The Ganesh Himal Ruby Valley Trekking is a newly opened trekking in north-central Nepal touching four districts, Dhading, Rasuwa, Gorkha, and Nuwakot. Being a new trekking area, there are rarely fewer trekkers trekking around. The Ruby Valley trekking is the best trekking destination for those who would like to escape the bunch of touring caravans and experience the local culture and the unbelievable landscapes of nature in their pristine form.

Ruby Valley trekking begins after a 7-hour bus drive to Gatlang. The driving is very exciting through the Trisuli Village, Langtang National Park, and Syabru Bensi. There is always much more to explore in this area, but we are trying to propose some trekking routes to visit the highlights of the Ganesh Himal trek. The attraction of the Ganesh Himal Ruby Valley trek is to witness the beautiful Ganesh Himalayan ranges in the central Himalaya between the Manaslu Circuit trekking in the west and the Langtang Valley Trek in the east. The trail passes through some of the most remote villages of Nepal, such as Tipling, Jharlang, and Sertung. The majority of the people inhabiting this region are Tamangs, one of the indigenous communities of the Himalayas. Other communities they will come across are Chhetri, Gurung, and Blacksmith.

The difficulty level of this Pansang La pass at 3,900 m/12,795 ft. is the highest point of the Ruby Valley Trekking. You will have plenty of opportunities to view majestic Himalayan peaks such as Manaslu (8,156 m/26,735 ft.). Langtang and Ganesh Himalayan ranges, Paldor peak, Boudha Himal, Hinchuli, Pabil Himal, etc. outlook points along the trek. The region is also a treasure house for ecological biodiversity, ranging from rhododendron forests to hot springs, rivers, waterfalls, etc.

Explore the unexplored area of the Ruby Valley trek in the Ganesh Himal region, where you may find zinc mining, Ruby (gemstone) mines, copper mines, and valuable herbal plants. The local people are very much overwhelmed by the promotion of tourism in this area.
