Ganjala Pass Trekking-14 Days Tour

Package Overview

Langtang Ganja La Pass Trekking is 14 days trekking in Nepal that takes you to the famous Langtang valley and the Ganja La pass (5,122m). Moreover, we also make an interesting excursion to Tserko Ri (4,984m) which offers tremendous views of the Langtang Himalaya range. The attraction of the Langtang region is that it's so close to Kathmandu valley and yet it is as wild as any Tibetan highlands. Langtang region is also famous for its Gosaikunda Lake. Moreover, the company of green rhododendron and bamboo forests, majestic waterfalls, and the snow-capped Himalayas make the trek one of the most diverse treks near Kathmandu. 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.

We start the trip with the drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. Driving time is about 6/7 hours in the snaky road. Langtang Ganja Pass trek begins from Syabrubesi, via the Kyanjin Gompa crosses the mighty Ganja La pass (5,122m), and ends at the Melamchi Pul Bazar in the Helambu region. 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 by a drive.
