Ganja la Pass Trekking is an adventurous trek which offers tremendous views of the Langtang Himalaya range along with the wilderness in the less visited part of Nepal. This is a challenging trek and can require a previous experience for crossing the Ganja La Pass.

Ganja La Pass Trek is an amazing trekking experience in the Lang tang Region. Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just below the main Himalayan range to the north Tibet Border and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. Situated 16,800 feet above sea level, Ganja La Pass is renowned as one of the most difficult pass. During this trek, we also make an interesting excursion to Tserko Ri (5,000m/16,404ft) which offers tremendous views of the Langtang Himalaya range. Being only few miles away from Kathmandu, Lang tang region has been successful to be known as wild as any Tibetan highlands. This region is also famous for its Gosainkunda Lakes. The people living the highlands of the Langtang region are certainly the Nepalese, being the descendant of the Tibetan origin, they still look like Tibetans. This trek also offers an opportunity to explore Tibetan villages, Tamang Villages, to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. Here you get to know their culture, tradition, unique dressing style, ancient trading style and the hardship of rural life.

Embarking our journey with an about eight hours drive north from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, we commence our trek only on the next day to Lama Hotel. Green rhododendron, bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of most diverse treks near Kathmandu. The trek begins from Syabrubesi, via the Kyanjin Gompa crosses the mighty Ganja La pass, and ends at the Melamchi Pool Bazaar in the Helambu region. Kyanjin Gompa is a last Tibetan Village in the valley, from where a trek starts to Helambu over Ganja La Pass (5,200m). The pass itself is not easy, during autumn and spring the pass opens for trekkers. Crossing of the pass requires the use of technical climbing equipment and trekkers must be skilled in the use of this and be prepared to assist less well-equipped porter staff. The trail follows a small valley before reaching the glaciated pass where the use of ropes, crampons and ice axes may be necessary. If you are trekking during spring the forest on the trail is colorful and blooming full of Rhododendrons. Toward the end of the trip, you will also trek through some beautiful rice terraces and a number of splendid Buddhist monasteries around the delightful villages of Tarke Gyang and Sermathang before heading back to Kathmandu.
