Helambu circuit isthe most convenient and closest short trek to Kathmandu. It is a relatively low altitude trek. The local inhabitants in Helambu are predominantly Tamang and Sherpa people inhabiting the higher villages, particularly Melamchi Gaon, Tarkeghyang and Sharmanthang. The high point of the trek is at Tharepati La Pass which is 3600 meters and can experience snow even during the main trekking seasons. There are many alternatives for trekking in Helambu but the circuit starting at Melamchi Pul and ending at Sundarijal takes in the best that the area has to offer.
