive. This is the description of a seven days trek that makes a circuit of Helambu region. You can make the trek in either direction, because it closed a loop from chisapani first night stop of the trek. The preferred route is described here first visiting high ridge to Tharepati than heading to the Tarky Gyang and trek back down the ridge through Sermathang to the Melamchipull Bazaar. The language, culture and dress of the Helambu Sherpas are very different from those of the Solu Khumbu Sherpas .The accessibility of Helambu has created an influx of tourists who have encouraged begging, the sale of 'genuine antiques' aged over the family fireplace, and several incidents of thievery.
