Langtang Helambu Circuit Trek

Trekking “Amidst rich mid-hills culture in the shades of the Jugal Himalayan range”…as you view magnificent sceneries & interact with the ethnic communities and learn of their unique cultures…

This trek takes you through a wonderful circuit of the Helambu region. The actual starting point for this trek is Sundarijal because of its proximity to Kathmandu. The Helambu region is less frequented by trekkers than other regions like that of Everest or Annapurna. Helambu, one of the most beautiful regions in the foothills of the Himalayas, is just a few days away from the Kathmandu Valley rim, and is situated directly northeast of Kathmandu in the central Himalayan region. This trek takes you through the Langtang region and joins at Helambu. The Langtang area was declared a National Park in 1976 and remains the second largest national park in Nepal, covering 1710 sq. km. of mountainous terrain south of the Nepal-Tibet (China) border. The area gives you opportunities to immerse yourself in a broad range of cultures. The three main ethnic peoples living in the area are the Tamangs, Bhotias and, Yolmus. Their religion and monasteries show rich Buddhist culture at its best. At lower elevations along the edges of the park, other mid hill tribes and castes reside including Bramins, Chhetries, Newars and some Gurungs.
