Ganga Jamuna Short Camping Trip  is ideal for those desirous of some moderate trekking whilst encompassing a good mix of local culture and nature. This Trek is located in the Northern Dhading of Nepal in the Manaslu region. Dhading’s main river is Trishuli along with the Netrawati River (Ankhu Khola) and it is the only district of Nepal that ranges from the mountain (Ganesh Himal) to Terai (Chure Range). Dhading is bounded by Kathmandu,  Rasuwa, and  Nuwakot in the east, Rasuwa, and Tibet in the north, Makwanpur and  Chitwan in the north, and the western border with Gorkha is bisected by the Budhigandaki River, one of the prettiest rivers of Nepal. Ganga Jamuna Trekking is one of the best treks in central Nepal on the hidden valley trail. This trek offers an authentic experience of Tamang and Gurung villages and beautiful farm terraces.

Ganga Jamuna is considered a holy site of Hindus and Buddhists. Religious fairs are observed three days before the full moon in the first week of November around the famous Tripura Sundari temple, making it a center point of attraction. Ideal trekking periods in this area are during the spring and autumn months in Nepal. During the Ganga Jamuna Short Camping Trek, we visit a very popular twin waterfall known as the Ganga Jamuna falls. The twin waterfall is situated in the Phulkharka Village.

Diversity of Ganga Jamuna Trail

Settlements of different Nepali ethnic groups including Newar, Gurung, Brahmin, and Chhetri can be found here. Splendid views of various mountain ranges can be seen, such as Langtang, Ganesh Himal, Shringi Himal, Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Himalchuli, Annapurna, and more.

This trail offers you a visit to Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage sites too. The renowned Tripura Sundari Temple lies at Salyankot where there is held a major fair occasionally. Hindu aficionados offer exceptional prayers and animal sacrifices to the god. But these Buddhist cloisters and Chortens protect particular cultures and customs in themselves. One more fascination of this trek is that you visit Ganga Jamuna which is a twin cascade. There is a Kukur Dhara (Dog Spring) and it is accepted that taking a dip into this will free you from rabies. Ganga Jamuna is a Hindu journey site where a well-known fair is held around the temple before three days of full moon day during the principal seven-day stretch of November. Here is a heavenly stone that is profoundly venerated by Hindu aficionados and nearby individuals.

Traveling Solo? Know about Single Supplementary Cost

Lets Trek Himalayas will charge a single supplement cost to clients who are traveling alone and want a room to themselves. Its purpose is to pay for the additional space that is not being shared with anyone else. Depending on the trip package, the kind of hotel, and the services being reserved, the single supplement's cost may fluctuate.

Single supplement costs can be quite significant, with some tour operators charging as much as 50-100% more for a single occupancy room. This can make it difficult for solo travelers to afford to take a trip.

Lets Trek Himalayas will offer a reduced single supplement or even waive it together during periods when we have lower occupancy rates. We specialize in serving solo travelers and offer affordable rates for single-occupancy rooms.
