Ganesh Himal ExpeditionMt. Ganesh Himal is one of the beautiful and Holy Mountains located at north site of Kathmandu. It is easily visible on a clear day from the Kathmandu city. The Ganesh Himal is similar in that it is near to Kathmandu but still rarely visited by tourists despite the relatively  a easy trekking destination and pristine forests and villages of the region. In Nepal there a people saying that the place where the lamp stands will always dark, the reason is Ganesh Himal.

Our 13 days trekking reaching Base Camp affords incredible nearly touchable views of Ganesh Himal 1st (7429m.), II (7150m.), and Mt. Manaslu (8163m.). The walking period is mostly through typical Nepalese villages, forests and jungles of Oak, rhododendron, Bamboo, pine and others trees field. We must across a single mountain pass (4,500m) is the highest point of the trekking, but we are well acclimatized to the altitude before we attempt it. We recommend the best season for this trip is late autumn and spring. Late March through April offers the incredible opportunity to see the forests burst into color as the six to seven rhododendron species blooming around the whole destination before get to Base Camp. This trip we start from Kathmandu, Syabrubensi by Bus then walk to Ganesh Himal ii and back to the Syabrubensi then next day take Bus to Kathmandu.
