Introduction
Situated very close to Kathmandu Valley with the less crowded trail, the Helambu Circuit Trek is the perfect place for the practitioners of yoga and meditation. This is an engaging and exciting journey of the spiritual world. Unquestionably, it combines the enjoyment of being in the presence of natural beauty with practicing yoga every day in the morning and evening. Blended with Buddhist and Hindu culture, the trek is short and favorable for those who can’t go to higher altitudes and walk longer. The presence of rhododendron forests, breathtaking waterfalls, and the snow-capped Himalayas adds to the beauty of the region. On a clear day, it is possible to witness spectacular vistas of mountains like Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh, and Langtang.
Helambu Yoga Retreat Trek is one of the diverse hikes near Kathmandu because of the unique and rich culture of the high mountain people’s Hyolmo. The Helambu and Melamchi Valleys in northeastern Nepal are home to the indigenous Hyolmo or Yolmo people, sometimes known as the “Helambu Sherpas”. In fact, the language spoken by the Hyolmo people is quite similar to Tibetan. The primary agricultural occupation of the Hyolmo people is the cultivation of potatoes, radishes, and other crops. The Hyolmo people were famous for producing yak cheese and for herding yaks. But most of them are in the tourism business these days.
Hyolmo aka Helambu is a practitioner’s paradise of breathtaking mountains, hills, and hidden valleys. The region holds self-arisen occurrences that inspire faith, and healing waters that are astounding and essentially unexplored. Its proximity to Kathmandu begs that each pilgrim who comes to Nepal. Formerly, make the journey into the mountains to witness for oneself the majesty of the Hyolmo Snow Enclosure. And then enjoy the blessings conferred by the renowned Guru Padmasambhava of Odiyana and his disciple, Yeshe Tsogyal.
Continue ReadingMelamchim-ghyang is the most evident place in Hyolmo. As per the Buddhist inscriptions, Yeshe Tsogyal and Guru Rinpoche have left behind personal belongings and secret treasures. Located in the Hyolmo Snow Enclosure, a “hidden land” of the Guru and his main Tibetan disciple, Yeshe Tsogyal, Melamchi-yang is a spiritual place that is secluded from the modern world. For the same reason, Melamchi-ghyang is also a great site to start a practice or meditation retreat if you are you are willing to travel to Hyolmo. Equally important, the Guru himself has claimed that practicing for a day in any part of Hyolmo Valley is equivalent to practicing for a year in ordinary places.
Hyolmo (also called Helambu) in northern Nepal is renowned for its many drub-phug, or meditation caves. Among them, two of which are well-known for being Guru Rinpoche’s places of meditation. The lower cave at Melamchi-ghyang is easier to reach. The cave is known as the Nyin-da Rang-Jung Drug-phug, or Meditation Cave of the Self-arisen Sun and Moon. The cave got its name from the naturally occurring crescent shape that encircles a circle in the cave’s stone roof. This shape represents the union of wisdom and skillful practices.
Undeniably, pilgrims and practitioners should visit a sacred location Lion Fort Tiger Cave at Karchung. It is the cave where the renowned Tibetan yogi Milarepa spent three years. The mentor Marpa, guided him to achieve realizations in this location.

Train Yourself
Qualification/Training
The best physical condition is required to trek in Nepal’s high altitude. Without some pre-trek training or a good level of basic fitness, it can be hard. We suggest running, walking, hiking on the hill, and climbing stairs rather than elevators to prepare for the trek. Include swimming, rowing, and biking in your daily base training.
Basic further experience and strength required for Trekking
- One should be able to hike for 6-7 hours a day.
- One should be able to carry 8 kg themselves in a backpack for preparation.
- We suggest you run about 4/5 miles in the home for the preparation with some load on your back for 2 to 3 months to make your climbing much easier. Or use the treadmill for everyday running and walking.
- If you have an uphill location/mountain then once a week you should go hiking with a loaded bag pack on your back. If you do not have mountains and high hills then use stairs to go up/down than the elevator.
- Regular swimming, biking, and rowing are also good ways to maintain your physical strength.
- Fuel your body well with small but frequent healthy foods and drink plenty of water.
- Go through a trek grading and know what type of trekking is suitable for you. The treks are graded as easy, moderate, hard, and challenging treks.
- Go after what you want and what your physical capabilities will allow you to. Do not push too hard yourself. Trekking is not a competition. It is relaxing and rewarding.
- Walk at a pace you are most comfortable with. An assistant guide will be always walking at the back of the group so you don’t have to rush to catch up with the faster walkers at the front.
- Using trekking poles reduces the body and backpack’s weight on the legs and makes walking more easier on inclines.
- Invest in the comfortable full trekking boot with ankle support and a sturdy Vibram sole that suits your foot to avoid blisters.

- Food and accommodation in the mountains would be rechecked for additional hygiene.
Meals during the trek
All the meals including breakfasts, lunch, and dinner are served during your stay in Kathmandu and the trekking journey. Usually, breakfast and dinner are served at the same hotel where we stay overnight and lunch is served en route to our destination during the trek.
The services are basic, with some of the popular Western, Asian, or Nepalese menus being the most popular and consumed. The most popular and common menu items include the Dal-Bhat set, which consists of rice, lentils, and vegetables, as well as meat, rice, and noodle items, spaghetti, pasta, momo(dumplings), Tibetan bread, chapatti, local tsampa porridge, potatoes, sandwiches, macaroni dishes, pizza, Sherpa stew, steaks, vegetable curry and so forth. The Dessert Items (Rice Pudding, Apple pie), Hard Drinks Steaks, etc.) are available on the menu as well during the trek.
However, you cannot compare them with the choices available in large cities. Usually, local agricultural products are used to prepare meals. Other ingredients are purchased from the market if they cannot grow at a particular elevation.
Breakfast and dinner orders are taken in advance to save time; breakfast orders are taken the night before and dinner orders are taken as soon as you arrive at the teahouse. Depending on your schedule for the day, your typical day will begin. Breakfast is served in your lodge each morning, after which you leave for the next stop. A guide will notify the next tea house or lodge of your arrival each day. Around noon, you’ll stop for lunch at any nearby lodge on the way. You will arrive at your destination shortly after lunch. You can unwind or explore the nearby attractions when you arrive. You will dine around 7 to 8 pm.
At high altitudes, we strongly advise drinking hot liquid drinks in addition to fresh vegetable foods and fruit drinks. Drink plenty of water, not all a once but regularly on a time intervals.
It is best to avoid smoking cigarettes, consuming alcohol, non-vegetarian foods like meat, caffeine-containing foods, hot chocolate, and dairy and cheese products on high-altitude treks. These things increase the chances of getting altitude sickness and diarrhea.
Accommodation during the trek
We use the best available lodges and select the best accommodation in the region.
You can find some teahouses and lodges with good services on the trekking routes during your trekking days. But as you ascend higher they become more basic. Rooms are basic, almost every room consisting twin-bedded with two beds with a mattress, a pillow, and blankets. You can share a room with a fellow trekker with whom you feel at ease.
Although, each lodge has its own set of standards, please do not anticipate luxurious accommodations, particularly in the mountains. Most teahouses offer hot showers, boiled drinking water, extra blankets, charging stations, and WIFI for an additional fee. The price of teahouses is determined by the location and the facilities/services they offer.
Safe Drinking Water
The availability of drinking water is not an issue. Bottled mineral water is available in most places for purchase, but there is no provision to dispose of plastic bottles. We encourage guests to do what they can to protect the environment. We do not recommend purchasing single-use plastic bottles. You can buy or bring your own Nalgene bottles on the trek which makes the trail free from bottles and rubbish.
Filling your water bottles in tea houses is another option for getting drinking water. Several guesthouses have the Euro-guard filters water. Boiled filter water is also available in tea houses that are completely safe to drink but may be inexpensive for the duration of the trek.
River water is generally full of glaciers and sand and may be contaminated with animal urine and toilet run-off, so do not drink it. The tap water in the lodges is piped from high up, away from rivers and clean glaciers, so it is better, but it still must be treated.
Use iodine drops (3 per liter) locally known as Lugols solution, available at Thamel supermarkets in Kathmandu. The chlorine-based tablets are another choice, but they do transmit a taste to the water. Alternatively, you could purchase a Steripen, which uses UV to kill the bacteria but is a bit fragile to carry during the trek.
The best option is the water purification tablet Aquaprove, which uses cutting-edge technology. Most importantly, it works against all pathogens in impure water. It’s light, simple to use, has no taste, and is all-natural.
Waste Management during the trek
Leave No Traces, Only the Footprints! Pack out your waste. We practice responsible eco-tourism and organize eco-friendly trips to support sustainable tourism.
The trekking trail in Nepal has suffered significant damage as a result of not having a strong policy on waste management. Act and travel responsibly. We prefer that all of our clients bring their trash keep them in a container or bag, and dispose of it properly at a specific spot or dustbin.
Difficulties during the Helambu Yoga Retreat Trek
- The trekking trail gets filthy during the Monsoon.
- Altitude sicknesses like nausea, breathing difficulties, and headaches become common despite the lower altitude trek.
- High-tech facilities like Wi-fi and ATMs get exorbitant at high lands.
- Peak season might create an insufficiency of guest houses and lodges
- Accommodations are economical as we go higher in the highlands.
How to avoid acute mountain sickness?
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is the most deadly risk of trekking. Anyone can get a victim of this sickness when their body is exposed to a higher elevation in a short period of time and the body is unable to adapt to the changing atmospheric pressures. As you ascend higher, the oxygen and air pressure decrease. Our bodies are capable of handling the change, but they require time to gradually adapt. If it is not treated in time, it can be severe and result in death. You can take a few preventative measures to avoid it.
- Not to climb too high too fast.
- Climb slowly and attain the height gradually.
- Take it easy and climb at your own comfortable pace.
- Reduce your walking hours as you reach 2000 meters and walk slowly.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Get plenty of rest. If you feel like your body needs more rest, get it.
- Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking.
- Meditation and warm-up exercise each day before starting the trek.
- Allow an acclimatization day for every 1000m of elevation gain.
There are two more serious but less common severe forms of altitude sickness. Both have the potential to be fatal. You must descend immediately to receive medical care.
High-altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) causes the lungs to swell with excess fluid, which makes breathing difficult even when at rest. You experience extreme exhaustion, weakness, and perhaps a sense of suffocation. A dry cough, nose breathing, shortness of breath, fever, chest tightness, rapid heart rates, congestion, swelling, and fainting are the symptoms of HAPE. If HAPE is not promptly treated by lowering the altitude or using oxygen, it can be fatal.
High-altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) is characterized by an accumulation of fluid on the brain that results in swelling. Confusion, poor coordination, and possibly violent behavior could occur. Hallucinations, loss of consciousness, fever and fatigue, photophobia, hypertension, coma, shortness of breath, and inability to walk are some more symptoms of HACE. HACE can result in death if it is not treated immediately.
The early signs of altitude sickness can be relieved by immediately descending. However, if you are experiencing severe acute mountain sickness symptoms, you should see a doctor.
The drug acetazolamide can ease heavy breathing and lessen the effects of altitude sickness. You may also be given the steroid Dexamethasone. But you are never recommended to take such drugs as far as possible until the situation is harsh.
