Sanjen Valley (Sangqên) lies below the Ganesh Himal, which is located about 70 km north-northwest of Kathmandu. It lies between the Rasuwa district of Nepal and the Gyirong County of China,[1] We can see the Sanjen glacier, grassland, and amazing view of Yangra[2] (Ganesh I) mountain from this valley.
History
The Sanjen Valley has been used by nomadic Tibetan people for thousands of years. People in this region use this land as pastureland and have adopted a nomadic style of life for countless centuries, deeply connected with the natural environment and their surroundings. Their main source of food is yaks and other livestock, and they travel over the vast grasslands in seasonal migrations.[citation needed]
There is no human settlement to this day and there are only goat and yak sheds for seasonal use.[citation needed]
