Mount Ganesh Himal, a subordinate range of the Himalayan mountain range in Nepal, lies between the Budhi Gandaki and Trisuli valleys, north West of Kathmandu and western range of Langtang Himal. Some of the peaks of Ganesh Himal lie on the border with Tibet.

The peaks are without the height of more than 7429meter but Ganesh Himal is vertically located over the nearby valleys, especially Ganesh I & Ganesh II. The highest peak in Ganesh Himal is Ganesh I -7429meter which is called (Yangra). Although, the peak was first attempted by H. W. Tilman’s team back in 1950; but the first ascent was made in 1955 by a Franco-Swiss Expedition team via the south east face and ridge.

Ganesh Himal is lies in the border between Nepal and Tibet, and in southeast of mount Manaslu. The Ganesh Himal is an enormous mountain massif assembled with nine towering peaks. Its icy pinnacle is visible in the north from Katmandu as well. It was named in honor of Ganesh, a Hindu deity who is represented in mythology as having the head of an elephant and the rest of the body in human form.
