The Ganesh Himal can be viewed from the north of Kathmandu city. The name for Ganesh Himal is taken from the Hindu god ‘Ganesh’, whose head looks like that of elephant. In fact, the south face of Ganesh Himal is more or less shaped with an elephant’s trunk. The Ganesh Range Peaks (Ganesh I, Ganesh II, Ganesh III, Ganesh IV) stand out like crystal, that is the "Great Himalayan Chain" forming the skyline. This great Himalayan massif is lies between the valley of the Buri Gandaki in the west and Bhote Koshi in the east, which becomes Trishuli Khola in the lower section. This peak ranges the height of 7,422m (24,350 ft) from the sea level.

The trekking route passes through quite Tamang villages, hot spas, gorges and glaciers, the black and white lakes, the waterfalls- Ganga and Jamuna, an amazing array of beautiful peaks and mountains and magnificent sceneries.
