TRIP OVERVIEW

Join the trek that started it all and get ready for the trip of a lifetime. Travel through time to remote villages in the high mountain areas of Nepal. Ruby Valley, also known as the “Land of Waterfalls” will take you back centuries into the heart of primitive self-sufficient living. This trek gives every adventure seeker the opportunity to truly feel what it is like to live a high-altitude ultralight (HAU) lifestyle as we connect with the mountain people of Nepal. Come and experience true remote homestead trekking. Trek, stay, eat, and connect with the Gurung and Tamang people, and build friendships that will last a lifetime. We look forward to experiencing this trek with you. 

This route is a newly opened trekking trail that provides an excellent opportunity to walk through Gurung and Tamang villages and high passes (such as Pangsang pass and Singla pass). There are also many opportunities to spend time with local people. There are both homestead and camping trek options available on this trekking route as per your trek duration and budget. Ganesh Himal on the northwest side of Kathmandu is the main target of our trek. 

Ruby valley is in the category of the moderate route. This route is favorable in the month of February, March, April, September, October, and November. We provide professional, expert guides.
