The Wandering Trail Adventures' 15-day Langtang Circuit trek with Ganja La Pass is no-doubt a walk down the primal track of Langtang which gives a secluded and one-hell-of-ride hike through the inner core of the Langtang region
Why Langtang Circuit Trek with Ganja La Pass?
Langtang is a glacier valley surrounded by high peaks such as Langtang Lirung (7,227m), Ganesh Himal (7,422m), and many others. This walk through the heart of the Langtang region will be an eye-opener as these awe-inspiring Himalayan mountains are no doubt the biggest in life. The trek over Ganja La Pass (5,130m) is a tough physical endeavor at high altitude that also gives you not only the joy of having achieved but also a breathtaking view that extends itself to 360°.
1. A Cultural Experience Deeper than Deep
The Langtang region is untouched and is the place of native indigenous people: the Tamang and Sherpa, who are the most humane and religious people to travelers. You will get to meet them while you visit villages of Syabrubesi, Lama Hotel, and Langtang Village and hear their stories, their hardship, and their way of life. The local people would also invite you to be a participant observer in their daily routines devoid of modernity, and they can help you be acquainted with their spiritual belief.
2. Scenic Diversity
The Langtang Circuit trek is highly in demand for the reason that it includes a wide variety of terrains. The journey will start from the warmer climatic condition with subtropical forests, and pass slowly the track into higher elevations where alpine meadows, deserted mountains, and icy passes will be your travel companions to the final stage of the cycle. During your walk, you will also pass through pleasant Rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and secluded villages that are nestling between mountains and have a chance to glance at the snow-covered mighty peaks of the Himalayas.
3. Ganja La Pass – The Ultimate Challenge
The Ganja La Pass presents a challenge that greatly pumps up the trekking energy. The pass, standing at 5,130 meters altitude, requires a considerable physical endurance and the will to succeed. But the feeling of witnessing one of the most breathtaking mountains and the actual moment when you achieve the highest point makes everything you had gone through completely rewarding. Ganjala Pass is also the place to take in panoramic views of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal and the rest of the amazing mountain range around you.
Highlights of the Langtang Circuit Trek with Ganja La Pass
1. Drive to Syabrubesi
The journey to the trekking site is attainable by taking a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, the entrance to the Langtang region. Through the route, you are likely to encounter a large number of picturesque rural settings with rivers interweaving the countryside, and traditional houses. The trip offers a perfect way to find out about local flora and fauna.
2. Trekking Through Langtang Valley
The trail ascends gradually and at the same time provides you with the chance to see the main attractions of the area and some forest paths. The trek will enable you to be part of a village atmosphere like Lama Hotel, Langtang, and Kyanjin Gompa where you can relax, acclimatize, and get to know the local people. The range of flora and fauna in the region is very wide, so don't be surprised if you come across a red panda, a Himalayan tahr, and a bird, you've never seen before.
3. Kyanjin Gompa – A Spiritual Pause
Kyanjin Gompa is the key point during the trek. This ancient, quiet, and peaceful place is perfect for meditation and relaxation and at the same time is very beautiful. From here, you can enjoy the fantastic views of Langtang Lirung (7,227m) and other peaks. Not just that, this is an ideal place to take a break, rest, and get used to the height before a possible trial of the Ganja La Pass.
4. Ganja La Pass Crossing

Once the pass is overcome, the trek route will descend to the village of Tarke Gyang where the travelers can take it easy and wonder at the mountainous ambience.
