Ruby Valley Trek - 9 Days Private Hidden Gem from Kathmandu

Fewer than 200 trekkers walk this trail each year. No crowds, no Wi-Fi teahouses, no souvenir shops. Just authentic Gurung and Tamang stone villages where life has been unchanged for centuries.

Four distinct landscapes: subtropical valleys, dense bamboo forests, terraced farmland, and alpine rhododendron woodland. Views of Ganesh Himal and Tibetan peaks. Natural hot springs at Tatopani. The historic ruby-mining region that gives the valley its name.

Max altitude only 3,842m at Pangsang Pass — stunning scenery without the altitude sickness risk of Everest or Annapurna.

Our family runs the Nagarjun Learning Centre at Saldum village on the trail, supporting 70 children. Trekkers visit the centre near Kintang Phedi. All funds from this trek support the learning centre.

Organised within 48 hours. Our guides speak Gurung and Tamang and know every family on the route. This is Nepal before the brochures.
