Ruby Valley Trek

An exciting Trekking experience

Ruby Valley Trek Nepal is one of the most popular and relatively new trekking routes in the Mid West-Central Himalayan range of Nepal. Ruby Valley Trek has gained its popularity among trekkers and explorers, mainly because the region is unexplored and less crowded compared to the popular trekking routes of Everest and Annapurna region.

The trail offers varieties of beautiful scenery of the Himalayas including Annapurna, Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu, Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples, waterfalls, ponds, and forests. Rare flora and fauna such as rhododendrons barking deer, Red pandas, snow leopard, bear, tiger, and pheasant are also found in this region. The best time to visit this area is in the spring and autumn season to see the mountains and to see the magnificent red Rhododendrons, Nepal’s national flower.
