A journey to Ganesh Himal Sing La pass trek is just more than trekking. The trip started after the 4 hrs drive to Trisuli and one more hrs drive to Valche village. The overland trip is a very scenic and smooth drive, however, the road conditions can be poor due to the monsoon in Nepal.

Ganesh Himal Sing La pass (4,050 m./13,285 ft.), is the shortest and closest trekking from the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. It is a small loop trek around the Ganesh Himal region and stops overnight in a basic homestay with locals. The trek offers abundant flora and fauna, dramatic landscapes, and mesmerizing mountain vistas including Ganesh Himal, Shringi Himal, Manaslu region in the south, Langtang panorama as well as part of the Annapurna range. Explore the welcoming village people of Tamang, Gurung, Blacksmith, and Chetri with their customs and traditions. This is a garden of Orchids, rhododendrons, jasmines, and other wild floras that are most commonly seen in this region. Every day, you will experience the different scenery with fluttering prayer flags, Mani Wall, Chorten, and chirping birds. Nepal experiences four different seasons (September-November) Autumn, (December-February) Winter, (March-May) Spring, and (June-August) Summer-Rainy season. This low-altitude trek can be done all around the year but Spring and Autumn are highly recommended. Singla Pass trek is also possible to do in a very basic tea house but camping is highly recommended.
