The range is about 70 km in the north – northwest of Kathmandu Valley. The highest peak in the range is Yangra or Ganesh I.
In addition to offering unparalleled views of the surrounding landscape, Ganesh Himal is also home to a diverse array of plant and animal life. Climbers from all over the world travel to this majestic peak, drawn by its reputation for testing physical endurance and mental fortitude.
