About This Tour

The Ganesh Himal Trek explores the foothills and ridgelines below the Ganesh Himal range — a cluster of seven peaks north of Kathmandu that form a dramatic wall of ice and rock visible from across central Nepal. Despite the spectacular scenery, the region receives very few trekkers, making it one of the most rewarding offbeat treks accessible from the capital.

The trail winds through Tamang villages where traditional stone houses with carved wooden windows line narrow lanes. You walk through terraced fields of rice and millet, through forests of sal, rhododendron, and bamboo, and up to viewpoints where the entire Ganesh Himal range and neighboring Langtang and Manaslu peaks spread across the horizon.
