This short trek in Helambu is a perfect fit of walking, and a deep look into the culture northeast of Kathmandu Valley. During Dashain, when thousands of sacrifices are made by Hindus to appease the Gods (and Goddesses), Sherpas in Helambu, who are Buddhist, conduct prayers to bring balance in the world. We witness this amazing symbiosis between two faiths in Helambu - minus watching the sacrifices!
Great for families - the treks in Helambu are comfortable, with short trek days and not too high (2600m)!
