The Trisuli Gandaki valley on the east separates it from the Langtang Himal; the Budhi (Buri) Gandaki valley and the Shyar Khola valley on the west separate it from the Sringi Himal and the Mansiri Himal (home of Manaslu, the nearest 8000m peak).","summary_more":["The highest peak in the range is Yangra with an elevation of 7,422 m (24,350 ft). Three other peaks are over 7,000 m (23,000 ft) and fourteen others over 6,000 m (20,000 ft).","The name for the range comes from the Hindu deity Ganesha, usually depicted in the form of an elephant.","Names and elevations for this range differ from source to source; see the notes below the table. The least ambiguous way to refer to the different peaks would be \"Ganesh NW\", but this is not the standard practice in the literature for this range."],"facts":[{"key":"type","label":"Type","values":[{"text":"mountain range","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q46831"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3095116#P31"}},{"key":"elevation","label":"Elevation","values":[{"text":"7,422 m","value":7422.0}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3095116#P2044"}},{"key":"range","label":"Mountain range","values":[{"text":"Himalayas","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5451","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/himalayas"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3095116#P4552"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesh_Himal","https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A3%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6_%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3095116"],"faq":[{"q":"What is the elevation of Ganesh Himal?","a":"Ganesh Himal is at an elevation of 7,422 m above sea level."}],"related":[{"name":"Mount Everest","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/mount-everest"},{"name":"Kathmandu","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/kathmandu"},{"name":"Kangchenjunga","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/kangchenjunga"},{"name":"Annapurna (mountain range)","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/annapurna-mountain-range"},{"name":"Dhaulagiri","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/dhaulagiri"},{"name":"Makalu","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/makalu"},{"name":"Lhotse","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/lhotse"},{"name":"Cho Oyu","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/cho-oyu"},{"name":"Manaslu","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/manaslu"},{"name":"Pokhara","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/pokhara"},{"name":"Lumbini","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/lumbini"},{"name":"April 2015 Nepal earthquake","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/april-2015-nepal-earthquake"}],"places_in":[{"name":"Salasungo","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/salasungo"},{"name":"Ganesh NW (Ganesh II/III)","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/ganesh-nw-ganesh-ii-iii"},{"name":"Pabil","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/pabil"}],"nearby":[{"name":"Pabil","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/pabil","km":1.4},{"name":"Salasungo","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/salasungo","km":3.8},{"name":"Ganesh NW (Ganesh II/III)","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/ganesh-nw-ganesh-ii-iii","km":5.7},{"name":"Kerauja","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/kerauja","km":8.2},{"name":"Gatlang","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/gatlang","km":11.1},{"name":"Lapa, Nepal","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/lapa-nepal","km":15.1}],"image":{"url":"https://thumb.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Ganesh_Himal_air_view.jpg/960px-Ganesh_Himal_air_view.jpg","width":640,"height":395,"license":"CC BY-SA 3.0","credit":"Solundir","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ganesh_Himal_air_view.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Ganesh Himal","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesh_Himal","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikipedia (Nepali): गणेश हिमाल","url":"https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A3%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6_%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q3095116","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3095116","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Ganesh Himal air view.jpg by Solundir (CC BY-SA 3.0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ganesh_Himal_air_view.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Ganesh Himal, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
