Helambu is an ideal region for short treks, it begins near to the Kathmandu Valley and leads to the Langtang Region and conservation area. Despite being so close to Kathmandu, the Helambu region remains relatively un-spoiled. Here you can experience the Hyolmo culture of high mountain people. Hike with the company of green rhododendron and bamboo forests, witness majestic waterfalls, and view the awesome snow-capped Himalayas. These all go to make the trek one of the most diverse treks accessible from Kathmandu. The great Himalayan scenery that leads up to the border with Tibet and monasteries makes a trek to the region an engrossing experience. People living in the highlands of the Langtang region are certainly Nepalese. However, they practice a more Tibetan lifestyle being descendants of Tibetan origin.
Commencing from Sundarijal, an hour's drive from Kathmandu,after about an hour's walk, we enter Shivapuri National Park.the trail leads to Chisopani, Kutumsang, Thadepati and Sermathang and ends at the Melamchi Pul Bazar in the Helambu region. On the way pass through thick mountain forests with great Himalayan views, towards the end of the trip we trek through some beautiful rice terraces and a number of splendid Buddhist monasteries.

Review
Fantastic experience, highly recommended and expert service throughout
My two sons (age 25 and 27) and I had the most unbelievable, unforgettable and amazing trek, led by our fantastic guide Bishnu, supported by porters Narayan and Suman. Booking was really easy, with flexibility of starting dates. Any changes to itinerary were always discussed and agreed, ensuring our satisfaction. Bishnu ensured our safety at all times and worked tirelessly to ensure we had everything we needed to stay well and complete the challenging Lake and Thorong Pass without any problems. We would definitely recommend using this company; everything was perfect.
Island Peak expedition
Nepal Social Treks was the most professional company I have travelled with. The airport pickup was smooth, followed by a nice stay at their hotel in Kathmandu. A day trip around Kathmandu was planned and despite being cut short, it was a very enjoyable tour. Pasang Sherpa, the trekking guide for my trip was a highly experienced guide and mountaineer and gave me an authentic Nepalese experience as we walked through the Himalayas. When it came time to summit Island Peak, I had absolute confidence in his ability to keep me safe at all times, and he led the expedition at my pace. As an inexperienced climber, Pasang made sure I had all the required skills before going onto the mountain. The transition from trekking to life back in Kathmandu was easy, and Basu and the team from Nepal Social Treks made sure I had a comfortable and enjoyable few days prior to leaving Nepal. I would recommend anyone thinking of trekking or mountaineering in Nepal to book with Nepal Social Treks as they will tailor the trip to your needs and you will be treated incredibly well for the entire trip.
Perfect taste of Nepal
Did the Explore Nepal tour 11 days and was the only one on the tour. The tour was very well organized, hitting all the main attractions to give a good flavour of Nepal. Operator was very responsive to questions and requests. Accommodations were better than expected with excellent beds and breakfasts. Highly recommend.
I had an incredible experience doing the Manaslu Circuit trek!! As I was the only one who had booked, they paired me with another solo girl from a different company which worked super well. Our guide Nekhil was attentive, supportive and made us feel really safe. He was clearly a very experienced guide and gave us lots of tips to manage the altitude and trekking, plus having lots of fun together along the way! Our porter Chhiring was awesome too! Not only were the views incredible, it felt so nice to be ‘looked after’ and have everything taken care of so we could just enjoy ourselves. This included by the office in Kathmandu, who were so helpful and generous in giving me an extra day in a nearby hotel and lending me some gear. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! I would definitely recommend :))
Hey, this was awesome! The Agency made all well, and especially, Ngima Sherpa is the best guide ever! He made my experience on everest view trek special and wonderful. His heartwarming, calm and respectful behaviour let me feel welcome and my needs during trek seen. He knows a lot of trekking and the insides there in the mountains, showed me all possible in that 7 days and has my full 5-star review. Always again!
Amazing experience! We had a very loving and caring guide Narayan. Also not possible without our porters 💜💜
