Ganesh Himal Great Himalayan Chain Trek,
Named after the elephant-headed God of Good Fortune, Ganesh Himal offers spectacular views, untouched natural splendor and wild but friendly stops along the way. The Ganesh Range stands out, crystal-like, forming a "Great Himalayan Chain" across the skyline. We'll travel across Nepal's central region, passing small local villages and walking deep inside the rhododendron forests to reach the spectacular viewpoint that sits just over 4,000 meters.
