Helambu Trekking

Helambu trekking is a short, relatively easy, and ideal for families trek, enjoyable all year round and nearby Kathmandu. The Helmo people celebrate the Tibetan New year in January–February with colorful dancing at the monasteries. Spring sees brilliant displays of rhododendron and primula bloom, and autumn come alive with post-monsoon greener. Lodges are well-serviced and spaced conveniently. Trekkers must pay separate fees to enter Shivapuri Watershed Reserve of Rs 1000 per person and the Langtang National Park fee of Rs 3000 per person in two different places.

It is a cool land ideal for growing coffee and apple trees. There are many apple plantations in Helambu. The apple farms are big and the apples are fresh and juicy. The apples are grown in well-manicured gardens and are picked by hand. The apples are then sorted and graded according to their size and color. The best apples are exported to other countries, while the rest are sold in local markets.

Melamchi Gaun, Tarke Ghyang, and Shermathang villages are located in the mountainous region of Nepal. The people from this area have their own unique culture, which is different from the mainstream Nepali culture. One of the main aspects of their culture is the Helmo dance, which is a traditional structure that they use for religious and social events. It is considered to be a very sacred holy dance by the people of Helambu.
