Trip Overview
The Ganesh Himal Trek, unlike Everest and Annapurna, less explored route, is not busy trekking trail. It is, however, a remarkable Trekking Route in terms of Nature and culture. Stands as a Himalaya sub-range, Ganesh Himal locates in the north-central part of Nepal. The Trekking route lies in between famous National Park and Conservation Area—Langtang and Manaslu.
Ganesh Himal name derives from the Hindu Deity Ganesha, elephant-headed God. It sounds like a holy mountain, but it is practically not so popular among religious devotees. When the weather goes friendly—haze and cloud-free, we can view the enticing view of Ganesh Himal even from Kathmandu.
One should not miss Ganesh Himal Trekking once in the lifetime. The Trekking Route provides us with ample worthwhile time. Snow-caped high mountains, Himalayan foothill side by side the unique settlements of tribal groups reward our journey. Along the route, mostly, Tibetan-originated people dominate this location. They have their own unique culture and practices which differ to the mainland of Nepal.
