Ganesh Himal Panorama Trek

The Ganesh Himal Panorama Trek is an adventure suitable for travelers of all ages, from young to elderly. This trek is designed to avoid high altitude sickness, with gradual elevation gains that allow for daily acclimatization during scenic walks. The highest point of the journey is the Pansang Bhanjyang-La Pass, standing at 3,850 meters, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Ganesh, Manaslu, and Langtang Himal ranges, extending as far as the Annapurna range in the west.

After an enjoyable walk through tranquil surroundings, the trek leads back to farm villages, providing a contrast to the days spent in the secluded natural areas of Ganesh Himal.

Trek Overview:

Starting Point: The trek begins in Kathmandu, with an exciting drive to Nepal’s Mid-West, passing through heavily farmed regions of paddy fields and terraces. The journey continues into cooler regions, leaving villages behind and heading towards the remote corners of Ganesh Himal.

Cultural and Natural Highlights: As the trek progresses, you will visit rural farm villages of great cultural interest. The path then diverges from these villages, leading into complete wilderness and isolation, under the shadow of high snow-capped mountains. The trek traverses high hills and valleys covered in enchanting forests lined with tall rhododendron, magnolia, pines, oaks, and fir trees, including various species of medicinal plants that are nearly extinct.

Pansang Bhanjyang-La Pass: The adventure reaches its peak at the Pansang Bhanjyang-La Pass, the highest point of the journey at 3,850 meters (12,705 feet). Here, you will be rewarded with a grand panorama of dramatic landscapes and towering mountain ranges, including the Ganesh Himal group of peaks, Manaslu, and Langtang Himal. The main peak of Ganesh Himal, also known as Yangra in Tibetan, rises to 7,422 meters (24,350 feet), with three other peaks exceeding 7,000 meters, forming a massive range.

Historical Ascent: The mountain was first successfully ascended by a Franco-Swiss Expedition team via the Southeast Ridge route in 1955.

Return Journey: After reaching the highest point, the return journey is easier, with more downhill sections leading through dense forests and grazing fields to the lower, warmer farm areas of the Nuwakot district at Trisuli Bazaar. Trisuli Bazaar is a large hill town with sub-tropical temperatures, vast paddy fields, terraces, and other agricultural products, making it an interesting place to conclude the trek.

Conclusion: From Trisuli Bazaar, a short drive takes you back to the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, concluding the great adventure and mesmerizing experience of the Ganesh Himal Panorama Trek.
