‘Yolmo’ also called “hidden valley” or Helambu, is a region of great importance in terms of its religious and cultural richness as well as its natural beauty. According to the Buddhist religious texts, seven secret regions are considered to be the most sacred sites, Yolmo Gangra is one of those!!

Helambu Trek in the Langtang region offers the breathtaking sceneries of the Himalayas, terraced landscape, and ethnic cultural activities. It preserves various species of birds, flora and fauna, including Ghoral, monkey, Himalayan black bear and others. The charm of the trekking in Helambu increases due to the less traffic in the trail.

Superb Sherpa and Tamang villages dominate the trekking route. It is a unique experience to explore the Sherpa culture and lifestyles, Tamang customs and their wonderful hospitality. A fabulous experience for everyone.
