Amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with Nepal Social Trek! Starting with clear communication and well-organized trip planning followed by a warm welcome, we were impressed by the great hospitality we received from everyone. The trip was a real adventure, full of happy emotions and beautiful moments shared together. Our guides, Narayan and Govinda, were extremely skilled and knowledgeable. They were not only excellent guides but also beautiful people from a human point of view. After the trek, Nepal Social Trek also arranged a guided tour of the city of Bhaktapur and its temples for us. I absolutely recommend Nepal Social Trek!

Good experience in Nepal
I did the Chisapani Nagarkot trekk. My guide Kamal was very considerate, landscapes were nice and the hotels and food were good. We also visited Bhaktapur which is nice. I recommend visting Nepal and the Nepal social company.

Langtang Valley Trek
What an epic trip! Nepal Social Treks were brilliant. Seamless organisation from start to finish. They were always friendly and responsive with communication before I came out, were helpful when it came to hiccups with my baggage. And were flexible with my tour, switching from the Tamang to the Langtang trek with no complaints. My guide - Kamal, and porter - Santa, were both excellent. Kamal was super knowledgable, trustworthy, and great company. Santa’s a legend! The accommodation & food were great. The daily trekking: incredible and just the right level of challenging. I could not recommend this trek enough if you’re after something shorter.





Nepal Social Treks were an amazing company who helped me make memories for my life on a climbing attempt of Island Peak December 2023. Even though it was in the off-season and in December, they ensured I had everything necessary to achieve my goal and enjoy my winter trek. They were also very helpful after the trek and I enjoyed my conversations in their Kathmandu office. I'd recommend my friends to go climbing with them any day.

A trip organized by Simina Cernat our guide from România with a very good collaboration with Nepal Social Trecks. This was an experience of a lifetime rafting mountains nature people… We are grateful we had Lakpa to guide us throughout the trecking. Lakpa carefully addressed all our questions and help us understand Nepali culture he was the best guide friendly, kind, patient and felt very taken care of during our 9days trek on the Annapurna Circuit. At 5000m i had a difficult moment, could hardly walk but Lakpa immediately observed that and he helped me succesfully reach to Thorong La pass. 5416m. Also the two porters Nima and Manut were very nice and helpful. The trip itself was well thought through for our needs and expectations. Thank you Lakpa and high-level
FAQs about Ganesh Himal Trek
What are the accommodations for this trek?
We will be staying in three-star hotels while we are in the city. Further, into the trek, we will be staying at camping tents. Rest assured, we have ensured top-tier security as well as comfort in any situation. The tents will be on a twin-share basis with a comfortable mattress, so there is no compromise even while we trek into more isolated areas.
Do I need any specific training before going on the Ganesh Himal Trek?
The Ganesh Himal Trek can be quite strenuous at some parts as there are some distinct uphill climbs. As such, previous trekking experience will help you navigate these trails much more easily. This trek is suitable for moderately fit people. Despite this, we will be providing a good pace as well as plenty of stops.
We do recommend some physical fitness prep before your arrival to avoid any overexertion. In case you are suffering from any pre-existing medical condition, we suggest you consult your doctor before picking this trek.
How are the electricity facilities in the Ganesh Himal Trek?
As this is not a popular trek, not all the villages will have the amenities that you may need. We recommend you carry a solar charger for your cameras and phones. If you don't have one, our team will have solar charging for emergencies.
Are there provisions for ATMs or credit cards during the trek?
There are plenty of ATM and credit card facilities available in Kathmandu. However, beyond that, when you venture into more remote villages and higher altitudes, these are going to be scarce to non-existent. We recommend you carry the necessary cash for any purchases in these areas. Additionally, we recommend that you exchange all your foreign currency into local money. As we trek into these villages, you are unlikely to find many places that accept foreign currency.
Do I need to buy travel insurance for this trek?
Yes. We recommend that you purchase insurance in your country before coming on this trek. Nepal Social Treks only covers the insurance for our staff. Please make sure that your insurance covers you for high altitude trekking.
Could I get altitude sickness on this trek?
The elevation on this trek does exceed 4000m. While the risk of altitude sickness differs from person to person, there is still a possibility. However, we have designed the itinerary to make sure you can acclimatize properly. Our guides are certified first-aid responders fully trained to take care of you. Furthermore, our first aid kit is also fully equipped to take care of you. We recommend you maintain a steady pace and keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.
Will I need a porter for this trek?
Porters are optional. If you feel like you need help carrying your bags as you want to focus on the trek and enjoying the view itself, we have them onboard our team. Typically, a porter can carry about 20kg in weight, which includes their backpack as well.
Is it safe to drink tap water during this trek?
As you know, your health and safety is our number one priority. As such, we will ensure clean drinking water throughout the trek. Bottled water is also available for purchase if you wish to carry them on the Ganesh Himal Trek.
We strongly suggest you refrain from drinking tap water as it is likely that your stomach will not have adjusted to the local water just yet. For your safety, only drink bottled water or properly filtered water. Additionally, you should consider carrying water purifying tablets for proper safety.
