The Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek combines the Langtang Valley trail to explore various aspects simultaneously. It connects to one of the most challenging passes in Ganja-La but offers excellent adventure in the Langtang region. The trek's characteristic is not so far from the Kathmandu valley but is still wild. We also can go hiking to Tserko Ri (5 000 m). It thus offers impressive views of the Langtang range and beautiful alpine pastures.

The taste of an off-the-beaten-track brings us to the Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek into the Langtang valley. It offers beautiful views of the Langtang Lirung and other Tibetan peaks while crossing the Ganja La pass. A daring itinerary of this trek begins from Syabrubesi. Moreover, It needs well-equipped teams to arrange packages for inadequate accommodation, steep climbs, and descents.

The Trek to Ganja La Pass provides an extraordinary experience of nature and cultural influence. For example, the Kyanjing Gompa is a famous monastery, while Tarke Gyang is nearby. It is believed to be a meditation by Buddhist master Padma Sambhawa. Similarly, the routes across the Ganja Pass Trek contain several monasteries and Buddhist shrines. The Helambu Circuit is meanwhile fascinating due to the cultural aspects and warm hospitality of the Hyolmo people.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

Best company best guide

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
