Located just 75 km north of Kathmandu, the Helambu Valley offers a unique educational and adventure trekking experience, perfectly suited for International School Students. This culturally rich region is home to four main villages—Melamchigyang, Nakote, Tarkeghyang, and Sermathang. Here, students can embark on an immersive journey of discovery, exploring the vibrant Hyolmo culture, a distinct but closely related ethnicity to the Sherpa people.

Our program completes a circuit of the Helambu valley (hence also called Helambu Circuit Trek). The highlight of our trip is the excursion to Ama Yangri peak (3,711 m) - a popular pilgrimage destination for the locals but less-frequent hiking destination. This peak, the highest in proximity to Kathmandu, lies approximately 90 kilometers to the north of the Kathmandu Valley. 

On the full moon day of Chaitra, which corresponds to March or April, individuals from the Hyalmo community, as well as visitors from across the nation and beyond, gather at Aama Yangri before dawn to take part in the religious ceremony and witness the breathtaking sunrise.

Join Himalayan Ecstasy's Helambu Valley School Trek for an ideal introduction to life in Nepal. The journey combines stunning Himalayan views with authentic cultural encounters, providing students with a vivid and immersive learning experience.
