| Helambhu Trekking |
 Helambu
trek is short and easy trek of Nepal and easily access from
Kathmandu. Helambu offer many Monastery visit, Rhododendron
forest (flower; March/April), superb mountain views, picturesque
Sherpa settlements, friendly people and after all unspoiled
culture of the area. This trek is more like cultural trek
than mountain and glacier expeditions. People here call
themselves Sherpas but their relationship with the Sherpa
of Solu Khumbu is distant. The dialects spoken are also
different. People here follow the Buddhist religion so you
will find many old Buddhist monasteries in the villages.
Tarkeghyang is another Sherpa town along the way, which
bears its own story.
Our trek starts from Kathmandu after driving by bus/car
to Sundarijal, which is just 13km from Kathmandu. We then
continue ascend to Chisopani where we spend first night
just outside valley. Chisopani offer great view of mountain
and landscape. Then we make almost a circle going through
Khtumsang, Tharapati, Tarkeghyang, sarmathang and finally
to Melamchi pul where we take bus to Kathmandu. Clients
carry daypack only and walk at their own pace. Trekking
hour is about 5-6 per day.

We will be visiting three of the famous heritage
sites in Kathmandu. You will visit first the
Swayambunath Stupa (Monkey Temple). It is said
that Swayambunath Stupa is more than 2,000 years
old, and it symbolizes knowledge. The painted
eyes on all four sides symbolize the all-seeing
power of Buddha. It is an important Buddhist
place where pilgrims from all over the world
come. It is situated to the west of the city
on a hill some 77 meters above the valley.
It is a 30 minutes drive to Boudhanath Stupa,
another important Buddhist pilgrims site. This
ancient Stupa is considered one of the biggest
in the World. Every morning and evening, many
Buddhist devotees come here to pray and circumambulate
enabling the visitors to observe local religious
practices.
The sacred Hindu temple Pashupatinath is considered
the holiest cremation ground, and people bathe
in the Bagmati River with a faith of cleansing
themselves spiritually. Many Sadhus or Hindu
Ascetics live here. During religious festivals,
Hindus come to make offerings, and it is sometimes
very crowded.
Evening on your own. Hotel accommodation in
