Ganja la Pass Trekking

Once you reach Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), the Himalayan Marvel Adventure delegate will receive you from there then check-in in the hotel.

On this day, after breakfast at the hotel, we will meet the guide and crew members and then have a small meeting regarding our trek details. In the meeting, we will be discussing our itineraries, accommodation, transportation, and services that we include and exclude, and we provide a cap, T-shirt, and bag with our company logo. 

Then our city guide will take you for Kathmandu sightseeing, which includes Basantapur Durbar, Hanuman Dhoka, the busiest market of Kathmandu- Asan Bazar, Pashupatinath, and many more.

We’ll leave Kathmandu after breakfast and begin our journey. The 6-hour drive in a jeep/bus to Syabrubesi is full of beautiful scenery and adventure. You will spend the evening exploring the area around the hotel.

We’ll reach the Bhote Koshi first, then continue along the Langtang Khola. This path rises steadily to the Bamboo forest. After that, we make our way down to Rimche, which is located on the banks of the Langtang River. We can come across red pandas, monkeys, and bears on our journey. 

From the Lama Hotel, we resume uphill until we reach Ghodatabela, a green meadow where we will stop for lunch. From Ghodatabela, you can see the magnificent Langtang range. You must pass through the region ravaged by the 2015 Earthquake before arriving at the new Langtang village. After a few hours’ walk, we reach Mundu village.

Another fascinating day for a trek to Kyanjin Gompa awaits us today. The trail is simple to follow, and the views are breathtaking. After breakfast, the trek to Kyanjin Gompa takes 3-4 hours. Kyanjin gumba is another pavilion with many accommodation facilities, pleasant places, and mountains surrounding it. When trekking in the Langtang Valley, these are the most fun places to visit. You’re going to have a great time. Have lunch and explore Kyanjin Gompa and explore at another Cheese factory.

The exploration starts through yak pastures and a stunning natural setting. As we ascend in elevation, the air becomes thinner, which increases the risk of altitude sickness, which is why we’re going to the Tserko Ri for mountain views. Then, as we make our way back to Kyangjin Gompa, we’ll take in the scenery of mountains, yaks, birds, glaciers, etc.

We cross the Langtang River on our way to Ganja La Phedi, and as we reach the evergreen forests with blossoming rhododendrons. Because of the elevation, the walk gets difficult. Due to the snow, it could take longer to journey during the winter.

Trekking to Ganja La Pass is going to be challenging because it is one of the toughest passes to cross due to its high elevation and the fact that it is typically covered in snow all year long. Ganja La Pass offers a breathtaking perspective of the mountains because it is perched on a rocky outcrop. The walk is difficult, but it is also rewarding because of how beautiful it is; you will be amazed. We will descend down to Keldang after admiring the vista, and the trip may be challenging.

The trail gets simpler to walk on as we descend. We will travel through a lot of fields and forest areas. Only 5 to 6 hours would be spent on the hike.

As we continue down the trail, we will come closer to little communities and witness more grasslands. Over time, the trail gets simpler to follow. As there will be vegetation everywhere at this point, appreciation for nature will be evident.

On this day, we will be reaching a local beautiful village where we can experience the unique lifestyle of the locals. The people of this region are mostly Sherpa People and they all follow the buddhist religion.

This is the last day of your journey. You’ll steadily descend towards Melamchi Bazaar after leaving the charming Sherpa village behind. With the pictorial views of snow-capped peaks, it will be a very fun walk. The trail continues to descend to Melamchi Bazaar. You’ll take a break here before returning to Kathmandu.

Himalayan Marvel Adventure delegate will drop you at the airport before 3 hrs. and return to the respective places. Or you can choose the next program for the next adventurous journey.
