Ganesh Himal Region falls in the Dhading district, adjoining the capital city of Kathmandu. The region is comparatively less trekked in comparison to popular trekking regions like Everest and Annapurna, but it provides a majestic view of the Ganesh Himal Massif, a rich cultural experience for different ethnic groups, and a memorable trekking experience.  The region was previously a restricted zone and was only opened for trekking in 1992. So far, the region is largely unexploited, and there are few trekking and expedition teams that come to the region. Due to this, the region is not as heavily commercialized as other regions of Nepal.

As the name suggests, the Ganesh Himal Range lies in the foothills of the Ganesh Himal, which houses a cluster of over 20 beautiful peaks. The trekking trail will reward you with the most scenic and panoramic views of the  Ganesh I (7406m), Langtang (7300m), Fishtail (6990m), Manaslu (8163m), Lamjung (6800m), Annapurna (8,091m), Ganesh 2, Ganesh 3, Ganesh 4, Himchuli Peak, and Boudha, among other stunning satellites. The region is characterized by a very rich ecosystem and houses an extensive variety of flora and fauna. There are over 300 species of birds and over 526 species of plants, such as wild berries, blue pines, and varieties of rhododendron flowers. The region is also home to some exotic animals, like the Himalayan thar and the snow leopard. One of the major attractions of trekking in this region is the exploration of twin waterfalls named Ganga Jamuna. These waterfalls are also of great religious importance to Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. The region is also home to the famous temple of Tripura Sundari, which holds its annual fair in November and witnesses thousands of devotees flocking to the region. The highest points for trekking in the Ganesh Himal region are Pansang La Pass at an elevation of 4,100m and Shingla Pass at an elevation of 4,200 m.

While trekking the region, you will get the perfect opportunity to explore the wealth of rich Nepali culture and tradition belonging to both Hindu and Buddhist religions. The predominant natives of the region are Gurung, Tamang, Magars, and Newars, who are all very famous for their rich culture and heritage. You can also experience homestay facilities that will help you experience the culture, lifestyle, food, and customs of these ethnic groups firsthand. It is one of the three legendary “Hidden Valleys” of the Himalayas, guarded by a beautiful three-tiered pagoda set on very rocky, steep-sided gorges to pine forests and alpine meadows, taking to the huge glacier below the lofty peaks. The trial will end at Syabrubensi and return to Kathmandu. Since the trek routes are newly opened, the region is an off-the-beaten-beaten affair. Trekking in the region can be organized on both a lodge-based and full board camping basis. There are many amazing trekking routes offered in the region, such as the Ganga Jamuna Trek, the Ruby Valley Trek, and the Ganesh Himal Base Camp Trek, to name a few.
