Different itineraries are recommended for the Ruby Valley Trek as per the trekker’s convenience. Usually, the trek begins after a drive from Kathmandu to Shyabru Besi. We follow a zigzag dirt track, cross Bahun Danda Pass and reach Tamang settlement of Gatlang. We go through pine and rhododendron forest to Parvati kund, Yuri Kharka and down to Somdang. From Somdang we head to Pangsang pass from where we can view beautiful villages of valley and soaring peaks of Manaslu and Ganesh Himal Range. Next, we descend to Tipling and trek to villages of Sherlung and Chalish with abundant fields. We can enjoy the Tamang culture show with at Sherlung and Gurung traditions at Chalish. They both follow Buddhist practices. Sri Tinkanlya Devi Mandir lies above Chalish. From Chalish we trek to Borang continue, crossing suspension bridges over breathtaking Ankhu Khola, to Percho, Darkha Gaun(village) and all the way down to Darkha Phedi.
