Hello...
I am looking at doing a trek in the Ganesh Himal and can't find a lot of info on what are the best times to go (we are thinking of March or April) and whether the climate will be hazy at these times. I have a 'tentative itinerary' from an agent which I can't seem to make head or tail of as I can't find any online maps. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge of trekking in this region before I head to Stanfords for a decent map?
The tentative itinerary is as follows:
Ganesh Himal Trek-18 days-(max.4500m) 14 days trekking 4 days kathmandu
A trek up the old, little–travelled trade rute on the left bank of the Trisuli River. This path runs high above the river, among terraces giving a real impression of being “away from it all”. views of Langtang (7 245 m), and Gosaikund are always eith woth us. Here we enter the world of Ganesh Himal with its multiple snow peaks, and visit the remote lake of Juke Swor Kunda. A heavily–forested area that sustains a huge vareity of fauna, including the red panda, Himalayan black bear, and , high up above the tree line, snow leopards.
Tentative Program
1. Receive at the airport and transfer to the hotel.
2. Free day in Kathmandu.
3. Kathmandu – Trisuli Bazar by bus
4. Trisuli Bazar – Jarka Kalleri (1 800m)
5. Jarka Kalleri – Danda Gaun
6. Danda Gaun – Gogane Gaun (2 000m)
7. Gogane Ganun - Hakku Gaun
8. Hakku Gaun – Nesim (2 300m)
9. Nesim – Ghatlang
10. Ghatlang – Mailung Khola (3 200 m)
11. Mailung Khola – Somthang (Khurpudanda Pass 3 739 m)
12. Somthang – Phegon (Juke Swor Kunda 4 500 m)
13. Phegon – Sathi Gaun
14. Sathi Gaun – Salmi
15. Salmi – Deurali School
16. Deurali School – Trisuli Bazar – Kathmandu by minibus
17. Free day in Kathmandu for shopping.
18. Airport transfer or own destination.
Many thanks,
canis
