About the package
Ruby Valley Trek is a newly introduced trekking route that covers Langtang National Park and Manaslu Conservation Area Project. The trail has gained popularity among the trekking routes of Nepal as it offers a wide range of geographical diversity. The Ruby Valley is a hidden valley between Langtang and Manaslu trails, named after the precious stone Ruby, considered home to Ruby stone mine sites. The trekking destination is close to the capital city. The trekking offers breathtaking mountain views and diverse cultural and daily lifestyles of different groups. The trek provides a unique experience of mountains, culture, and natural biodiversity. Ruby Valley Trek is best for those who like to trek in the lesser touristy area to experience authentic local culture, stay at home, and interact with locals who live in the region. The Ruby Valley Trek is a golden opportunity to explore Nepal’s geological and cultural diversity, especially in Langtang National Park and Manaslu Conservation Area. We start from the lowland, flat plans near Syabrubesi and move through the inspiring terraced rice fields near the Tamang village of Gatlang. We soon pass the 200-meter tall Chukarma Waterfall ascending through the vibrant rhododendron forests. Trekking forward, we will reach a point at which snow-capped mountains like Ganesh Himal (7422m), Langtang Lirung (7227m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Dorje Lakpa (6966m), and other towering peaks of central and western Nepal will surround us. This place has a strong possibility of mining crystals like ruby and zinc, which are precious minerals. We can find red pandas, snow leopards, bears, tigers, wolves, pheasants, and many types of monkeys and deer as wildlife here. As said before, we can experience great cultural diversity throughout the trek. We will pass through Tamang, Gurung, Newar, Chhetri, Brahmin, and Chepang villages and stay there. Accommodation during the trek will mainly be in a homestay facility, which will get you close to local cultures. The trek goes through foothills and lowland terraced farmlands to ethnic Tamang villages. We will get a chance to enjoy the splendid close views of Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Boudha Himal, Hiunchuli, and other peaks of the central Himalayas. The highest altitude on this trek is the Pangsang pass is 3850m (above sea level), one of the finest views on this trek. After exploring the incredible astonishing view of the Himalayas, we descend to Dhading Besi, from where we drive back to Kathmandu. Ruby Valley Trek allows you to have closer look at the people and natural environment. The warm hospitality of the local people adds up to an excellent memory of the unforgettable adventure during this trip. You can go trekking in Ruby Valley at any time of the year, although the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best weather. During the spring, the blooming flowers add color to the route. While in the fall, the skies are usually clear. The trek requires moderate fitness.

Frequently Asked Questions
The peak seasons for visiting Nepal are October-November and March-April. During these months, you'll experience clear skies, moderate temperatures, and excellent visibility of the mountains. October-November offers stable weather after the monsoon season, while March-April treats visitors to blooming rhododendrons in the hills. However, be aware that these are also the busiest periods, so we recommend booking your trek and accommodations well in advance.
Yes, most trekking areas require permits. For popular routes like the Annapurna Circuit or Everest Base Camp, you'll need both a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card and specific regional permits. Our agency handles all permit arrangements for our clients, including the required documentation and fees. We also ensure your permits are obtained well before your arrival to avoid any last-minute complications.
We offer treks suitable for all fitness levels. For beginners, we recommend shorter treks like the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek (4-5 days) or the Nagarkot-Chisapani trek near Kathmandu. For experienced trekkers, we offer challenging routes like the Everest Base Camp trek or the Manaslu Circuit. We always assess our clients' fitness levels and previous trekking experience to recommend the most suitable routes and provide appropriate preparation guidance.
Kathmandu's main cultural highlights include the Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur, the Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. We recommend at least 3-4 days to properly explore these UNESCO World Heritage sites. Our guided city tours include knowledgeable local guides who can explain the rich history and significance of each site, and we can customize itineraries based on your interests and available time.
In Kathmandu, we partner with hotels ranging from comfortable 3-star to luxury 5-star properties, all in convenient locations. During treks, accommodation varies by route and preference.
