Ganesh Himal

Two major rivers, the Dorandi and Buri Gandakin carve their way approximately north-south through this area. Lying to the north east of the Buri Gandakin is Ganesh Himal. Paldor, a trekking / alpine peak (5894 m) lies to the south east of Ganesh Himal leading down to the Tiru Danda Ridge.

In the spring the rhododendron forests here are a blaze of colour. It is possible to include this area with a trek across the better known areas of Langtan, Gosainkunda and the Helambu villages lying to the east of the Trisuli river. Alternatively, the Tiru ridge can be followed all the west-south to Trishuli - one of Nepal's finest ridge walks. Treks in the Ganesh Himal area usually run for between 15 and 20 days.
