Naya Kanga 5844m Expedition

Naya Kanga, also called Ganja-La Chuli, is magnificently situated in the rarely visited Langtang region of Nepal. Its accessibility makes it an ideal choice of venue for a short visit to the Himalayas. The normal route to this peak is via the snowy north-east ridge.The most important reward of climbing Naya Kanga is the spectacular view of mountains in or near Tibet.

Tilman gets credit for climbing this peak. Certainly, he and Peter Lloyd were possibly the first westerners to cross the Ganja La, in this region. However, it is certainly a beautiful looking mountain and worthy of far more attempts than it gets compared with the more well known trekking peaks in the Kumbhu. The technical difficulty of the climb is rated at Alpine Grade. It mainly includes three things: the fact that you are on significant snow slopes for most of the journey above camp I; some crevasses as you turn west below the Ganja La; and finally the short ridge section to the summit. The summit can be attained in two days from Kyanjin with one camp at Branchen or Nyengang Kharka, or alternatively in three days with a second camp at Kangla Phedi just beow the Ganja La.

Close to Kathmandu, Ganja La Chuli 5844m (Naya Kanga) is the most accessible of our "people peaks" towering over the South of alpine Langtang valley and holy lakes of Gosaikund. Its fine ridge systems provide superb climbing and spectacular scenery from a top the summit; you can gaze in wonder at the peaks of the Jugal Himal as a Dome Blanc, Langshisa Ri and at Tibet's highest Mt. Shisapangma 8035m the last 8,000m peak in the World to be the climbed.
