Overview of Ganesh Himal Trekking
The Ganesh Himal Trek area is in the
central-eastern region of Nepal. This region offers spectacular views,
untouched natural splendor, wild and friendly residents. The Name of Mount Ganesh
Himal is named after the elephant-headed god. The Ganesh Himal can be seen from
the Kathmandu valley. It is the first chance in the Himalayas that forms the
horizon. This huge Himalayan massif is located between the valleys. It
established Budhi Gandaki in the west and Bhotekoshi in the east. As a result,
it becomes Trishuli Khola at the bottom.
There are three main groups of peaks
between Kathmandu and Pokhara, such as Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu,
including Mount Annapurna. This hike is ideal for those who want to escape the
most popular regions of Annapurna and Everest. It is famous for its untouched
Tamang culture, the spectacular view of the mountains, and the colorful
rhododendron forest. Ganesh Himal Trek is conveniently located near Kathmandu.
During the Ganesh Himal trip, you will
observe the different ways of lifestyle, culture, and connect with the rural
population in small towns. On the way to the trekking time, you will get to
know the lifestyle of this rural population in Nepal. You will also get a milestone
and a kind of wooden machine for throwing rice, millet, and corn, the vital
glamour of the village. In Sing-la-Pass you cross 4400 m above sea level, which
offers an exceptional view of the Ganesh Himal, Langtang Himal, Manaslu and
Annapurna massif of the Himalayan series. Not so many tourists are the
specialty of this region. You may not be able to see foreigners, not even
modern Nepalese other than locals
Important note
Your safety is an essential concern when
traveling with us. Your leader is authorized to change or cancel part of the
itinerary if this is considered necessary for security reasons. Every effort is
made to adhere to the above plan. However, since this trip involves walking in a
remote area so, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. Weather
conditions, the health of a group member, unexpected natural disasters, etc.
cancontribute to changes in the itinerary.
The guide will try to make sure that the trip goes according to plan, but
please ready to be flexible if necessary.
Representatives of our office will be on
hand with our vehicle to pick you up at Tribhuvan International Airport in
Kathmandu and your name will be displayed on our signboard in front of the
airport terminal. Then you will drop to your hotel. It will be your first-night stay in Kathmandu valley. You will be staying at a three-star deluxe hotel in
Kathmandu.
We start our journey with a trip from
Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. We drive along the picturesque highway along the
Trishuli River and looking at the beautiful hills and villages. The road is
pretty adventurous. You can see Ganesh Himal along the way. After a 7 to 8 hour
drive, we reached Syabrubesi next to the gateway to the Langtang region. You
will be staying at Lodge in Syabrubesi
Today, after having breakfast, we start
our trek from Syabrubesi, and out ending point is Gatlang. We follow the path
to Bahun Dada and then to the settlement of the village of Tamang in Gatlang.
Parvati Kunda is located directly above Gatlang and attracts many tourists
during Janai Purnima. From the Parvati Kunda viewpoint, we have an excellent
view of the region. A cultural show welcomes us in the village of Golijung and
Gatlang. We spend the night in Gatlang.
On the third day of our journey, we continue
our trek from Gatlang to Somdang. The path leads along a gravel road and then
through rhododendron forests to Yuri Kharka. The forest trail continues to
Khurpu Bhanjyang before descending into the Somdang River. The Somdang River
separates the Rasuwa district from Dhading.
On the way, we see the beautiful
Langtang Mountains, Ganesh Himal, Jugal Himal, Paldor Peak, and many other
mountains.
You can also get to know the culture,
heritage, and traditions of the Tamang people. The path then leads through the
beautiful Chukarma waterfall. We spend the night in Somdang
We leave Somdang very early, cross the
forest and observe the Langtang mountain ranges. The hike leads smoothly
through the villages, forests, and trees of cultivated communities. You arrive
at a vast green meadow from the Pangsang Pass, which offers a beautiful view to
the southwest of Somdang, and you can see Manaslu Peak and Ganesh Himal to the
north.
The Ganesh Himal region is known for its
herb flora and fauna. The area used to be a route for traders who traded herbs
for cattle and salt. The Pangsang Pass offers a breathtaking 270-degree view of
the Mount Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, Annapurna range, and other smaller peaks. We
spend the night at camp.
On the 5th day, the trail descends to
the Tipling village. Tipling is a large settlement with two Buddhist gumpas and
two churches. The path then climbs to the pass of the bamboo, pine and
rhododendron forests. You will also see some pristine waterfalls, gomba, and
cremation field with many Buddhist flags in the Jungle.
The primary residents of the region are
the Tamang. The Tamang has a rich heritage and culture. You can experience
shaman dance, which is an exclusive mixture of Hindu and Buddhist spiritual
practices.
After further descending and crossing
the Adha Khola River, we reach the village of Shertung and Chalisa. Shertung
means a gold place in the Tamang language. After a steep descent and crossing
the Gorkhen Khola suspension bridge, we make the last ascent to Shertung Chalisa.
After breakfast, we need 30 minutes to
walk down to Chalisa. Chalish Village is a hospitality village where Gurung and
Dalit live together. The walk continues to Tatopani, where you can bathe in the
hot springs and have lunch.
After lunch, we go uphill towards the
Tamang village of Neber. From Neber, you can see the Ganesh Himal in the
foreground. Homestays are possible in the city.
You can continue exploring the Tatopani
and relax in the hot springs. The path then follows the stone steps built by
the British Gurkhas in Nepal and with the help of Kadoorie Agri. They have also
developed several water taps, bridges, and improved paths; we pass the tire to
reach the villages of Rachyat and Kapur. After a walk of about 4-5 hours, we
reached the village of Kupchyat. We stayed in a camp or tea house to spend the
night.
After an early breakfast, we hike to the
Timla Pass (3820 m) after a hike of approx. 2 hours. You can see the Langtang
Range and Annapurna Range while walking through the alpine rhododendron
forests. The path is not marked correctly.
The path then leads down a slippery path
towards Gaon Lapchat. After crossing Lapchat Khola on a box bridge, we reached
the large village of Lapa Gaon. Lapa Gaon is a Tamang settlement which was
developed with many ongoing infrastructure developments. You can stay in the
local Tamang houses.
We start the hike passing through Ankhu
Khola. The Ankhu Khola is a small pristine river that flows water directly from
the pristine Himalayas. The trek continues on a climb from Borang village.
After having lunch in Borang, we continue our walkthrough Ukhum.
The path then leads into the Lishne
forest, crosses a suspension bridge, and leads through the village. After a
long walk of about 5-6 hours, you will reach another Tamang village, Jharlang,
also called Ungul. The village is no different and offers a wide range of views
of the snow-capped mountains.
We go to the Jharlang landslide, where
the crossing takes about an hour. Landslides are frequent in the area.
Therefore, the path should be carefully crossed with the help of a local guide.
We continue downhill towards the hungry Khola, where we cross a suspension
bridge and climb up to the village of Kuri.
There are no shops between the villages,
so snacks and protein bars should be brought along with water for hydration. We
walk through dense forests and cross the community and finally reach our
destination in Khaniyabas village. The village has many tea shops and guest
houses for travelers. You can see the breathtaking sunset view with the
unspoiled mountains in the background.
After breakfast, we go an hour to Thamu
Khola and then climb another two and a half hours to Kimdang village. After
lunch in Kimdang, we go to the top of the Megang Danda. The Megang Danda has a
jungle at the top of the hill, and you should be careful about encountering a
wild animal. Megang Danda offers panoramic mountain views for the last time
before returning to Kathmandu. We spend the night in Megang Danda.
After breakfast, we start our guided
tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Patan and Bhaktapur. Patan Durbar
Square is rich in architecture and ancient arts. We also visit Bhaktapur, an
irresistible city with an authentic local lifestyle that has been preserved
through centuries of isolation from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. While
we're in the town square, we can admire the Nyata Pola Temple, the Golden Gate,
the water pipes, and the 55 Window Palace, which together offer a magical open-air
theatre atmosphere for visitors. After visiting these places, you will back to the
hotel.

Essential Information
The best time to explore Ganesh Himal
The best time for the Ganesh Himal Trek
is the fall season. By then, the monsoon would have cleared up, and the views
of the Himalayas would be great. The months of September to November are the primary
time for hiking in the Ganesh Himal with clear skies and cold temperatures.
The spring months of March to May, when
the hills are full of flora, are also suitable for hiking in the Ganesh Himal.
The climate is warmer at low altitudes and colder at high altitudes.
How hard is Ganesh Himal Trek
Ganesh Himal Trekking is considered strenuous grade trekking. On this trip, you have to walk 7/8 hours a day
at an altitude of over 3,000 meters. You have to walk on the flat and steep
paths for about 12 days. The temperature during strenuous walks can be up to
-15 degrees Celsius. Trekking in cold weather and for such a long period
requires reasonable fitness. You also need a certain level of mental toughness to complete this journey.
Proposed preparation
·Cardiovascular
exercises such as running, cycling, jogging, push-ups, and pull-ups for approx.
4-5 days a week for three months before your trip are beneficial.
·You should also
participate in developing core strength and muscle endurance during strength
training.
·A walk on the
hills in different weather conditions is excellent preparation for this trip.
·If you have
access, kayaking and swimming can be a beneficial way to develop the strength
and stamina required for this trip.

Enjoyable Trek with helpful Guide and friendly porter
I have
traveled to Nepal twice and on both occasions received invaluable service and
assistance from the staff of Nepal Tour & Trekking Service P. Ltd. Mr.
Ganesh was a responsible and very professional person. The first time I walked
on Annapurna and the second time was in Mount Ganesh Himal. Both trips were
incredible, and I was able to see breathtaking scenery and wonderful people.
I strongly
recommend those who plan to organize a trip to Nepal, to count on the wonderful
service of this friend; excellent camping facilities. You will not regret it.
