Ganesh Himāl (Nepali: गणेश हिमाल) is a sub-range of the Himalayas located mostly in north-central Nepal, but some peaks lie on the border with Tibet. The Trisuli Gandaki valley in the east separates it from the Langtang Himal; the Budhi (Buri) Gandaki valley and the Shyar Khola valley in the west separate it from the Sringi Himal and the Mansiri Himal (home of Manaslu, the nearest 8000 m peak). The range lies about 70 km north-northwest of Kathmandu.
The highest peak in the range is Yangra (Ganesh I), 7,422 m (ca. 24,350 ft). There are three other peaks over 7,000 metres, plus some fourteen others over 6,000 metres. Ganesh Himal enjoys great vertical relief over nearby valleys, particularly Ganesh NW, being closest to the Shyar Khola.
The name for the range comes from the Hindu deity Ganesha, usually depicted in the form of an elephant. In fact, the south face of Pabil (Ganesh IV) slightly resembles an elephant, with a ridge that is reminiscent of an elephant's trunk.
Names and elevations for this range differ from source to source. The least ambiguous way to refer to the different peaks would be "Ganesh NW", etc., but this is not the standard practice in the literature for this range.
