Paldor lies at the south-east end of
Ganesh Himal marking the junction of the
Tiru and Karpu Dandas at the head of the
Mailung Khola, a tributary of the
Trisuli Gandaki river.
The name Ganesh is taken from the
elephant-headed Hindu god of good luck,
probably the most popular deity in the
Kathamndu valley. On a clear day the
Ganesh Himal, with the icy fangs of
Pabil (7,101m/23,300ft), Logsang Karpo
(7,150m/23,458ft), Ganesh I
(7,406m/24,298ft) and Ganesh V
(6,950m/22,802ft) can be seen forming an
imposing backdorp to the north-west of
Kathamndu.
The quickest approach to Paldor and
Ganesh Himal is from Sabru near Dunche
in the Trisuli valley which can be
reached in a 6 to 7 hours drive from
Kathmandu. From here the trail crosses
the Langtang Khola to Sabrubesi. After
crossing the Bhote Kosi river the route
leads via Tamang villages of Tangjet and
Gatlang, then heads northwards along the
ridge before dropping into the forest
above Mailung Khola to pick up the newly
built road that leads to an army post.
The moraine filled valley below Paldor
is reached from here in another days
walk. A more interesting approach is the
trek from Sundarijal (on the outskirts
of Kathmandu valley) through the hills
of Helambu and over the Gosainkunda
range to Sabru. The return from the
mountain can be made by trekking
directly to Trisuli Bazaar in about 4 or
5 days from where a drive of about 3
hours bring one back to Kathmandu.
