The Helambu Circuit Trek is a 9-day journey through the Helambu Valley in the Langtang Region, showcasing Nepal’s multicultural heritage with Tamang, Sherpa, Brahman, Chhetri, and Hyolmo communities. Trekkers enjoy close-up views of the Langtang peaks. The trek starts with a drive to Sundarijal, famous for waterfalls, then a hike to Mulkharka and onward to Chisapani, offering views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Langtang, and Everest. From Chisapani, the trail descends to Pathi Bhanjhyang and continues to Thakuni, a Sherpa village. After a few ascents and descents, we reach Gul Bhanjyang. Trekking through rhododendron, oak, and pine forests, we arrive at Tharepati and Tarkeghyang, known for its monastery and nearby Ama Yangri (3,771 m) with views of Langtang, Ganesh, Jugal, and Gosaikunda Lake. Descending through forests, we reach Sermathang, ending at Melamchi Bazaar, the last Hyolmo settlement. Compared to the Langtang Valley Trek, Helambu Circuit is easier and culturally focused, ideal for travelers seeking local culture and Himalayan views.
