    40 Days
  • Altitude
    7429m

At Kathmandu’s immediate northwest and visible from the city on a clear day lies Ganesh Himal, a picturesque mountain range dominating the skyline between the Budhi Gandaki and Trisuli Gandaki valleys. Three prominent peaks within this range are Ganesh I, II, and the 8000 meter behemoth Mt. Manaslu. The trail to base camp takes us along the Manaslu circuit trek via Arughat, tracing up the valley through terraced fields and charming rural settlements to Phedi. Our base camp will be established in the icy valley below the ring of peaks formed by Ganesh I, II, III and IV. We’ll set up three additional camps during our relatively straightforward ascent along the northwest ridge. A steep and challenging climb, we’ll leave our gear at high camp and make an alpine style push to the 7429 meter summit.
