Difficulty of Helambu Trek and Preparation 

The Helambu trek is rewarding and simple. Depending on the location, Trekking to Helambu will take three to seven hours each day, with several stops to take in the views of the mountains. 

Long walks, sharp climbs and descents, and steep forward pathways that are occasionally rocky are all part of the journey routes. They also pass through many woodlands. Therefore, your travel will be more pleasant and pleasurable the better fit you are. 

This will benefit you if you like hiking or have any prior experience, but it's not required. For people with delicate medical problems, including heart or lung illness, we do not advise this trek.

Accommodation during a 5-day Helambu Trek 

In this package, we provide four nights of lodging. We ensure that the most comfortable and best lodges in the area will be included in your five-day Helambu trek. 

Please note that all the rooms during the trek will be shared on a twin-sharing basis. If you wish to spend two nights in a hotel in Kathmandu, both before and after the hike, there are many different types of hotels in Kathmandu to fit every taste and budget. 

A few of these hotels can even be reserved online. However, please note that accommodations in Kathmandu are not included in our cost. 

Food during the Trek to Helambu 

Sufficient nutrition is essential for trekking at high altitudes. We'll give you an adequate supply of delicious, sanitary, and nutrient-rich meals. 

You will only have access to some of the options that large cities provide. There will be fewer meal options the farther you get from the cities. We will provide you with 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 4 dinners throughout the trek.

We will offer you traditional regional, Asian, and Western dishes on the menu. We strongly advise that you eat a lot of fresh vegetables and drink lots of water, green tea, lemon tea, hot tea, ginger tea, and garlic soup.

Although there are many non-vegetarian options available on the trekking routes, we advise against eating them due to meat hygiene issues. We also strongly advise you to avoid dairy products, alcohol, and caffeine during the trek.

Best season for Helambu Trek  

The weather is the main factor to consider when deciding whether or not to trek to Helambu. Although Helambu trekking is possible throughout the entire year, some seasons make the ascent considerably easier.  

There is no rain or dense clouds that would obstruct sunlight during the spring and fall, and the skies remain bright from nightfall until sunrise. The clear blue skies enchant with the most stunning views.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q1. Do I need a guide for a 5-day Helambu trek?

    Hiring a guide is mandatory for all treks, as well as the Helambu trek, as it can be helpful, especially if you are a first-time trekker or unfamiliar with the area. Our guides can navigate the trails, help you communicate with locals, and provide valuable insights into the local culture and history.

  • Most villages and teahouses along the trail have safe drinking water sources. You can refill your water bottle or purchase boiled water. However, it's always recommended to carry a good water filtration system as a backup.

  • Basic medical facilities are available in villages like Chisapani. More advanced healthcare options are limited, so it's crucial to bring a personal first-aid kit and any necessary medications. Consider travel insurance that covers medical emergencies in Nepal and inform your guide if you feel any discomfort.

  • Network coverage can be patchy in some areas, especially on higher trails. Ncell and Nepal Telecom are the main providers, and coverage generally improves closer to villages and lodges. Consider purchasing a local SIM card in Kathmandu for emergencies or staying connected.

  • ATMs are scarce, so bring enough Nepali rupees for your entire trip. You can exchange currency at Kathmandu airport or at money changers in Thamel.

  • Local handicrafts like handwoven woolen scarves, yak wool blankets, and wooden souvenirs are popular choices. Support local artisans by buying directly from them. You can also find Tibetan prayer flags, Buddhist statues, and traditional Nepali clothing.

  • No, you will not need a restricted area permit. Helambu region does not fall under the restricted regions. You can get the permit and even trek on your own in this region.

  • The best time to trek in Helambu is spring (March to June) and autumn (September to December). The temperature is moderate and in these seasons you can have amazing views.

  • It is best that we prepare ourselves for the trek by doing some physical exercises like jogging and exercising regularly. Trekking to the Helambu is relatively easier for those who have experience walking/trekking in a high altitude environment.

  • While trekking, you will be provided with Nepalese, Tibetan, and the more common continental and Indian cuisines on the menu. Sometimes meals included in the menu may not be available.
