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 kilometres 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.

The monsoon sweeps up from India each summer, making mid June to mid September humid and wet. The three other distinct seasons are all suitable for trekking and each has its own advantages. Changing global weather patterns have had their effect on the Himalayan climate making mountain weather notoriously changeable. Always be prepared for a change in conditions and note that if severe or dangerous weather conditions occur your guide’s decision on any course of action is final.

Autumn (September – November): This season offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain views.

Winter (December – February): This season is noted for occasional snowfall only at higher elevation. Hence it is ideal for trekking at lower elevations, generally below 3000 meters.

Spring (March – May): Different varieties of wild flowers, specially the rhododendrons make the hillside above 5000 meters a haunting paradise during this season. It is mildly warm at lower elevations and at higher elevation over 4000 meters the mountain views are excellent and temperature is quite moderate.
