There are three major
groups of peaks between Kathmandu and Pokhara such
as Ganesh Himal, Langtang and Manaslu including Annapurna
range. This trek is ideal for those wanting to escape
from the more popular regions of Annapurna and Everest.
It is famous for unspoiled Tamang culture, spectacular
views of mountains and colorful rhododendron forest.
It also begins conveniently close to Kathmandu. A
trip to the Ganesh Himal, offers to observe the different
ways of life culture, direct contact with rural people
in the small villages, flora, fauna, mountains, lust
forest, river gorges and different landscapes. During
the period of your trek you will see the method of
living of those rural people in Nepal. Milestone and
a kind of wooden machine for hustling rice millet
and corn are the significant glamour of the village.
You will cross through the 4400m high Sing-La pass
offers an excellent view of the massif Ganesh Himal,
Langtang Himal, Mt. Manaslu and Annapurna etc. No
more tourists are the peculiarity of this region.
It might be possible you can't see any foreigner even
any modern Nepalese other than local people. You will
see 65 percent people are Tamang (semi Mongolian)
and rests of them are others. This is why the Ganesh
Himal Trekking is known as Tamang cultural Tour.
