Ganesh Himal is located 70km north of Kathmandu, nearly in the center of Nepal, extending all the way to the Tibetan border. Its name is derived from the Hindu deity Genesha, which is generally depicted as a seated elephant and is the God of good fortune. Some say the southern face of Ganesh IV actually resembles an elephants head with the descending ridge reminiscent of a giant trunk. The Peaks of Ganesh 1-4 rise above everything in sight like timeless, gigantic sentinels with diamond eyes, ever watchful; this range is part of the Great Himalayan Chain. The regions boundary to the east is Trisuli Gandaki valley separating Ganesh Himal from Langtang Himal and Buri Gandaki Valley to the west separating it from Sringi and Mansiri Himal.
