The Ganja La Pass Trek (5,122 m) is a challenging and adventurous high-altitude trek in Nepal’s Langtang region, ideal for experienced trekkers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Himalayan experience. This remote route links the scenic Langtang Valley with the culturally rich Helambu region, offering dramatic mountain views, glacier crossings, and untouched alpine landscapes.

Crossing one of Nepal’s highest trekking passes, the trek rewards adventurers with panoramic views of Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, and Shishapangma. Along the way, trekkers experience traditional Tamang and Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and peaceful yak pastures far from crowded trails.

The Ganja La Pass Trek is physically demanding and may require basic mountaineering skills, depending on season and snow conditions. Best undertaken in spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), this trek is perfect for those looking for wilderness, solitude, and a true sense of Himalayan achievement.
