Description

On this magnificent 17 day trekking expedition, I would like to guide around the Ganesh Himal mountain range.

Full of amazing peaks, including Yangra (7,422m), Pabil (7,104m), Salasungo (7,043m), and many more, this area is absolutely breathtaking. And on this trek, anytime you look up, you will be able to gaze at a number of these incredible peaks.

Along with the stunning peaks, you will also get to visit a number of  wonderful local Nepalese villages. And because many of the villages you will see on this trek are located close to the Tibetan border, much of the culture you will get to immerse yourself in is distinctively Tibetan influenced.

Some examples of the villages we will visit, and spend the night in, during this trek through the Ganesh Himal range include the following.

  • Borang

  • Chalish

  • Sertung

  • Tipling

  • Gatlang

  • Syabru Bensi

Every village offers its own unique experience. In some of the villages you will get to visit natural hot springs, monasteries, yak farms, valleys, mines and much more. Furthermore, the views you will get from each village are nothing short of incredible. Whether it’s during sunrise or sunset, gazing at amazing mountains like Manaslu (8,156m) or other peaks in Annapurna is something you will remember for the rest of your life.

A wonder of exploration, this 17 day trek through the Ganesh Himal range is incredible. You will doubtlessly end the trip a much different person than you were when you began. The views and cultural influence is that amazing. To find out for yourself, just send me a request.

Would you like to explore the area around the great Manaslu mountain? Then come and join me on this 17 day trekking expedition.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
