This is better known as the Ganesh Himal Range. It is comprised of many Ganesh himals that are numbered according to their altitude. They are: Yangra/ Ganesh 1 (Altitude: 7,422m/ 24,350ft) Ganesh 2 (Altitude: 7,118ft/ 23,353ft) Salasungo/ Ganesh 3 (Altitude: 7,043m/ 23,107ft) Pabil/ Ganesh 4 (Altitude: 7,104m/ 23,307ft) Ganesh 5 (Altitude:6698m/ 21975ft ) Ganesh 6 (Altitude: 6881mm/ 22575ft) The name, "Ganesh" comes from the famous Hindu God called, "Ganesh." He is the elephant-headed god who got the elephant head when his father, Lord Shiva took off his head mistakenly. In fact, the southern slope of the mountain Yangra closely resembles like the head of an elephant. Whatever the name, these mountains have rubies hidden in the valleys they form. So, when you see the Ganesh Himal from anywhere, think about the treasures that Ganesh Himal holds.
