Ganjala Pass: To cross from Langtang into Helambu via the Ganjala pass is a
serious undertaking and considering a challenging
and one of the rare trekking courses in Nepal. For three to four days
there are no facilities, and groups and their staff
must be fully self-sufficient. The route
to Ganja La starts above the settlement at Kyangjin
Gompa in the Langtang Valley (see route description
for Langtang Valley). From the
pass the views across the valley to the peaks of the Langtang Himal are particularly good. In the
distance you can see Shishapangma, the only 8000
meters peak entirely in China (Tibet). Scattered stone shelters, used as summer shelters by
herders, are the only evidence of human habitation.
There are several fine campsites along the ridge,
which can be used by trekkers and their staff on the
trek between Ganja La and Tarkeghayang, the first
permanent settlement to be reached. |
