Langtang -Ganja - La Pass Trekking

Explore the upper reaches of the scintillating Langtang Valley. The challenging crossing of the exciting Ganja La Pass Pass through remote Sherpa and Tamang villages in the delightful Helambu region.

The Langtang region is closer to Kathmandu and a little less populated than other trekking destinations in Nepal. We take you to the Langtang Valley that lies just south of the Tibetan Border. Your trek starts from the village of Dunche, walking on the open and fertile valley. Nepal's national flower, the Rhododendron looks amazing with the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and photo opportunities on this trek are endless. You will see and hear a multitude of birds and might be able to spot other wildlife such as Wild Boar and Languor monkey. As you move up the valley you will notice the Tibetan influence in the villages and lifestyle of the people. The ascent up to Tserko RI (4,984m) is a challenging climb, however it offers some of the most spectacular Himalayan views and the mountain passes are overpowering, which is a definite highlight of the trip! Another option is to undertake a shorter walk up to Kyanjin Ri or walk further up the valley. The pristine Gompa at Kyanjin is set in midst of the Himalayas and the views from all directions are phenomenal.

Our relaxed itinerary allows for two days at Kyanjin where we you are able to acclimatize yourselves to higher altitudes as you trek up to Langshisha Kharka for a glimpse of Tillman?s Col and the peaks near the Tibetan Boarder. You might also be able to climb Tserko RI a relatively easy trekking endeavourer, which offers unrivalled views of the high summits.

After Kyanjin Gompa you will spend the next few days trekking over the magnificent Ganja La (5400m. /17712ft), a challenging pass situated on the flank of the Naya Kang (5846m. /19175ft) where high camp is set up on grassy meadows at the foot of the pass before you make the crossing. The last few meters of ascent to the prayer flags on the pass require a modest amount of scrambling, though it is not difficult at any stage. Fabulous views of the Ganesh and Jugal Himal peaks greet you as you traverse across to the delightful Helambu region. Gentle trekking through pleasant Sherpa Villages provides
