Although near to both Kathmandu and Pokhara, the Ganesh Himal Region has remained a well-kept secret to all but Nepal’s most avid trekkers. The unexplored area is concealed between the popular destinations of Langtang National Park and the Manaslu Conservation Area Project.
Wildflowers flourish, and waterfalls embellish the lush hill scenery in a land blessed with wide ranging geographical, cultural and biological diversity. Sensational viewpoints feature the sublime Himalaya to the north. Most prominent is the Ganesh Himal Range — a family of peaks among the most attractive of the entire Himalaya. The Ganesh massif is named in honor of Hindu deity Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati. The Ganesh Himal area has some excellent viewpoints that offer magnificent views of peaks and valleys. Most rewarding are the magnificent Ganga Jamuna — twin waterfalls — Kalo, Seto and Ganesh kunda, hot spring and Tripurasundari temple and especially the hospitable people that inhabit the region.
The Ganesh Himal Region lies in Dhading, Gorkha, Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts. The area is populated mainly by Tamang Gurung and Ghale to the north, and Bramhin, Chhetri, Dalit, Newar and Chepang at the lower elevations in the south. Visitors are warmly welcomed by all with a friendliness that makes Nepal legendary. At least 10 separate trekking itineraries are recommended and await travelers promising unforgettable adventures.
Government registered trekking agencies will be happy to set up visitors with a guide and all necessities for exploring this captivating, undiscovered region. The area is easily accessed by the Prithvi Highway and Pasang Lhamu Highway along the southern fringes, connecting Kathmandu and Pokhara. Another adventurous option is to hike in from the Tamang Heritage Trail of Rasuwa and follow the Ruby Trek, so named for the precious stones found in the Area, as well as Bhalche in Nuwakot, Gorkha and Dhading Besi.

Shertung is inhabited mainly by Tamang. The name Shertung means ‘place of gold’. According to a legend, two brothers in search of gold were led here by a dream and thus the settlement was born. Tamang people here perform shaman dance and horse dance, which are believed to have been inspired from Tibetan culture. The Jhankri (shaman) tradition is popular in this area with the worship of natural forces and indigenous local deities interwoven with Hindu and Buddhist practices. Chalish is inhabited primarily by Gurung, Ghale and Kami. The hospitable people of this area have unique customs and craftsmanship and traditional dances, including a hospitable welcome dance and Ghatu Dance. Dohori is also popular with call and response between male and female participants, a type of courtship ritual, complemented by folk music. Some dances depend on the time of year and take place during festivals including the Maruni Dance during Dashain and Tihar, Hai Nelo Dance of Tihar, and the Ghatu (Ghasiri Dance) that occurs during Chandi Purnima in the Nepali month of Chaitra.

Annapurna is the most popular trekking region of Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a moderate type of trek that suits to all the experienced and inexperienced trekkers. Annapurna base camp trek is the best way to experience smooth trek that is most of the easy hikes and is a worthwhile exploration to the immensely beautiful landscape surrounded by the magnificent peaks Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Machapuchhre (6993 m) and Hiunchuli (6441).
Difficulty Level EBC vs ABC
As daunting as the name may sound, the Everest Base Camp Trek is not a difficult trek, with a little bit of preparation and determination almost anyone can succeed the trek. People of all ages, shapes, and sizes have completed the trek over the years. Everest Base Camp trek requires no climbing expertise and there is certainly no technical expertise or mountaineering skills required whatsoever as it is basically a long hike at high altitude. Despite being non-technical and entirely achievable for anyone with some basic fitness, there are still some considerations that need to be taken into account before you set out on your own Everest Base Camp Trek, such as altitude, length, and training that will enable you to better understand what you are getting yourself into before deciding.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a comparatively easy trek that can be done throughout the year. The trek is a moderate which welcomes both the novice as well as the experienced trekkers. Unlike other treks, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek doesn’t require any high-level physical fitness level. So, anyone with a stable health condition can enjoy this trek. This trek is utterly amazing and comparatively easy in terms of the altitude.
Comparatively Everest Base Camp trek is more challenging than ABC.
Fitness Level EBC vs ABC
Taking about the fitness level, you should be reasonably fit to go in both of the Trek. And by reasonably fit, it doesn’t mean to be like some ultra-athletic who takes part in the Olympics.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek falls on the moderate scale of trekking difficulty. It doesn’t require you to have any kind of alpine trekking experience or technical mountain climbing experience. Even if you don’t do regular exercises, if you can walk like 4 to 6 hours a day taking enough breaks in between, you are reasonably fit.
The most difficult and underestimated aspect of the EBC trek is the altitude. The high altitude profile of the trek certainly makes the trek more difficult as compared to ABC. In fact, if it were not for the altitude, the EBC trek would be very basic indeed. Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) should not be taken lightly nor underestimated, especially at the altitudes reached on the EBC trek. The key to high altitude trekking is to go slow.
Are you looking to trek in Nepal but can’t leave your kid behind? Are you a kind of parent who wants to break the stereotype and let your kids come along with you for the adventure in Nepal?

However, you have to choose the trek destination wisely and we’ll help you with that. Nepal has to offer a lot of trekking destinations for kids. Let your kid experience the beauty of the mountain, learn while they travel and grow. Sometimes traveling can teach more than studying can. Remember it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. Traveling with kids is the most effective and fun way to form a bond with your kids. We understand that along with traveling you ought to take care of your kid’s safety side by side and sometimes trekking with kids is not so easy. Let us help you plan the trek with your kids filled with adventure yet safe.

Our main concern and first priority are to make your trip cheery, inspiring and safe. If you want to create pleasant memories with your lovely children, let Treks Planner Nepal help you choose the perfect destination to trek with your children.
ALTITUDE Kids are more responsive to altitude sickness than adults. Also, the symptoms are more difficult to recognize in children, and you could have a life-threatening condition on your hands. To avoid the altitude sickness is to remain at a lower altitude, or go very slowly and allow plenty of time for acclimatization. Keeping that in mind it is wise to avoid high altitude trekking destination.
DISTANCE Many of the popular treks in Nepal are time-consuming. Do not choose more than 10-day treks. 10 days trek is already a long time to be trekking for a child. When you add the need to slowly acclimatize to the altitude, the trek will be even longer. The goal is to trek short distance, slow and acclimatize adequately.
PREPARATION IS THE KEY The trekking really can be as easy or as challenging as you want it to be, depending on your walking pace. Prepare yourself well before coming to the trek. Exercise often and you need to be fit and in good health. Take the stairs instead of lift as it would be very helpful for your upcoming trek.
POTER TO CARRY YOUR KID You can hire a porter to carry your kids. If you expect your kids to be carried all the time, we suggest you bring a baby carrier along with you. If you expect your kids to walk as well as and a bit of being carried, then it would be a wise decision to bring the carrier from home. Your porter will be much more comfortable with a child in a baby carrier.
There are several trekking packages suitable to trek with your kids. But, you need to be alert in some situations. The altitude could be a great deal. If you have kids below 10 years old, you can select the lower altitude treks. Check out some best trekking destinations to trek with your kid:
Annapurna Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek Ghorepani Poon Hill is the most suitable option to trek in Nepal with your kids. This trek in the lower region of Annapurna with a maximum elevation of 3,210m and therefore the minimum risk of altitude sickness is brilliant for your little explorers.

AUTUMN (Sept – Nov): Autumn season is considered one of the best seasons for trekking in Nepal. This season offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain views. Moderate temperatures, clear sky with outstanding views, mild wind, and low precipitation makes an autumn season wonderful trekking time of the year.
WINTER (Dec – Feb): Winter treks in Nepal are not as popular as spring or Autumn treks. The Himalayas can be extremely cold during the winter. This season is off a season in Nepal and occasional snowfalls at higher elevations in the Himalayas. Though it gets colder in the night, the day offers a clear blue sky and comparatively few trekkers on the trail. The winter season has its own perk, the accommodation is easier to find and cheaper too as there are off-season discounts. Further, the views of the mountains during the winter season are the best amongst all seasons.
SPRING (March-May): Spring is also considered second best season to trek in Nepal after autumn. In this season, the temperature is mild, the rainfall is low and the trekking conditions are perfect. Different varieties of wildflowers, especially the rhododendrons make the hillside a haunting paradise during this spring season. It is mildly warm at lower elevations and at higher elevation the mountain views are excellent and the temperature is quite moderate.
Summer (Jun-Aug): Summer trek makes travel wet and warm. Summer is the month of the hottest temperature and therefore has the most pleasant trekking conditions. But the monsoon that coincides with the summer means that you have to be more careful with your preparation as the trekking trails might be wet and slippery. These times are blessed for the keen botanist as the higher valleys and meadows blossom with flowers and lush vegetation.
This time when you come to Nepal to trek, bring your kid along with you and rather than telling them your stories, let them witness it and make their own.
