Ganesh Himal Trekking
Ganesh Himal ruby valley trek is a newly explored trekking region in Nepal and situated between popular trekking destinations of Langtang National Park and the Manaslu Conservation Area Project. The trek is near both Kathmandu and Pokhara and no flight is involved.
Ganesh Himal Ruby Valley – wildflowers flourish and waterfalls embellish the lush hill scenery in a land blessed with wide-ranging geographical, cultural and biological diversity. Also, the trek offers sensational viewpoints that feature the magnificent Himalayan to the north. Most prominent is the Ganesh Himal range – a family of peaks among the most attractive of the entire Himalayas. The Ganesh massif is named in honor of the Hindu deity Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati. This region has some tremendous viewpoints that offer breathtaking views of Himalayan peaks and valleys including Ganesh Parbat and ruby valley. The most rewarding are the magnificent Ganga Jamuna (twin waterfalls), Ganesh Kunda, hot spring, holy Tripurasundari temple and especially the friendly and hospitable people that inhabit the region.
The Ganesh Himal ruby valley trek lies in the four very famous districts of Nepal including Dhading, Gorkha, Rasuwa, and Nuwakot. The whole area is populated mainly by Gurung, Tamang, and Gale to the north and Chetri, Bhramins, Dalit, Newar and Chepang at the lower elevations in the south. Trekkers are warmly welcomed by the villagers with a friendliness that makes Nepal legendary. This region has many amazing trekking itineraries, as per your request we would love to design a selective one for you according to your interest and time frame.
We will be happy to set up trekkers with a guide and all necessities for exploring this captivating and untouched region. The area is easily accessible by the Prithvi Highway and Pasang Lhamu Highway along the southern fringes, connecting Kathmandu and Pokhara. Another adventurous option is to hike from the Tamang Heritage Trail to Rasuwa and follow the Ruby Valley Trek; Ruby is the name of the valuable stone found in this area.
