The Helambu trek only takes eights
days starts from Sundarijal at the eastern
end of the Kathmandu Valley and does not
climb above 3500m. It makes a loop through
the Sherpa-populated Helambu region to the
north-east of Kathmandu and only the first
day's walk is repeated on the return trip
The trek's main drawback is that it does
offer fine Himalayan views, like some other
treks. but it can be trekked on a
village-inn basis as there are guesthouses
and lodges in many of the villages along the
trail. The Sherpa people of the Helambu
region are friendly and hospitable, just
like their better known kinfolk of the local
diet but is also exported to the Nepali
lowland in exchange for rice and other
produce.
This
is the one
trekking region that remains open for
twelve months of the year. It is the most
easily accessible of all trekking regions.
