The Sherpa villages of Helambu due
north of Kathmandu valley presents an easy getaway. This area because
of its low elevation and the Sherpa villages make it an interesting
6 day loop. Starting with a short drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal
the trail to Helambu climbs on to the Shivapuri ridge from where
there are sweeping views of the central Himalayas. Following a ridgline
the trek heads north to Thare Pati before turning east to Melemchi
Gaon and Tarke Gyang the principle villages of this area. From here
we visit Shermathang before descending to the Melamchi river to
end our trek with a drive Melamchi Bazaar back to Kathmandu.
