Mount Ganesh Himal I stand at height of 7,429 metre known as Yangra Kangri is the highest peak which is a subrange of the Himalayan mountain range mostly in north-central Nepal but some peaks lie on the border with Tibet. The Trisuli Gandaki valley on the east separates it from the Langtang Himal, the Budhi (Buri) Gandaki valley and the Shyar Khola valley on the west separate it from the Sringi Himal and the Mansiri Himal (home of Manaslu, the nearest 8000 metre peak).

The name for the range comes from the Hindu deity Ganesha, usually depicted in the form of an elephant. In fact, the south face of Pabil (Ganesh IV) slightly resembles an elephant with a ridge that is reminiscent of an elephant's trunk. Names and elevations for this mountain range differ from source to source. The least ambiguous way to refer to the different peaks would be "Ganesh NW" etc., but this is not the standard practice in the literature for this range. First ascent of Ganesh Himal I happened on October 6th, 1955 by Swiss team, famous guide Raymond Lambert, Pierre Vittoz, Eric Gauchar, French Mme and Claude Kogan.
