Laying some 72 kilometres northeast of Kathmandu, the Helambu region consists of the country situated at the head of the Melamchi Khola (River). Bounded on the north by a wall of 5000m peaks, it extends northwest to the Gosainkund Lakes and east towards the lower slopes of the Jugal Himal. The region is corrugated by a number of valleys and ridges running north south through which run the headwaters of the Sun Kosi River - the Yangri and Larkye, with the Melamchi Khola being the western most tributary. The population is predominately Sherpa and there are several picturesque Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries scattered around the Melamchi Khola. The region's proximity makes it the nearest Sherpa community to Kathmandu. Being easily accessible, it is the ideal area for those with a limited time for trekking, especially in the spring when the rhododendrons are in bloom. Its 6000m mountains provide a beautiful backdrop to this charming region. Despite its close proximity to the capital it attracts far fewer trekkers than the Khumbu (Everest) and Annapurna regions. This is an 8-day, grade 3 trek. 
Lodge treks are offered in the more popular trekking areas and are offered as an alternative to camping. 
Most Lodges offer a central dining room with private and dormitory rooms with shared bathrooms. The Lodges selected by Nirvana Treks & Expeditions Ltd. are the best available within the teahouse category. All your meals will be taken in local Lodges enroute.
