Ganjala pass trekking begins in the lower Langtang Valley, trekking through its forests and among the villages and farmlands of its people, many of who are of Tibetan origin but now known as" Tamang". This area is rich of Tibetan culture, typical way of their living, and Buddhist Monastery, Chorten, Mani wall and prayer wheel. This was once an important trading route with Tibet, so that most of the villagers and peoples are involved in trade.
On the way of journey, you will walk through Langtang National Park. Although wildlife is never easy to spot in a forest setting, there we get the chances of seeing some interesting animals and birds. Among those found in the park are monkeys, musk deer, Pika and the national bird of Nepal, the colorful danphe.
To explore further isolation, through some of the magnificent Nature, least ventured before, pristine Himalaya view etc. Teahouse facilities are not available in Ganja La region, and hence trekking should be fully supported and self-sufficient to meet all requirement and contingencies that come up for 3/4 days and rest of the trip we will have tea houses.. The highest point of this trek is Ganja La Pass (5122m). This region remains one of the alluring trekking corners of Nepal where your effort becomes meaningful!
