| The
Ganjala Pass is one of the most challenging passes in
Nepal. This wedge in the Himalaya is situated at an
altitude of 5,106 m. Our Lantang trek takes you over
this pass as you make your way south from Langtang
village which lies at 3,500m and is the national park
headquarters is located here. The route from Kyagin
Gompa in Langtang to Tarke Gyang in Helambu, require
crossing the 5106m Ganja La. The pass is blocked by
snow, so local inquiries about its condition, good
equipment and some mountaineering experience are
necessary for safe crossing.
The Helambu village exudes 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 Bhanjyang, then trek down to Sundarijal,
from where we drive back to Kathmandu.
