Ganesh Himal Singla Pass Trek (4200m) offers an extraordinary panorama of the Ganesh Himal Massif, Manaslu and the Langtang range, highlights of this journey include not only the mountain views but abundant flora and fauna, magnificent village scenery and the welcoming people of this mid-hills with their captivating customs and traditions. The best seasons to visit are September to November as well as February through June and even outside of these times the spectacular attractions and relatively low elevation make it an all-season adventure. The trail begins from Kathmandu and follows the same road route to Bhalche a town on the border between Nuwakot district to the south and Rasuwa district to the north. Bhalche is about 30 Km north of the large bazaar town of Trishuli.

Itinerary

01 DAY

Arrival in Kathmandu (1400m)

Welcome to the Himalayas! We will be waiting for your arrival at Kathmandu airport terminal. Our airport representative will be holding a company name card (Glorious Himalaya) outside the airport terminal to receive you. You will then be transferred to your respective hotel via a private vehicle (car/ jeep/ van/ bus: depending upon the size of the group). After check-in and some refreshments, you can either rest or stroll down the street of Thamel and familiarize yourself with the neighborhood. In the evening you will meet our office representative for a briefing about our upcoming trip. You will also be invited to a welcome dinner organized by our company which will include a typical Nepali cuisine and a cultural dance. It’s probably your first night in Nepal in the Himalayan nation. Overnight at the hotel inclusive of breakfast.

02 DAY

Drive to Bhalche (1850m) - 7 hrs drive

After hearty breakfast early morning, we take a private four-wheel vehicle or a local bus early in the morning and advance our journey towards Bhalche Gaon. We exit Kathmandu from Thankot, and pass through Trisuli Bazaar and Betrawati, making a scenic drive along a narrow zig-zag road amid an amazing landscape. We will have our lunch along the way at a local hotel and then continue our journey. After driving approximately 5-6 hours from Kathmandu, we finally reach today’s destination Bhalche. Bhalche is also the gateway to Langtang Valley. We will even be able to start our trek on the same day, but after a rough and long drive, spending a night in Bhalche will give us a perfect acclimatization day. We will set up our camp at Bhalche and enjoy a delicious meal.

03 DAY

Trek to Rupchet (3850m) - 6 hrs walk

After having a delightful breakfast prepared by our staff, we make a good start of our trek by heading towards Rupchet. The initial part of the trail is a bit uphill with mesmerizing views of Bhalche village on the backdrop. The trail further passes through a high tropical jungle with breathtaking views surrounded by fascinating landscapes. We arrive at Thulo Kharka and stop for lunch. After some minutes of rest, we march further towards beautiful Yak huts and campsite of Rupchet where we get to enjoy spellbinding hillside views and secretive periphery views. Overnight at tented camp with full board meals.

04 DAY

Trek via Singla Pass (4,200m) to Chalish Gaon (1875m) - 6/7 hrs walk

Today is a bit challenging part of our overall trek. After a hot breakfast prepared by our staff, we set off for Singla Pass (4200m), climbing all the way to the top of the hill. From the top, we get to enjoy the panoramic mountain views of Ganesh Himal ranges, Langtang ranges, and a part of Annapurna Ranges. After capturing some captivating views, we’ll descend all down to Shertung gaon through the high tropical jungle of Himalayan pine forest, rhododendron forest, Oak, and Himalayan Bamboo, while enjoying the amazing wildlife experience. We will also pass many Kharkas (sheep, goat & cow huts). The stunning landscape and Lijyang waterfall are a mesmerizing view of the day. On the way, we’ll give a quick visit to Phyanchyat Gumba (Monastery) before finally arriving at Shertung village. Shertung is a large village inhabited mainly by Tamang. The name Shertung signifies “A place of Gold”. Legend holds that the settlement was born after two brothers in search of gold were led here by a dream. Tamang people have their own rich culture to demonstrate to the visitors, namely Jhankri dance (shaman dance) and Gode dance (horse dance), said to have been inherited from Tibetan culture long ago. Practicing Jhankri (Shaman) activity is popular in this region which worships the natural forces and indigenous local deities interwoven with Buddhist and Hindu practices. We’ll spend overnight at tented camp with full board meals. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)

05 DAY

Trek to Neber Gaon (2020m) - 5 hrs walk

After breakfast, we’ll continue our journey walking 30 minutes downhill to Chalish, which is the most splendid hospitality village in the region. Populated mostly by Gurungs, the area is also inhabited by a small portion of Dalit people living together. Our trek further continues to Tatopani (hot springs) where we enjoy half of the day taking bath and have lunch. This is perhaps the best hot springs in the region, but tourist infrastructure is not developed yet, so taking packed lunch from Chalish Village or Shertung village is much better. After lunch, we’ll trek up to the pristine Tamang settlement named Neber. Just from the side of the Neber village, you will notice the mesmerizing view of Ganesh Himal soaring right in front of you. Relish in high valley village stays with locals at their house. Overnight at tented camp with full board meals.

06 DAY

Trek to Lapa Gaon (1850m) - 5 hrs walk

After breakfast, we’ll walk about 2 hrs to reach all the way up to Timla Pass (2850m) and have a look at the majestic Ganesh Himal ranges and also the Langtang Himal ranges. The mesmerizing view of the surrounding landscape and its unique flora and fauna is truly amusing. Another charm of the trek is passing through the dense Himalayan alpine jungle. As the trek trail is not well marked in this area, trekking with an experienced local guide is highly advisable. Water is available in this area, though the tea house has not been built yet. After enjoying the silent serenity of the trek, and walking downhill on a bit slippery trail, we’ll arrive at Lapchat Gaon, a charming Gurung village with around 30 roofs. Further crossing the Lapa Khola on a bridge we will ascend along a trail surrounded by fields to the walled compound of a newly built local hospital of the large town of Lapa gaon with over 400 homes. Lapa gaon is a big settlement of Tamang people where you’ll have ample opportunities to absorb about Tamang culture. The village has at least a couple of local guest houses and villagers are initiating to build more lodge for the tourists. Simple dormitory shelter and simple food, yet good enough for a night halt. Overnight at a tented camp with full board meals.

07 DAY

Trek to Ri Gaon (1550m) - 5 hrs walk

Today is quite an easy walking day. After breakfast, we pass through Brahmin and Dalit village as well as paddy terraces, having a more wide view of the valley.

09 DAY

Trek to Jyamrung Durbar / Danda (1550m) - 6 hrs walk

Today is another interesting day of our trek. We trek to Ankhu Khola’s side and pass several villages along the way. During summer this low valley walk will be a bit hotter. We will have our lunch at Ringne river side and continue our trek uphill to Jyamrung Durbar/ Danda. Jyamrung Durbar has the historical significance where the king of the Jyamrung used to live. The remains of the centuries-old palace can still be seen. Another significance of this place is that this is the best spot for the sunrise, sunset, and the great mountain views of Manaslu ranges in the west, and Ganesh Himal and Langtang range to the east. This might also be the main reason why this place was chosen to build the palace. Overnight at tented camp with full board meals.

We can start our day with a great view of the sunrise. We are also at the end of our trek. After breakfast, we’ll walk down 3 hours to Dhading Besi, enjoying the mesmerizing surrounding views.
