A trip through enchantingly beautiful trial, Ganesh Himal Ruby Valley Trek has you walking in the shadow of several 7,000+ peaks. Sprawled across the lap of Ganesh Himal, it is the epitome of pristine natural beauty attracting numbers of travelers every years.
Ruby valley is a newly introduced trekking destination in Nepal; discovered by TAAN (Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal) and (Ganesh Himal Tourism Development Committee). The trekking trail falls on Langtang trekking route and is set amidst of Manaslu and Langtang region.
Due its relative remoteness and inaccessibility, the valley has remained intact in terms of culture and natural sceneries. You will spend overnight at homestay as there are no teahouses or lodges. It offers you the close glimpse of local culture and lifestyle. In fact, the accommodation is the best part of Ruby Valley Trail! The lack of tourism infrastructure means, lack of tourist and you get chance to engage with locals authentically and live like Nepali.
The food on Ruby Valley trail is decidedly simple and usually there are two choices: either a Daal Bhaat or noodles that are similar to ramen. If you want protein – ask for eggs, there are always fresh! We suggest you to go for Daal Bhaat as it is filly and full of healthy calories.
Apart from cultural discoveries, the trek offers stunning Himalayan vistas – Annapurna, Langtang, Ganesh Himal and Manaslu. Also you will get opportunity to explore Buddhist Monasteries and Hindu Temples, waterfalls, Lakes and forests.
