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.

Frequently asked questions about this trip

How difficult is the trek?

The difficulty depends on where and how long you want to trek. The short trek is easy while the long trek requires some physical fitness.

What is altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness is normally known as acute mountain sickness. This can happen when people rapidly climb up to an altitude of more than 3000 meters. We ensure minimal risk by adding rest to our trekking itineraries. Most people will feel some effects of altitude, some shortness of breath and possibly light headache, this is normal enough. Acute mountain sickness patients are quite different and usually have a serious headache, sickness, and lose awareness. In almost all possible cases there are sufficient warning signs to take action properly. Descending to a lower altitude is usually enough to prevent any further problems.

What type of accommodation is available during the trekking?

There are mainly tea houses and lodges available for trekking and they are usually made using local materials and are very comfortable. These accommodations are often family-run and usually provide single and double rooms. The dining room is on the ground floor and is often on fire. All food will be cooked in order in the family kitchen. Toilet facilities are sometimes separate and sometimes outside. Most lodges provide mattresses and blankets. It's a good idea to always have a sleeping bag, which can be useful, and perhaps an inflatable pillow.

How long do we walk every day on trekking?

Trekking programs are classified into three different categories: soft, moderate and hard. Soft treks are only about 7 days to 10 days in duration. They generally do not go above 4000 meters; you can expect to walk about 4-5 hours each day. Moderate treks are challenging enough and long treks that go to the high hill country. Physically exhausting, this involves trekking along the cliffs of the mountains for about 6-8 hours. Harder treks are longer treks that go farther away from the general abode of trekkers and tourists. These physically challenging treks involve walking for 7- 9 hours each day.

How much weight do I need to carry on the trek?

You carry some of your personal belongings, such as warm clothing, water, snacks, sun block, cameras and more. Generally, these items will be lightweight, from 5 to 10kg (10 to 20 pounds). Our porters are available for other heavy goods and for your information one porter would be sharing by two people. The maximum weight carried by one porter is total 20 kg. this means 10 kg. per person is allowed for the trek. In case if you wish to carry more than this weight then you need to hire additional porters.

What is the best time for trekking in Nepal?

October and November are considered as the best times for trekking in Nepal due to dry season. December and January are also considered good times for trekking but it is extremely cold at high altitudes.
