Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek takes you over Ganja-La Pass situated 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.
After early-morning breakfast, our guide will pick you up from the hotel and take you to bus station. Drive from Kathmandu to Syabru Besi which takes about nine hours. You head north out of Kathmandu driving through scenic foothills and ridgeline vistas to Syabru Besi passing through Dhunche. Stay overnight at lodge (tea house).

Thereafter, your trek ascends gently to Rimche (2400m.) through Bamboo (1960m.) which lies at the bank of Langtang Khola. Stay overnight at lodge (tea house).
At Ghora Tabela [3000m], the trail emerges from the forest. While walking here, you can catch a glimpse of white monkeys and local birds. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders w 1ho bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer months. There is a monastery which we can visit shortly before arriving at the village of Langtang, the headquarters of the Langtang National Park. Stay overnight at lodge.
The trail climbs gradually through small villages and yak pastures as the valley opens out further and the views become more extensive. After crossing several small streams and moraines, the trail reaches the settlement at Kyangjin. We should arrive at Kyangjin by lunch time allowing time to acclimatize and explore the area. It is a dramatic setting, with snow- covered peaks surrounding us in all directions. At this point, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Dorje Larpa (6990m.), Langtang Ri (6370m.) and Langtang Lirung (7245m.)Stay overnight at lodge.
