LANGTANG GANJALA PASS TREKKING
The Ganjala pass is one of the most challenging passes in Nepal. This wedge in the Himalaya is situated at an altitude of 5160m. Our langtang trek takes you over this pass as you make your way south from langtang village which lies at 3500m and where the national park headquarters is located. The route from gyang in helambu requires crossing the 5106m ganja la. The pass is blocked by snow, so local inquiries about its condition good equipment and mountaineering experience are necessary for safe crossing.
The Helambu village excludes a Tibetan feel and you will see fields enclosed by stone walls as well as herds of Yaks, the most important animal for the people here. From Tarke Gyang we descend to Melamchi Khola before climbing to Pati Bhyanjyang then trek down to Sundarijal from here we drive back to Kathmandu.
