Langtang Ganja-La Pass Trek

Overview And Highlights Book This Trip

Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek takes you over Ganja La Passsituated at 5130m. As you make your way south of Langtang village at a height of 3300m, the Langtang Ganja-La Pass trek embraces the dramatic views of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Yala peak, Naya Kanga, Gaurishanker, the Himal Chuli, and Mananslu.

Langtang Ganja La Pass trek is a challenging and adventure trek because of its difficulty. It requires technical skill and climbing equipment. It is also a popular trek among tourists as the main attraction of Ganja La Pass trek is an entirely wilderness adventure trek. The trek includes many Tibetan and Tamang villages and beautiful snow peaks. Kyangjing Gompa is a quaint little Tibetan village where you get a chance to experience the simplicity of Tibetan culture.

Ganja La Pass is a both lodging and camping trek. There are three days along the way with no lodges and settlements so only camping are possible and should be well equipped with food and supplies.
