The Ganesh Himal region is one of the hikes off the beaten track that allows you to discover the particular cultural aspect of this region. This trek is designed to introduce you to a wide range of life in different communities and the wide variety of these beautiful Nepalese landscapes. The Pansang Pass trek is a trekking route starting in the not very touristic area located between Manaslu and Langtang ranges which offers magnificent views of the Ganesh massif.
The route begins in the region of the ethnic Gurung and passes through several beautiful villages among which Laprak and Singla completely destroyed after the 2015 earthquake. The path winds its way through terraced rice paddies and dense rhododendron forests which are colorful and spectacular in the spring.
This trek is recommended by many hikers although it is not as popular as Annapurna and Everest.
If you visit this area from March to April, you will observe the mountains reddened by the magnificent rhododendron flowers. There are two possible starting points, Syabrubesi or Trishuli, and ends at Gorkha or Dhading besi. Then return to Kathmandu.
Access: After an 8/9 hour journey by bus or private jeep, we arrive at the starting point called Syabru Besi, well known also as a starting point towards Langtang.
From Syabru Besi you will discover recent and pleasant open paths towards this region of the Ganesh Himal which is also called the region of “Tamang Heritage”.

Note Important
The region of Gorkha Ganesh Himal is a circuit off the beaten track, there are very few lodges on the course which are quite rudimentary compared to those encountered at Langtang. The food menu in lodges / homestays is very limited to a few Nepalese dishes, well cooked and tasty, but not very varied. All honor, the national dish, Dal, Bhat, made from rice and lentils (particularly energetic), instant soup noodles, and sometimes, homemade pancakes (delicious). For some trekkers who do not want to eat Nepalese, it is advisable to organize this trek in a tent. Western cuisine is made by the team of cooks, with more varied menus made from good produce. In this case, the cost of the trek will be increased by including the various purchases, transport and all the logistics to be implemented, from Katmandu until the end of the circuit. In addition, it will be imperative to increase the number of porters and provide a team for the kitchen.
