To cross from Langtang into Helambu, via the Ganja La Pass, is a serious undertaking requiring good equipment. For three to four days there are no teahouse facilities so we have to be fully self- sufficient. From the pass the views across the valley to the peaks of the Langtang Himal are particularly good.
The Ganja La Pass at 5160m is one of the most challenging in Nepal. Our Langtang trek takes you over this pass, as you make your way south from Langtang village (3500m) where the national park headquarters are located, to Tarke Gyang in Helambu. The pass is often blocked by snow, so local enquiries about its condition, good equipment and mountaineering experience are necessary for a safe crossing.
The Helambu villages exude a Tibetan feel with their fields enclosed by stone walls and herds of yaks, the most important animal for the people here. From Tarke Gyang, descend to Melamchi Khola before climbing to Pati Bhyanjyang, then trek down to Sundarijal, and a drive back to Kathmandu.
