Ganja La Pass Trek

Ganja La Pass Trek itinerary can be customized according to your choice. Please write to us for the individual travel Itinerary. The price varies depending on hotel category, transportation, private vehicle, and flight service.

Ganja La Pass Trekking trip is especially to prepare for tourist trails that show up the Langtang region in Nepal and are descendants of Tibetan origin. People still look like Tibetans. These treks are more adventurous and unique than other treks in the Langtang region which offers a panoramic view of the Himalayas, the beautiful Langtang Valley, and the Helambu Valley. The Ganja la Pass Trek follows the alpine forests, the rich flora and fauna, and the high pastures.

The attraction of the Langtang region is its proximity to Kathmandu. Ganjala Pass Trek is as wild as any Tibetan mountain. The northern parts of the area are mainly within the borders of the Langtang National Park. The main ethnic groups are Sherpa and Tamang, whose religious practices, languages and clothing are very similar to those of Tibet. The forests in this region have temperate, subalpine vegetation and diverse wildlife.

Ganjala Pass Trek starts from Syabru Bensi. You follow the Langtang Khola east to Kyanjin Gompa, where there are a small Buddhist monastery and a cheese dairy. You also make an exciting trip to Tserko Ri (5000 m) and offer a breathtaking view of the Langtang Himalaya. The highest point of the walk is (5122 m). The Ganja La pass is covered with snowy ice almost all year round. The pass offers a majestic panoramic view of Langtang Lirung and the snow-capped peaks of the Tibetan border.

Food and Accommodation

You will spend the night in a three-star hotel in Kathmandu and tea houses during the trek. All accommodations are double or twin sharing rooms. A single room supplement is served upon request and costs an additional $ 275. We organize rooms with attached bathrooms. In teahouses, however, there are only shared washing and toilet facilities in some places. Also note that single rooms in Kathmandu and trekking regions are readily available at lower altitudes, but finding them at higher elevations can be difficult.

We provide breakfast only in Kathmandu, while all three meals are offered during the trek. During the trekking, you can enjoy Nepalese food, as well as more international cuisine such as Tibetan, Italian, Continental, Indian, etc. Breakfast and dinner are served from the lodge menu, where we spend the night, while lunch is served on the way to the next destination.
