Plan a trek into untouched Eastern part of Nepal, where alluring valleys meet snow-capped mountains! Hidden between the popular destinations of Langtang National Park and the Manaslu Conservation Area, Ganesh Himal trek has remained a well-kept secret to all but Nepal’s most eager trekkers. The trek offers a venture into a remote, pristine land, affording awe-inspiring views and a chance to get to know the local people living a traditional lifestyle. Ganesh Himal is named after the legendary elephant-headed Hindu God of Good Fortune, Ganesh, son of Lord Shiva. The route passes through breathtaking meadows and untouched coniferous forests and crosses high passes (4,100m). The trek offers an excellent view of the massif Ganesh Himal (7,406m), Annapurna (8,091m), Langtang (7,300m), Fishtail (6,990m), Manaslu (8,163m), Lamjung (6,800m) and many more.
Just a few hours drive from Kathmandu, the journey begins. Then we will pass through the lowland farm terraces jungles, rocky landscapes, terraced hills and over the raging waters. The Ganesh Range Peaks (Ganesh I, Ganesh II, Ganesh III, Ganesh IV) stand out like crystals, forming a “Magnificent Himalayan Chain” in the skyline. Wildflowers flourish, and waterfalls garnishing the lush hill scenery in a land blessed with wide-ranging scenery, biological, and cultural diversity. In addition, you get to experience the quaint old villages of the local ethnic people. Prepare to be amazed by the spectacular vistas and panoramas as we continue up to the Pansang La Pass at 4,100m and Shing La Pass at 4,200m, the highest altitudes reached on this trek. Ganesh Himal trekking starts from Salangkhu Khola, at Trishuli valley and ends at Gorkha.
