Trekking In Langtang
Region |
|
Helambu Trekking |
Helembu about 72 kilometers
northeast of Kathmandu, is noted for its scenic
grandeur and pleasant climate. The Helambu
region, extending from north of Taramarang to
the tree limit of the Gosainkunda Lake and lower
slopes of Jugal Himal, has several highland
Tamang and Sherpa villages, scattered on both
sides of the Malemchi Khola.
This trek is rated as an easier trek because the
elevations are lower, ranging between 800m. and
3600m., which indicates less climbing and warmer
temperatures. One advantage to this trek is
there are fewer trekkers here than on the
Annapurna trek and some parts of the Everest
treks, but there is still a wide range of
cultures and spectacular scenery. |
