Ganesh Himal Expedition (7429m)

34 Days Autumn, Spring & Summer Nepal

Description:

Ganesh Himal, 7429m located 70km north-west of Kathmandu is a subrange of the Himalayas in North Central Nepal extended in four districts namely: Dhading, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Gorkha. It is separated from the Langtang Himal by the Trishuli Gandaki valley on the east whereas Budhi Gandaki Valley and Shyar Khola Valley separate it from the Shringi valley and Mansiri Himal on the west side. The Ganesh Himal Region resides between the two popular destinations Langtang National Park and the Manaslu Conservation Area. Offering some exotic views of the mountain ranges, valleys, and waterfalls as well as showering the hospitality of the diverse cultured people living here, the Ganesh Himal region is one destination that the adventure lovers need to plan a visit to.

The range actually consists of four significant peaks over 7000m out of which Yangra (Ganesh I) is the highest with 7422m followed by Ganesh II at 7118m and Ganesh III or Salasungo at 7104m and finally Ganesh IV or Pabil at 7043m. The Peak was named after a Hindu Deity Ganesh, depicted in the form of an elephant. The south face of Pabil (Ganesh IV) looks like an elephant with its ridge looking like a trunk.

The First ascent to Ganesh Himal was made on the 6^th of October 1955 by Swiss Expedition team including Raymond Lambert, Pierre Vittoz, Eric Gauchar and French Mme. Claude Kogan.
