Overview
Discover the hidden gems of the Ganesh Himal region on the 16-day Three Pass Three Kunda Ruby Valley Trek. This extraordinary adventure takes you through the enchanting Langtang National Park and the majestic Manaslu Conservation Area, showcasing the pristine beauty of Nepal.
While trekking the trails, you will overcome three passes: Sing La (4,050 m), Pang Sang (3,850 m), and Magne Goth (2,950 m). Although not extremely high, these passes provide stunning views of the Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu ranges, with a captivating glimpse of the Annapurna in the far distance. The trek offers a delightful combination of awe-inspiring natural beauty and significant spiritual sites.
Experience the spiritual ambiance of the Three Kundas – Kalo Kunda, Seto Kunda, and Ganesh Kunda. These holy lakes possess mystical importance, and their tranquil beauty is enhanced by the twin waterfalls of Ganga and Jamuna, providing an additional element of enchantment to your expedition.
A fascinating part of the journey is the exploration of Magne Goth, a mountain pass that leads to the revered Ganga and Jamuna. It is interesting to note that these places are named after the Hindu twin goddesses and are often connected with twin girls, which is uncommon in Nepal. The pilgrimage to the temple at Ganga and Jamuna is a major attraction for numerous devotees, particularly during the Purnima and Makar Sankranti festivals, as it is believed that wishes are granted during this time.
The Ganesh Himal region is not only a place for those seeking spiritual enlightenment, but also a place full of natural marvels. In the vicinity of Hindung village, you can observe the captivating process of mining crystals and rubies. In the mountainous areas, yarsagumba, a rare combination of caterpillar and fungus, is collected. Known for its aphrodisiac properties, yarsagumba is in high demand, particularly in Tibet.
The journey of 16 days provides a variety of experiences, including crossing Himalayan passes and enjoying breathtaking mountain views. It also allows for exploring the diverse cultural heritage of the region, which is influenced by both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The trek takes you to enchanting lakes, mesmerizing waterfalls, and the captivating allure of precious gems, making it a perfect paradise for adventurers in search of hidden gems in Nepal.
