Introduction
The name Ganesh Himal comes from the elephant-headed Hindu God of good fortune who is one of the most popular Hindu deities in the world.  Images of Ganesh, sitting astride a shrew (his vehicle) can be seen all over the valley of Kathmandu. Since he is also the God of Initiation and can cast aside obstacles, his help is invoked whenever a difficult task is to be undertaken. A Hindu will begin a journey, a task, a trade, or other important things in life with the words, Shree Ganeshaya Nama, or in the name of Lord Ganesh. 
 The Ganesh Himal is a quiet mountain region rarely visited by trekkers, making it possible for one to savor the real Himalaya here. A large part of this region is now part of the Tamang Heritage Trail and is included in the Langtang National Park. The Trishuli River or one of its tributaries is our reference line almost throughout our trek. The trek starts on the Trishuli River, which runs the foothills of the Ganesh Himal and Langtang Himal Ranges. Bound on the east by the Trishuli River and on the west by the Burhi Gandaki River, this region includes Ganesh Himal Peak I (7429m) to Peak VII. It is the Nepal Himalayas on a small scale. Peak I was the first to be conquered in 1955 by a Swiss-French Team, which ascended from Sang Jung Glacier at the head of the Chilime Khola. Following a long ban on climbing, Peak IV was conquered in 1978 by a Japan-Nepal team, Peak II (7111m) in 1979 by a Japan-Nepal team again and Peak III (7110m) in 1981 by a West German-Nepal team. 
Another important peak is Paldor (5928m/19450 ft) which lies at the south-east end of the Ganesh Himal marking the junction of the Tiru and Khurpu Dandas (hills) at the head of the Mailung Khola, a tributary of the Trishuli River. It was first, climbed by Bill Tilman, Peter Lloyd, Tenzing Sherpa and Da Namgyal during the monsoon of 1949 by the North-East ridge.
 On a clear day, the Ganesh Himal, with the icy fangs of Pabil (7101m / 23,300ft.), Lobsang Karpo (7150m/23,458ft),Ganesh I (7406m/24,298ft) and Ganesh IV (6950m/22,802ft.) can be seen forming an imposing backdrop to the north-west of Kathmandu.
