Ganesh Himal derives its name from the Elephant-headed god Ganesha from the Hindu text. The Ganesh Himal ranges lie within the close proximity of Kathmandu valley at around 70 km.
Ganesh Himal Trek of 15 days from Himalayan Trekkers offers the best trekking experiences with an insight of cultures and the natural beauty of the entire ranges of Ganesh Himal. In addition, this is a new trekking trail, thus, you won’t see as many tourists around - allowing you to trek in a peaceful environment but the chirping of birds.
Our trek starts from Betrawati about 5 hours of drive from Kathmandu. We will walk past terraced farms and high altitude settlements of the Tamangs during the trek. The trail offers panoramic views of many mountains in the central Himalayan region including the Ganesh Himal, Langtang Lirung, Manaslu and more. Shing La Pass situated at 4200m is the highest point in this trek. On day 13th day, you come down to Dhading Besi and follow back to Kathmandu.
