Ganesh Himal Medical Trek Tour

Package Overview

Ganesh Himal region is unique trekking destination of Nepal in a sense that small number of foreigners have explored the region so far. Blended with rural life, beautiful view of the Himalayan peaks of Ganesh Himal range, walk in the deep forest of pine and rhododendron, and beautiful farm terraces this trek is without question for life time experience. Our medical trek is new product which has two ways advantages: it promotes a new tourism destination – therefore providing sustainable economic improvement in the communities you visit – and people living far off from high class medical facilities get urgently needed medical assistances. Million trekkers and visitors landed in Nepal each year to enjoy their holiday/tour but we bring together the trekking trip in the rural Nepal with medical assistance to the villagers and we are proud for what we are doing. We would not limit you only to medical practitioners, rather you can bring your friends/family members along with to assist you and enjoy the beauty of the Nepal Himalayas. During the trek you closely view the mountain peaks Ganesh Himal main also Ganesh I or Yangra Peak (7,422 m/ 24,350 ft), Ganesh II (7118 m/ 23,353 ft), Ganesh III (7,043 m/ 23,107 ft), and Ganesh IV or Pabil Peak (7,104 m/ 23.307 ft).
