Langtang Helambu Trek via Ganja La Pass

Our representative will greet you at the Kathmandu international airport and after that you will be driven to the hotel. After you've completed the check-in process, you can rest at the hotel. After a little break, we will take you on a short tour of Kathmandu's main tourist hub, Thamel, to familiarize you with some good restaurants, ATMs, money changers, supermarkets, gear shops, and other required items for your trip. Following a quick exploration, you will be brought to our office for a travel briefing.

The journey to Syabrubesi begins after an early morning breakfast. You will leave Kathmandu and get on the highway, gently making your way north along a major valley road. If the sky is clear, you'll get numerous beautiful sceneries of the river, terraced farms, little settlements and snowcapped mountains. The road leads to Dhunche, a small bustling town, and then to Syabrubesi, a town with plenty to see and do, as well as a riverbank hot spring.

We will start our trek in Syabrubesi and follow the Bhote Koshi and Langtang rivers. We will pass through rural towns with bamboo and birch trees, as well as rich jungle and terraced fields. We may have the opportunity to see unique and local species such as the red panda in this location. Following the route, we will arrive at the Lama Hotel, where we will spend the night.

After breakfast, we will continue our journey to Mundu village. The trail will take us through a dense forest before forcing us to climb up into the valley. We will pass via the Langtang village on our approach to Mundu. Many Tibetans and Tamang live together in this old community, adhering to the Buddhist religion. This village was severely damaged by the earthquake and is now slowly recovering. On the route, we'll be able to see Langtang Lirung, a snow-capped mountain (7,246m).

Our adventure awaits us after a wonderful cup of tea and breakfast. We'll pass through little villages and fields, passing by water mills, prayer wheels and sacred rock mounds with inscriptions engraved into them. This is when we arrive at the Kyangjin Gompa, an ancient monastery. We eat lunch at our accommodation and then will go for exploring around the place.

The journey begins with a walk-through yak pastures and lovely natural scenery. The Tserko Ri will be visited for mountain views, and as the elevation rises, the air thins out, causing altitude sickness. Then we'll return to Kyangjin Gompa, taking in the views of the mountains, birds, yaks, and glacier, among other things.

As we cross the Langtang River and reach the lush Rhododendron trees, our trek to Ganja La Phedi is unquestionably magnificent. The trek becomes difficult due to the high altitude. The trek may take longer during the winter due to the snow. We will stay overnight in the tea house.

Ganja La Pass will be a difficult trek to complete because it is one of the hardest passes to cross due to its high elevation and the fact that it is generally covered in snow throughout the year. Ganja La Pass is perched on a rocky debris, providing a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. The trek is tough, but it is also rewarding in terms of aesthetics, as you will be astonished. After delighting in the scenery, we'll descend to Keldang, which, as previously stated, may be a difficult journey.

The route becomes simpler to pass as we descend down. We'll be trekking through a lot of fields and forests. It would just take 5 to 6 hours to complete the journey. Your camping spot will be located within the forest. This will be a lengthy day of walking along the ridge, through grassland, in complete silence, with excellent mountain views.

As we continue down the path, we'll pass through more meadows and become closer to little villages. The route gets easier to walk through as time goes on. Appreciation for nature will be evident at this point, since there will be greenery everywhere. 

The trek today begins in the forest and continues through a Helambu area village before looping around the valley and ending in the midst of Parachin and Gangyul. The people who live in this area practice Drikpa Kagyu Buddhism. Bhutanese Buddhism is practiced by the people living in this religion. We will stay at the tea house for the night. 

Finally, we'll make our way down to Melamchi Bazaar, where we'll continue to explore the intriguing Sherpa village. We'll take the local bus back to our accommodation in Kathmandu from the Bazaar.

After a few weeks in Nepal, a Firante representative will drop you out at the airport according to your flight time. You'll return home with memories that will last a lifetime.
