Ruby Valley Trek is in the Ganesh Himal Region, it lies northwest of Kathmandu and comprises the area between Langtang National Park and Manaslu Circuit, north of Dhading the district headquarters. It is ‘Ruby Valley Rural Municipality’ because the area became well-known for gemstone mining, rubies included. This is a relatively newly developed home stay trekking area, not as yet much frequented by backpackers. There are several treks in this area: Singla pass, Kalo Seto Kunda, and Paldor Peak are also here, but they are usually more strenuous, going to the higher altitude, and requiring camping gear and well equipment.
