Jyamrung Trek Overview

There are numerous “community” and “cultural” treks available in Nepal to you. Then how this trek is different is a valid question. Indeed, Mountain Delights Trek does not operate a community trek for you, but since its establishment, it has been supporting local communities in the areas where we take our trekkers. We designed this trek itinerary to provide you with an in-depth experience of the community in the rural and off-route routes. Thus the program is special.

If you have a question in mind, “What it would be to live like a Nepali in a remote village?” Join us for this Jyamrung Trek. During the Jayamrung Trek, you will stay in a local house, helping local people with their everyday chores. This could be working in the fields; cooking for the family; looking after the animals; helping in the local school; enjoying and participating in a nightly musical concert, and so on. Whatever your host is doing, you will also have the opportunity to participate.

The village we take you to is remote and not often visited by tourists. It therefore provides a unique opportunity for cross-cultural communication and understanding. For every dollar spent in the village, Mountain Delights donates an equal amount to the local community fund. This community fund is managed by the community to provide various resources as they see urgent e.g. education facilities, health requirements, roads, improved water, etc.

We, through community treks, aim to offer a sustainable economic future for the villages and their communities and provide you with a unique opportunity to be their guest.
Our objective is to promote tourism with social causes by using porters and staff from the villages you visit. We make sure that local people are benefiting from the trekking. Our company makes sure that our staff are well cared for through insurance, a good salary, and other benefits.

In this Jyamrung trek, you trek to ‘The Ganesh Himal’, which is named after the elephant-headed God of Good Fortune, Ganesha. This region offers untouched natural splendor, wild and friendly inhabitations, and an amazing range of peaks including Ganesh I, Ganesh II, Ganesh III, Ganesh IV, Mount Manaslu, the Tibet range, Langtang, and Annapurna stand out like crystal that is the "Great Himalayan Chain" forming the skyline.

Jyamrung Trek Itinerary

Collapse All -
bed Hotel meals Welcome Dinner

Arrival in Kathmandu. Meet with our friendly representative at the arrival terminal of only International airport. And, then you will be transferred to your hotel. You check-in at your Hotel and then after short rest you can go to explore market area of Thamel – where you can eat your supper, change money, buy some stuffs from supermarket, or buy trekking gears – if you need to do. Later we take you to our office for the trip briefing. Overnight at your hotel. Delay of any kind will postpone the events for next day according to feasibility.

bed Hotel meals Breakfast

You start the day with delicious breakfast served at your Hotel. The sightseeing involves tour of two religious and cultural sites of Pashupatinath temple and Boudhanath stupa. Pashupatinath Temple: It is one of the most celebrated Hindu temples in South-Asia. The temple is devoted to Lord Shiva. This place is a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. The Bagmati river flowing besides the temple is religiously and spiritually significant for Hindus where cremation of dead body takes place. Pashupatinath temple holds the most of prominence during Shivaratri – Shiva’s birthday and thousands of pilgrims gather in the night to celebrate the day. Boudhanath Stupa: It is one of the biggest Stupas in terms of size and height in Nepal and located in east of Kathmandu in the ancient trade route between India-Nepal and Tibet. The site is peaceful and culturally filled with intermixed influence of Tibetan and Sherpa roots. Stupa built in the trading route between Kathmandu and Tibet has four pairs of eyes directed towards all four directions. It is believed to be influenced by Mahayana Buddhist philosophy. After short tour of city we return to hotel and prepare for the trek. Overnight will be spent at hotel.

bed Tented Camp meals Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner

After you enjoy delicious breakfast at the Hotel, you drive quite long for the day. It is long yet enjoyable drive in the mountain landscape with beautiful farming terraced field, river bed, brief view of the Himalayan peaks and rural lifestyle. From Trishuli Bazar – a famous trade town in the trade route of India Tibet in ancient period – we cross the Trishiuli river bridge and drive rough road to reach Satdobato, your night stay place. It is well established village with high school, and a health post and people of mixed culture live here. Overnight in the camp.

This small town has people of mixed culture as well with a Hindu temple across the river, and Buddhist Monastery nearby. After Lunch, you continue uphill gradually to Bhalche village where we set up camp for your night stay. Today’s walk is an impressive one through farm terraces, dotted Tamang villages, and beautiful waterfall. Our campsite is beautiful spot with open and wide ground surrounded by Buddhist prayer flags and village view on the other side. Overnight in Camp.

bed Tented Camp meals Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner

This is not that long day after breakfast. You first climb down to the small river and start to climb uphill to reach the village named Salme – your second night’s campsite. It is very natural in the mid-hill mountain that you descend to the river and climb again after crossing it, sometime steep and sometime gradual. Salme village is comprised of largely Tamangs – ethnic indigenous living in the circumference of Kathmandu valley – with few houses of Dalit community – a historically marginalized people of so-called lower caste hierarchy of Hindu practice. Overnight in camp.

bed Tented Camp meals Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner

After breakfast you start steep uphill to the Salme top where you enjoy the lunch here with beautiful view. From here the most impressive view of the mighty Himalayan peaks can be seen. This is probably the hardest day of the whole trek. After lunch, you still walk a gradual up then a long way down to small stream from where you climb up to Meghang – a small town populated by farmers with a majestic view of the Himalayan peaks. Overnight stay in camp.

bed Tented Camp meals Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner

A short and gradual climb to the edge opens up with a beautiful view of the Himalayas. You walk down to Chautara village for lunch and a mostly gradual walk to Sally or Katunje village. You walk past various beautiful small villages, terraced farming field, diverse cultural groups, local shopping centers and beautiful landscape overall. Overnight stay in camp.

After breakfast in your camp, start walking down to Simle – place where you enjoy your lunch for today. From Simle after lunch you trek further down to lower Jyamrung.

Here we show you our community projects such as school, micro-hydropower, eco-friendly toilet, health center etc. You can go for fishing or swimming in the fresh water river as well. And we show you all the social project we have done for the locals. Overnight in the house accommodation.

bed Hotel meals Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner

We cross the river by hanging bridge and take private 4WD jeep to Kathmandu. Half part of the road to Dhading Bensi – district headquarter of previous administrative division which is changed now into municipality – is bumpy and from here it is black topped and comfortable. You join the Kathmandu –Pokhara highway from Malekhu. Arrive Kathmandu and mingle yourself in the city life again. Overnight in a hotel.

After breakfast at your Hotel, we take you to the mysterious Kathmandu city tour. This historical, cultural and spiritual city unveils the social and historical mysteries to visitors.

Exceptional support and a pleasure to work with

I cannot recommend Mountain Delights Tracks and Expeditions highly enough. When I suddenly needed to change flight tickets and struggled to find accommodation in Kathmandu, Caramal and the team stepped in immediately. Always responsive, always helpful, and always calm and solution-oriented – even in a stressful situation. Their dedication, reliability and genuinely friendly approach made a huge difference for me. It was truly a pleasure to work with them, and I felt supported every step of the way. An outstanding company with people who really care.

Fantastic adventure and Well organized

Me and my husband had a fantastic trekking tour to Everest Base Camp (EBC) from Lukla and back with mountain delight trek. The guide Tilak was very helpfull and kind and full of positive energy and we enjoyed his trekking all the way. Also the porter was very helpfull and kind. We experienced the shepard culture and the shepards are so polite and they have a great hospitality. The Nature is so besutifull and the mountains are amazing. We Saw EBC on a sunny day and I could imagine the trekking to the summit of Everest.
It was an adventure I Will remember for the rest of my life. I will recommand this firm to do the trekkings in himalaya as you can trust this experienced firm 100 pct.

We used Mountain Delight Treks to trek Everest Base Camp

We used Mountain Delight Treks to arrange a 14 day tour to Mount Everest Base Camp and around. Mountain Delight Treks is a very professional company and they know their business to the smallest detail. As part of their business they lend out important gear as sleeping bags, very warm down jackets and more to make the trek as comfortable as possible. And it is all quality gear.
Furthermore, the company’s owner, Ram, is overseeing everything and following all treks on a daily basis. It is clear that Ram and Mountain Delight Treks are doing their outmost to give their clients the best possible experience.
It is also important to mention our guide Tilak. He really did his outmost to make the trek as great an experience as possible. He was up early, worked late and was constantly explaining what we saw and passed on our way. It was also his initiative to change the route back due to a heavy snowfall. We could not continue along the planed route. Instead he arranged visits to several small villages “off route”. This was in itself a very interesting part of the journey. We met so many kind local people and got some very unique experience.

Trekking in Langtang Valley

Would highly recommend Mountain Delights. We had an amazing time trekking in the Langtang Valley. Our guide, Dipak Nepal, did a fantastic job and made everything run smoothly throughout the trek. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Our two porters were also incredible. We would love to go trekking with Mountain Delights again in the future!

Poon Hill and ABC trek

I can really recommend Mountain Delights. We did a 9-day trek to Poon Hill and ABC and the whole experience was great.

Right from the start, Ram was super helpful in the office, giving us clear info and a lot of time to help figure out what trek suited us best. Our guide, Geli Sherpa, was a great guy, very professional but also shared so much about his culture and even joined in on our card games in the evening. Our porter, Peam Sherpa, did an amazing job and we were so glad to have him with us.

The best part was Geli’s expertise. He noticed the weather was shifting and suggested we reach base camp a day early. That easy change gave us "crazy good" weather and an amazing sunrise and sunset. Even when our flight to Pokhara was 3 hours late due to weather, they handled everything so smoothly that we never felt stressed.

The whole trip felt very personal and safe. I’m already looking forward to my next adventure with them!
