This trek is one of the most spectacular treks in the Ganesh Himal region of the Himalayas and although it isn’t the toughest trek in Nepal. This Trek takes place well away from commercial trekking routes, between the Langtang and Ganesh regions. It’s unlikely you’ll run into other trekkers, apart from your group- so this area remains a beautiful environment of pristine forests, small traditional villages and striking Mountain Vistas. The route mainly follows the ridgelines of the Ganesh Himal- so in good weather, there will be panoramic views of the region both while walking and from the campsites.
The See Nepal Trekking is 16 days in Total. The eight days trek is one of the most spectacular treks in the Ganesh Himal & Langtang region of the Himalayas.
