Trip Overview

Helambu Climate Trek is a new idea in the world of travel and tourism. It is a beautiful tour that allows you to admire Mother Nature’s sumptuous wardrobe. Green hills surround you all the way to the horizon. While the terraced fields planted with buckwheat are decked with white flower blossoms. Then the orchids that sparkle in the trunks of trees create a surreal scene. Isn’t it beautiful to see snow-clad mountains rising high and watching over the hills and woods like a watchdog?

Helambu (or Helmu) is great for short treks: access from Kathmandu it easy, and an extensive trail network enables you to trailor a circuit to your schedule.

A visit to Helambu region will take you to some of the most superb trekking in Nepal. Lying just north of the Kathmandu valley, Helambu is the most accessible trekking region in Nepal, where you can experience some of the most beautiful
semi tropical valley, Helambu peaks, the magnificent Jugal Himal and the vivid contrast of Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist cultures. Winter treks are particularly feasible.

Trekking in Helambu

Helambu region is also known as Beyul. Hyolmo in Nyingma Buddhist tradition is considered as a sacred landscape blessed by Guru Padmasambhava. The Helambu Climate Trek takes you along the track that has been rehabilitated following the earthquake. The newly constructed earthquake-resistant and environmentally friendly residences and hotels, as well as how these locations have created economic prospects for locals.

It’s no surprise that you may enjoy all of this while surrounded by beautiful hills, valleys, and untamed mountains. You may wander through the pure environment alongside the rhododendron trees, admiring the distant vista of Jugal Himal. You may learn more about the locals, particularly the Sherpa and Tamang communities. Helambu Climate Trek is a really fascinating experience, with its traditional way of life and colorful Tibetan Buddhist culture that provides color to their lives.

In an effort to revive tourism, we now are offering this trip. Not only is still a beautiful trek, your visit will also provide vital support for local livelihoods.

The goal of the “Climate Trek Nepal” initiative is to rebuild after the severe earthquakes in 2015 and promote sustainable tourism within the country.

The trip uses renewable energies as well as other technologies and behaviors that save resources a reality.
