The Ganesh Himal Base Camp trek is categorized as a moderate-level trek. This camp is situated on the north side of the capital city Kathmandu, which is between Langtang Valley and Manaslu massif. The Ganesh Himal trek presents you with the embarrassment of flora as well as fauna that abounds in Nepal.

The trek starts from a day’s drive to Arughat Bazaar. Everyone can get a chance to see the precious stone crystal in the Ganesh Himal Region. In this trek, trekkers can see the amazing view of  Langtang, Gosai Kund, Ganesh Himal, Boudha Peak, Himal Chuli, Machhapuchre, South Annapurna, and Annapurna II.
