Highlights
21d Ganesh Himal Trekking
Ganesh Himal in central Nepal is less popular. It’s northwest of Kathmandu and known for its terraced hillsides. However, many ethnic groups and a diversified lifestyle show Nepali life. Thus, this allows visitors to experience Nepal’s rich culture and interact with people. Similarly, the area’s various vegetation and animals live there like 526 plants (including 40 orchids) and 300 birds. As well as, there are also Himalayan Thar, Gaur, monkeys, and Musk Deer.
The hike has some great vistas like, Singala pass, Pangsang Bhanjyang, Jaisal Kunda, and Jyamrung. Therefore, these places offer views of 40 mountains above 6000m (19’680ft). After a 5-hour trip from Kathmandu, our trek begins in Betrawati. Then we see gorgeous villages and the countryside. Singalala has excellent mountain views. From here, we descend to Arughat and catch a bus to Kathmandu. Trekkers walk at their own pace with a daypack. Daily trekking averages 6-7 hours.
