Formerly known as Ganja La Chuli, Naya Kanga (5,844 m) rises to the west of Ganja La, and is a popular but difficult mountain to climb. The normal route to this peak is via the snowy northeast ridge, an aesthetic line on snow and ice, classically alpine in character. It is not yet clear who climbed this summit first. The Langtang valley lies roughly thirty kilometers north of Kathmandu quite close to the border with Tibet. Without a doubt, one of the rewards of gaining the Ganja La or the summit of Naya Kanga is the superb views of mountains in or near Tibet. The stunning panorama looking north-east over peaks in the Jugal Himal includes Lanshisa Ri (6370m/ 20899ft), Penthang Ri (6836m/ 22428ft), and Pemthang Karpo Ri, or Dome Blanc (6830m/ 22412ft), to Shishapangma (8046m/26398ft) which is the highest peak in Chinese territory and the last of the 8,000metre summits to be climbed.
