Highest Elevation :
3500m
It is a short cultural trek that takes only
seven days, starts from Sundarijal at the
eastern end of the Kathmandu Valley and does
not climb above 3500m. It makes a loop through
the Sherpa-populated Helambu region to the
north -east of Kathmandu. The Sherpa people
of the Helambu region are friendly and hospitable,
just like their better known kinfolk o the
Solu Khumbu region. As in Solu Khumbu, the
potato is a vitally important crop and not
only forms a large part of the local diet
but is also exported to the Nepalese lowland
in exchange for rice and other produce.
