Our journey to explore Helambu’s new tourist site, Chhyadi Ghyang, began from Boudha in Kathmandu, following the route via Melamchi to Helambu. This journey was not just a visit but a quest for the unique beauty and tranquility of nature.
Upon reaching Ghopte Ghyang within the Helambu Rural Municipality and tasting local delicacies, we started our trek along the Helambu Himalayan Great Trail. The recently constructed sections of the trail made the hike more comfortable.
The sight of bees collecting nectar from the flowers was truly enchanting. The loud calls of various bird species brought life to the forest. The peaceful environment, birdsong, and greenery helped us forget our fatigue and filled our hearts with joy.
After about seven hours of trekking, we reached Tharepati, where comfortable hotels are available for lodging. From this location, it is also possible to visit the famed Gosainkunda. A two-hour journey from there brings us to Chhyadi Ghyang.
Situated at 4,200 meters above sea level, Chhyadi Ghyang is Helambu’s newest tourist destination. On Jestha 24, 2083, an historic executive meeting of the Helambu Rural Municipality was held in the area’s plains. The meeting decided to establish this place as a new tourism hub, prioritizing domestic tourism promotion, glacier conservation, and climate change mitigation.
Chhyadi Ghyang’s natural beauty, Himalayan views, dense forests, and tranquil environment make it well-suited for trekking. Its proximity to glaciers also makes the region ideal for studying the impacts of climate change.
This journey delivered a clear message: Helambu hosts many more beautiful destinations that, with proper development, can boost both domestic and international tourism.
We are confident that areas like Chhyadi Ghyang will provide new opportunities to elevate Nepal’s tourism to greater heights.
