Ganesh Himal Trek

Nepal » Trekking » Off the Beaten Trek » Ganesh Himal Trek

Just west of Langtang National Park is a group of peaks collectively called the Ganesh Himal. Trek to this spectacular remote area begins at the least flattened trail in the central Himalayan range of Nepal passing through the culturally rich unspoiled ethnic villages, dense forests with Himalayan flora and fauna at the backdrop of the mesmerizing mountain ranges of Mt. Ganesh, Mt. Manaslu and Mt. Langtang. The trek commences from Trishuli Bazaar to Gorkha Bazaar with an attractive panorama of the Ganesh Himal for about 3 weeks. It gives an insight into a rural Nepalese life, the rich Nepalese cultural tradition from the closest quarter and a chance to intermingle with locals, giving the visitor a sense of satisfaction.
