The high valleys, north of the Ganesh Himal range on the Tibetan border are the complete wilderness and away from much of the trekkers.
We have newly introduced this trek and all of our clients are lucky enough to obtain the permission to enter this beautiful area. The trail starts from Trishuli following the upper valley landscapes. You will be witnessing the panoramic views of many majestic mountains, not tiring to see the smiling faces of native people from the villages and sometimes walking by the bank of rivers in continuation of the trail. You will have the opportunities to visit the inhabitants of these areas, who live in flat roofed fortress-like village in this remote village. The journey around these legendry mountains is among the most enjoyable though it is too tough.
This is one of the legendry “Hidden Valleys" of the Himalayas, guarded by 3 tiered pagoda set on a rocky steep sided gorge to pine forest and alpine meadows leading to a huge glacier below the snow capped peaks. The trail ends at Syabrubesi and the following day we drive back to Kathmandu.
