Explore the hidden gem of the Ganesh Himal Region with the Ruby Valley Kalo Seto Kunda Trek, a lesser-known treasure nestled between the renowned destinations of Langtang National Park and the Manaslu Conservation Area Project. Despite its proximity to Kathmandu and Pokhara, the Ruby Valley area has remained a well-kept secret, known only to Nepal’s most passionate trekkers.
In the uncharted terrain of Ruby Valley, wildflowers bloom and cascading waterfalls adorn the lush hills, creating a landscape blessed with diverse geographical, cultural, and biological wonders. From sensational viewpoints, behold the majestic Himalayas to the north, with the prominent Ganesh Himal Range standing tall—a family of peaks revered for their breathtaking beauty. Named after the Hindu deity Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati, the Ganesh Himal area boasts magnificent vistas of peaks and valleys, including the twin waterfalls of Ganga Jamuna, Kalo Seto and Ganesh Kunda, hot springs, Tripurasundari Temple, and the warm hospitality of the local inhabitants.
Spanning across Dhading, Gorkha, Rasuwa, and Nuwakot districts, the Ganesh Himal Region is inhabited by diverse ethnic groups, including Tamang, Gurung, Ghale, Brahmin, Chhetri, Dalit, Newar, and Chepang communities. Visitors are greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness, embodying the legendary hospitality of Nepal.
