Ganesh NW

Ganesh NW rises 7,118 meters above sea level, presenting steep rock faces and glaciated slopes between the Budhi Gandaki and Trisuli Gandaki valleys.

The mountain remained unclimbed until October 16, 1981, when two separate teams, German-Sherpa and Japanese-Sherpa, reached the summit on the same day.

The mountain belongs to the Ganesh Himal range, named after the Hindu deity Ganesha, and local communities maintain traditional practices in surrounding valleys.

Expeditions to Ganesh NW require technical climbing skills across mixed terrain of rock, snow, and ice, with base camps established in the Gorkha region.

The mountain rises dramatically from the surrounding landscape, gaining 5,800 meters in elevation over just 16 kilometers of horizontal distance.
