Helambu
trek about 72 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, is noted for its
scenic grandeur and pleasant climate. The Helambu region, extending
from north of Taramarang to the tree limit of the Gosainkunda Lake and
lower slopes of Jugal Himal, has several highland Tamang and Sherpa
villages, scattered on both sides of the Malemchi Khola.This trek is
rated as an easier trek because the elevations are lower, ranging
between 800m. and 3600m., which indicates less climbing and warmer
temperatures. One advantage to this trek is there are fewer trekkers
here than on the Annapurna trek and some parts of the Everest treks,
but there is still a wide range of cultures and spectacular scenery.
