Ganga Jamuna Trek

Ganga Jamuna Trek is a newly promoted trek. This trek is named after a twin sister waterfall called Ganga Jamuna, perched in Dhading district of Nepal and getting popularity recently. Ganga Jamuna is a revered site for Hindus and Buddhist pilgrims. It draws many tourists during the annual fair held in Tripura Sundari temple.

People visit Tripura Sundari temple and explore Ganga Jamuna waterfall specially during November, 3 days before the full moon, to offer special prayers. Similarly, there is a natural spring called Kukur Dhara (Dog Spring), where people take a dip and believe that it relieves them from rabies. Strange enough to attract anyone. Additionally, another attraction is a holy stone believed to shield the divine power that is the constant source of spring.

The trekking trail to Ganga Jamuna traverses lush forest of rhododendron, pine and oaks and picturesque villages of Tamang, Gurung, Brahmin and Chhetri community. The trail bestows beautiful landscapes, forested tracks, rocky cliffs, green hills, and lofty mountains. You will marvel at the splendid sight of Annapurna range, Manaslu ranges, Ganesh Himal, Lamjung Himal, Himalchuli, Shringi Himal, Langtang range, and surrounding peaks.

Expect to get overwhelmed by the warmest hospitality of local people. You will gain insights into Gurung, Brahmin, Chhetri, and Newari people’s unique culture and lifestyle. The local people are amiable and kind enough to welcome you.
