Trekking

Helambu Circuit

4 nights hotel - 7 nights camping

This is a relatively easy trek. We travel by car to Sundarijal located in the foothills at the Northern edge of the Kathmandu valley. There we will see Gosaikund Peak above Lang Tang. We will then follow a steep trail through rhododendron and pine forest. The trail to Goasikund turns north-west from this point. The people of Helambu Sherpa are very different from the sherpa of the Slou Khumbu. Their traditional dress, manner of speaking, and other cultural differences are interesting to compare.

The people of helambu sherpa are very different from their cousins in Slou khumbu. Instead of the Tibetan-style black dress and colorful apron, the sherpa women of helumbu wear a dress of red printed cotton. Helambu sherpa speak much more rapidly than other sherpa people.
