Srinagar Danda

At the foot of Srinagar Danda north of Tansen a little shrine to Ganesh marks the start of a steep path to the 1525 m (5000 ft) summit, a walk of about half an hour (an easier route runs along the ridge from the Hotel Srinagar). The reward is a spectacular view of the Himalayan chain from the Kanjiroba Himal in the west to the Langtang. The now ruined summer retreats seen on the mountain are another legacy of the Ranas.
