Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek

Cross the spectacular Langtang Valley Ganja La Pass Trek, a 14-day high-altitude challenge designed to inspire seasoned hikers seeking an actual test of skill and endurance. You'll be travelling from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, then hiking through the rhododendron forests of Langtang Valley to reach Kyanjin Gompa — and you're still going to face down the technical challenge of Ganja La Pass, which would have us in ropes, crampons and ice axes. This trek combines immersion in Tamang villages with a raw adventure: no crowds, just you, the jagged Himalayas and epic Langtang Lirung views and beyond. Ideal for experienced hikers seeking a serious challenge beyond the usual teahouse trails. Get ready for some independent camping over the pass (no facilities for days).

Why Choose Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek?

Most treks in Nepal traverse crowded valleys, but the Ganja La Pass Trek promises solitude and technical thrills. Before the pass comes its icy crux — much wilder than Himalayan circuits around Everest or Annapurna, you'll visit Langtang's ancient Tibetan villages and yak cheese factories. Spring rhododendrons dye the forests vivid pink; autumn nights make the 6,000m+ peaks clear as glass. Guides fix ropes on the steeper, glaciated sections, so this is doable even for strong, experienced adventurers with some high-altitude experience. Groups are small (max 14), allowing genuine connections in a time of isolation. This trek changes you — stronger, keener of mind, with tales of having conquered Nepal's "serious undertaking."
