Langtang Ganja la pass trail located in the Langtang region of the Himalayas is a rare and challenging trek of Nepal. The trek starts from Syabrubesi, about 120 km from Kathmandu, presenting various views of Himalayas blooming basin and gorgeous Helambu valley. The trail goes through alpine forests, rich flora and fauna and meadows in high elevations.

From Kyangin Gompa in Langtang, the trail passes the Ganja La pass (5106m) to Tarke Gyan in Helambu. The trail provides excellent lookouts of Langtang Lirung and snow mountains in Tibet including Shisha Pangma (8013m) in north. Naya Kanga (5846m) previously known as Ganja La chuli lies west to the pass. A separate trail along the basin, rarely noticed by the cairns, leads to a small stream at 4400m.

Trekking beneath a waterfall to beautiful Helambu via Sherpa settlements and to the Melamchi bazaar road is one among several trails the trekkers can choose.
