Ganesh Himal Trek

The Ganesh Himal can clearly be seen from Kathmandu Valley. The Ganesh Range Peaks ( Ganesh I – IV) stand out like crystal, that is the ”Great Himalayan Chain” forming the skyline. This great Himalayan massif is contained between the Valley of the Budhi Gandaki in the west and Bhote Koshi in the east, which becomes Trishuli Khola in the lower section. We take a bus ride out of the valley and up through it hills. The first glimpse of Ganesh Himal greets us, when we crossing over the hills. We spend the first night nearby the Trishuli River at Betrawati in the small town. During the trek we observe the different ways of life, culture and come in contact with the rural people in the small village, passing through the dense forestations and meadows. We cross through high Shing La Pass and Pasang La Pass which offers an excellent view of the massif Ganesh Himal, Langtang and Annapurna.
