Description

The Ganesh Himal Trek offers an unparalleled journey through Nepal's recently promoted trekking region, now recognized as a major commercial trail. Following extensive research and development by the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN), the area is now equipped with teahouses and lodges, transitioning from its former camping-only status.

This trek traverses multiethnic villages nestled in the foothills of the majestic Ganesh Himal range. Named after the revered Hindu deity Ganesha, the region is steeped in spiritual significance, believed to bestow prosperity and good fortune.

Trekkers will navigate diverse landscapes, including grassy meadows like Pang Sang Pass and Sing La Pass, dense forests, and traditional villages. The trail offers panoramic views of peaks such as Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Manaslu, and Gaurishankar.
