An easy trek for all Trekkers
Himalayan ranges such as Mount Langtang, Gaurishankar, and other smaller snow-capped peaks are situated north of Helambu. This is an easy trek that is possible to do throughout the year. Of course, everyone can go on this trip. Some people may be hesitant about whether or not I can do it. But don’t worry; it’s okay for anyone with normal health.
The cultural magnificence and artistic crafts of the people living in Helambu are a wonder. The hospitality of the Tamang people in this area is remarkable, which makes you feel at home and alive. The people living in Langtang’s high mountainous area are Nepalese descendants of Tibetan origin; they still look like Tibetans.
The trek starts from Sundarijal (1,350m) and ends at Melamchi Bazar (850 m), up to a maximum of 3,650 m at Tharepati village. The amazing villages are full of Buddhist monasteries and delicious apples that give the trekkers a glimpse of paradise. Usually, we only walk 6-7 hours a day, with many breaks between breakfast, lunch, and tea time, and when you feel tired, you can rest.
The spring and autumn seasons are the best times for trekking in Helambu, but we arrange them according to the wishes and holiday schedules of the trekkers. A minimum of a one-week duration is required for this trek.

Thank you a lot for your organization about my trek. It was a superb experience; all was perfect. Karma is a very nice person and a good guide. I appreciated trekking with Odyssey (a reliable Nepal trek operator). If I come back to Nepal, I will be happy to ask you to trek with me again. I am thinking about Annapurna or the Everest trek.

Have just returned from my fourth trip to Nepal and as always Odyssey Treks organized everything superbly. We visited Makalu relatively late in the season and were rewarded with empty trails and amazing weather. Karma was as entertaining, friendly, and informative as ever along with Ang Dawa Sherpa who together made the three weeks perfect.
They also organized a few days to Helambu at short notice as I had some time spare, all done easily and professionally. Thanks for the company both and I will be back again. I cannot recommend Odyssey highly enough as a genuinely friendly, locally based company that provides not only unforgettable experiences but also great service at a very reasonable cost.
Thanks.
