Trip Overview

Helambu Climate Trek is an emerging concept in the field of travel and tourism. These kinds of treks are rarely conducted by any other travel companies in Nepal. We – Himal Eco Treks have taken an initiative to aware travelers about eco-friendly treks in Nepal. So, what does Climate/Eco-friendly Trek actually mean? “An innovative, forward-looking travel concept that inspires me 100%” (Manfred Häupl). As explained by Haupl, climate/ eco-friendly trek in simple terms is a new concept of trekking where we trek and enjoy the glories of mother nature by adhering to our responsibility of protecting mother nature.

Helambu Climate Trek is a delightful journey where you can enjoy the lavishing attire of mother nature. You can see the green hills all around to the farthest you can see. While the terraced fields cultivated with buckwheat is adorned white flower blossom, the orchids that glow in the trunks of trees makes the whole environment mystical. The snow-clad mountains that rise high and watch over the hills and forests like a watchman, isn’t it amazing?

There are few local lodges and travel agencies that work with us for climate/ atmosphere protection. Climate/ atmosphere of the entire world has been degrading day by day. Cutting of trees, urbanization and people’s reckless decision for pollution has caused global warning which has an adverse long term impact. No one can run from the natural disaster. Earthquake of 7.8 magnitudes in Nepal in April 2015 is an example. It caused a huge loss of life and property. Himal Eco Treks has coordinated with different parties to revive the trekking trail of Helambu that was once devastated by the same earthquake in 2015. Helambu Climate Trek takes you along the trail that has revived after the earthquake. The newly built earthquake-proof and eco-friendly houses, lodges and how these places have given job opportunities to local people.

No wonder, you can experience all of this with the glorious views of lush hills, valley and wild mountains all around. You can walk through the pristine environment along with the rhododendron forests enjoying the distant view of Jugal Himal. You can explore the local people especially the people from Sherpa and Tamang community. Their traditional way of livelihood and the vibrant Tibetan Buddhist culture that adds color to their life, Helambu Climate Trek is truly an enriching experience.

So, are you ready for this lively experience? It all starts with a sightseeing tour to the UNESCO listed world heritage sites in Kathmandu. It is followed by a drive to Chipping and hike up different villages in the Helambu valley. You can enjoy the splendor of Himalayas along with the serenity of hills, valleys, and dense forests.

 Verified Adventure of a lifetime in the Himalayas My experience with Bhairam and Himal Eco Treks was amazing! Everything was accounted for from Kathmandu hotels, local and remote transportation (that flight into Lukla is one to remember), tea houses on the trails, food, knowledgeable guides happy to inform on local culture and what that peak waaay in the distance was. I would definitely travel with this company again.

 Verified Excellent Manaslu trek experience Bhairam was our lead guide for an 11 day trek on Manaslu Circuit, with a party of 5. We had 2 guides and 3 porters. Our experience was excellent in every respect, including arrangements from pick up from airport to departure. Bhairam was wise, patient, kind, generous, and led our group with experience and skill. I highly recommend Bhairam, as well as the company he is very much a part of, Himal Eco Treks.

 Verified Gokyo Lakes and Kathmandu Tour The team at Himal Eco Treks went above and beyond for our trek to Gokyo Lakes. They made sure our trip was unforgettable, stress-free, and safe. Thank you to Bhairam and Gakul who were excellent guides and managed all the little details that made the trip run smoothly. They set a comfortable pace and were always checking in with us. I want to add that from what I observed the porters they hired were treated with dignity and concern for their safety, as well. Thank you to Ramesh for a fantastic post-trip tour of Kathmandu's beautiful historic sites. 10/10 recommend Himal Eco Treks for anyone considering a Himalayan trek. It is a life-changing experience.

 Verified Great Himalayan trek and Kathmandu tour Himal Eco Treks did a fantastic job organizing and guiding our trek in the Everest region. We had comfortable accommodations, good food, and our guides did a great job pacing our group well and supporting members of our group who were having trouble. Post-trek, Himal Eco Trek arranged great last minute tours of Kathmandu and Chitwan. Our guides also helped arrange a special birthday celebration for me when my birthday happened to be one of the days of our trek. Highly recommend for anyone interested in treks or other tours in Nepal!

 Verified Go visit Goyko region! I had a wonderful experience with a group of friends trekking to Goyko, Goyko lakes and summit in Goyko Ri. It was as if we submitted the top of the world! The tour is very well organized, the guides were very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly to be around. The guides kept us all safe at altitude too. The tour company was also very flexible about arranging different side tours in Kathmandu and different departure dates for members of our group. It was a real pleasure and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

 Verified Trip, trek and visits, 2 weeks in Nepal organized by Himal Eco Treks company. Professional and reliable, we are very happy. We chose this agency based on a friend’s recommendation, and we’re so glad we did! Now we’re happy to recommend it ourselves. We spent two unforgettable weeks traveling across Nepal, with everything organized by Bhairam: guided tours (Heritage Tour in Kathmandu recommended), a multi-day trek (special thanks to our porter, Dak), transportation, accommodations, and all the logistics. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and adapted to our pace, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It was our first trip to Nepal, hopefully not the last. Professional, reliable, and genuinely caring, we are truly satisfied and grateful! Sandrine and Yamil
