Langtang is towards the north of the Kathmandu Valley
and just south of the Tibetan boarder. It is sandwiched
between the main Himalayan range to the north and a
slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. To the
west of Langtang is Ganesh Himal with a range of 6,000
to 7,000 meters. The northern parts of the area largely
fall within the boundaries of Langtang National
Parks. The main ethnic groups here are Sherpa and tamang
whose religious practices, languages and dress are much
similar to those of Tibet.
A visit to the Langtang Valley offers an opportunity to
explore villages, climb small peaks and visit glaciers
at a comfortably low elevation. The forest in this
region have temperate and sub- alpine vegetation.
Wildlife includes migratory birds, deer, monkeys, Thar,
and Pika. The scenery here is spectacular and the trek
is more adventurous.
The route from Kyanjin Gompa in Langtang to Tarke Gyang
in Helambu crossing 5106m begins Ganja La Pass trekking.
Crossing the Langtang Khola below KyanjinGompa, the
trail makes a steep climb along the ridge on the south
side of the valley through a forest of rhododendron and
juniper. Ganja La trail continues south, following
streams and moraines and climbing steeply towards the
pass. The views to the north from the pass, of Langtang
Lirung and the snow peaks in Tibet, including Shisha
Pangma at 8013m, are outstanding. On the clear day you
can see the views of many ranges to the south. West of
the pass is 5846m Naya Kangri named as Ganja La Chuli.
It is one of the trekking peaks and you can climb with a
permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association.
Teahouse facilities are not available in Ganja La
region, hence trekking should be fully supported and
self – sufficient to meet all requirement that come up.
