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.
