The Ruby Valley trek is a newly opened trekking route in the Ganesh Himal region of Nepal. This trek takes you through lush forests, alpine meadows, and charming Nepali villages, with stunning views of the Ganesh and Langtang Himalayan ranges. It provides breathtaking views of the mesmerizing Ganesh Himal mountain range, including Ganesh I (7429 m.), II (7118 m.), III (7110 m.), and Manaslu (8163 m.), as well as other smaller mountains. The trek offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse cultures and traditions of the multi-ethnic people living in the region. The trek is organized by experienced guides who are familiar with the area’s terrain and culture. The Ruby Valley Trekking can be divided into two parts: the stunning panoramic views of the Ganesh Himal and Manaslu ranges, and the observation of the unique lifestyle and culture of the Tamang, Gurung, and other ethnic tribes. Additionally, trekkers can witness the twin cascades of Ganga and Jamuna, which are a highlight of the trek.
The trek is ideal for those who want to experience the unspoiled natural beauty of the Himalayas, along with the unique culture and hospitality of the local people.

Itinerary
Upon your arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, you will be greeted by a member of our team who will take you to your accommodation. In the evening, you will receive a briefing about the Ruby Valley Trek and enjoy a welcome dinner where you can taste local cuisine.
We will start our journey by driving to Syabrubeshi, which is the gateway to Langtang Valley. The drive from Kathmandu follows the Trishuli River, Ramchhe Gaon, and Dhunche Bazaar, offering mesmerizing views of the Ganesh Himal, terraced fields, and vibrant villages. We will stay overnight at a local guesthouse in Syabrubeshi to rest for the following day’s trek.
Today’s trekking journey will take us to Gatlang, a small Tamang village. The trek begins on a scenic winding path to Bahun Dada Pass, where we will pause for lunch before making our way down to Gatlang. Explore the village and get a glimpse into the Tamang culture. We will stay overnight at a local guesthouse in Gatlang.
We will hike to Parvati Kunda today, a stunning alpine lake with religious significance for Hindus. The trek passes through lush pine and rhododendron forests, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. After reaching Somdang Valley, we will explore an old, abandoned mine and spend the night at a local guesthouse.
We will hike to Pangsang Pass, one of the main highlights of the Ruby Valley Trek. This lesser-trodden route offers an authentic trekking experience with fewer homestays than other popular routes. After reaching Laptung village, we will continue our journey to Tipling and stay overnight at a local guesthouse.
Today’s journey takes us to Chalise Gaon, where we will explore the quaint Shertung village and the sprawling Chalise Gaon. From tranquil meadows to lush valleys, these two settlements offer much to explore and enjoy. We will spend the night at a cozy local lodge.
After a delightful breakfast, we’ll be hiking toward Borang village and descend to Lishne Khola. After Borang, we’ll head downwards to Percho and keep trekking until we reach the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge offers stunning views of AnkhuKhola and Chyamchyat. After crossing the bridge, you will come across DarkhaGaon, a village home to various ethnic groups, including the Brahmin and Tamang. Accommodations for the night are in one of the local lodges in DarkhaGaon.
Today marks the final leg of our journey. We will take a 45-minute hike to Darkha Phedi after a nourishing breakfast. We will then take a three to four-hour rocky, winding drive in a Private car through Ankhu Khola, Katunje, Jyamrung, and Kimdangphedi villages to Dhading Besi.
After refueling on delicious bites in Dhading Besi, we’ll embark on the bus journey to Kathmandu! After arriving in Kathmandu, if you wish, we can organize a Kathmandu sightseeing extravaganza!
Before you wrap up your trip, we suggest you make a trip from Kathmandu to take in the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the incredible culture.
Finally, it’s the final day of Ruby Valley Trek and time to say goodbye. Himalayan Marvel Adventures personnel will wait to pick you up at the hotel and drop you off at Tribhuvan International Airport three hours before your flight, wishing you a farewell. On your journey home, you will have plenty of time to dream up your next expedition to the great nation of Nepal.
