In the Eastern part of Nepal the main
ridge of the Himalayas from the border
with Tibet. The Ganesh Himal is the
first massive range sharing borders with
Tibet. Therefore it cannot be done as a
circuit trek. Its proximity to the
capital and its scenic value make it
worth while trip. In spite of its
friendly foothills, cultural interests,
and majestic vistas it is an area rarely
visited.
The Ghorka Himal with Manaslu, 8156 m,
Himalchuli, 7893 m, and Ngadi Chuli,
7835 m, forms a very dominant mountain
range in central Nepal. The gorges of
the Buri Gandaki and the Marsyangdi mark
its boundaries and lead the trekker
behind the to dry valleys reminiscent of
Tibetan culture. The great mountain
forests in the high valleys are
especially worth mentioning. The
trekking circuit around the Manaslu is a
more expensive adventure that requires
hiring a liaison officer.
