Langtang Ganja La Pass lies in the northern plane of the Nepal-Tibetan border. Lantang Valley is rich in culture, nature, wildlife, diversity, and ethnicity. This valley not only represents the Nepalese culture but also gives a touch of Tibetan ethnicity.
Moreover, the wildlife is equally fascinating, with different species sharing habitats like Himalayan Tahr, musk deer, and many more. This region’s landscapes and scenic beauty are also dying for. Trekking in the Lantang Valley will take you to the depths of meaningful exploration of nature and culture, and one might be fascinated by many specific attractions during this trip.
We have brought you a luxurious trekking package to Langtang with an exploration of Ganja-La Pass. Ganja La Pass Trek is one of the adventurous treks in the Langtang region of Nepal. Moreover, the main highlights of the trek are traditional culture, primitive religion, mighty peaks, glacial lakes, and the typical lifestyle of the region’s people.
The trek offers an opportunity of camping at Ngegang, Keldang, and Dukpu, as there are no tea houses after Kyanjin Gompa. During acclimatization, we explore Langsisa Yak Pasture and Yala Cheese Factory and climb Tserko Ri (5,050m). The famous mountain, Langtang Lirung (7,234 m), is the crown of the Langtang region.
The significant ethnic clans of Tamangs, Sherpas, and Hyolmos dominate this region. Nevertheless, their welcoming nature is heartwarming, and you will feel at home, although you’re far away. Moreover, as you explore, you can taste the savory delicacies of the local villages made by different communities.
