GANESH HIMAL TREKKING

Located in between two popular destinations of Langtang National Peak and Manaslu Conservation Area Project; the Ganesh Himal range is a less explored trekking route. Named after the Hindu God Ganesha, son of Shiva and Parbati, this area is conveniently closed to Kathmandu and is easily accessed by the Prithivi Highway as well as Pasang Lhamu highway along the southern fringes, connecting Kathmandu and Pokhara.

There are several viewpoints in the area offering immense panoramas of Ganesh Himal range. Langtang Lirung, Paldor and many others. Other attractions include the magnificent Ganga Jamuna: a twin waterfall, Kalo Seto lake, Ganesh kunda lake, and Tripurasundari temple. The area is populated mainly by Tamang, Gurung, and Ghale to the north, and Brahmin, Chhetri, Dalit, Newar and Chepang at the lower elevations in the south.

Ganesh Himal Trekking begins from Syabrubesi after eight/nine hour drive from Kathmandu. From Syabrubesi, we reach Gatlang, a popular Tamang village. The trail passes through pine and rhododendron forest to Somdang where there once was a ruby mine. We then trek to Pangsang Kharka; a viewpoint southwest of Somdang village. Crossing through the Pangsang Pass (3,842m), we trek through several Tamang settlements to Nojet Kharka where we can visit the Kalo and Seto Lakes (Black and white lakes). After a hot soak at Tatopani, we pass through Gurung villages and enter into Gorkha district. The route further takes us to scenic villages and fertile fields of the Bhramin people ending the trek at Tripura Sundari.
