And, the northern part of Helambu is bounded by the peak ranges of Langtang and the Jugal. That is the reason the people of this region is identified as ‘Yolmo wa' meaning people living at the area secured by the mountains. It offers arresting peak vistas and lets you explore culture and life style of Sherpa people. Likewise, the language people speak here are different than the one spoken in Solukhumbu area even if both the languages are started off from Tibetan. The Helambu Circuit Trekking is most significantly popular for its ancient Buddhist monasteries.
