Trip Introduction

Ganesh Himal Base Camp and Ruby Valley Trek are some of the trekking trails of Nepal which were recently added and go in the midst of Langtang National Park and Manaslu Conservation Area. Named after valuable Gem Ruby, this trial has a lot to offer to the adventurers from its wonderful mountain views to amazing meadows, holy lakes, great landscape, waterfalls, high passes, and culture of various ethnic groups. The main ethnic groups are Gurung, Tamang, Magar, and Dalit. This trek is best for the individuals who like to travel in the very less touristic region to experience authentic local culture, remain at the home, and interact with local people living here. You get to experience something that is worth remembering as this region is home to hundreds of species of precious medicinal herbs, colorful wildflowers, and more than 200 species of birds.

Our journey to Ganesh Himal Region starts with a long drive to Syabrubesi, passing lovely villages including Ghatlang, Somdam, Tipling, Shertung, Chalis Goan. Appreciating the incredible views of waterfalls, rhododendron and juniper forests, and lush vegetation, you will also get the golden opportunity to speculate the sight of the magnificent Ganesh Himal. Kalo and Seto Kunda lakes are also worth visiting on this trek.
