Chautara is the district headquarter of Sindhupalchok district at a distance of 90 km. from Kathmandu. Lying in the lap of Jugal himal, it is believed to be named after two hills "Sindhu" and "Palchok". The Sherpa villages of Helambu due north of Kathmandu valley presents an easy gateway. This area because of its low elevation and the sherpa villages make it an interesting 6 days loop. Starting with a shot drive from Kathmandu to Sundarijal the trail to Helambu climbs on to the Shivapuri ridge from where there are sweeping views of the central Himalayas. Rivers and mountainous valleys are another attraction of this trek. This trip involves moderate hiking and reaches a height of 3500m.
Tatopani is a famous place with hot springs. It is believed that many skin problems are cured by bathing in these hot springs as well as it also relives pain of various body parts. Hot springs are well managed by local people with shops that provide drinks, towels, bathing suits etc.
