The route offers the opportunity to explore traditional villages, climb small trekking peaks, Himalayan wildlife and visit stunning glaciers at comfortable elevations. This expedition starting from Syabrubesi and will reach at long drive from Kathmandu and firstly gentle climb up though the bamboo forest with up stream and along the way best opportunity to see the birds, bee hives and further climb with beautiful rhododendron forest. Its continuing climb up to the alpine area can be appearing the Mountain View and from Kyanjing Gompa will have an amazing superb scenic Himalayan range towering a front of you. On this trek we’ll have more chances to see panoramic view and encounters with local tribes as well as landscapes with climb beautiful peak of Langtang valley. After the summit we re-track back to Syabrubesi.

About the first climbed to Naya Kanga peak no one knows who climbed but many would like to credit Tilman with the feat. 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 Langtang. The technical difficulty of the climb is rated at Alpine Grade PD+. This is mainly a function of three things: the fact that you are on significant snow slopes for most of the journey above camp 1; some crevasses as you turn west below the Ganja La; and finally the short ridge section to the summit. The summit can be gained 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. Naya Kanga (Ganja La Chuli) is an attractive peak rising to the west of the Ganja La (5,122m). Ascending to Ganja La or the summit of Naya Kanga offer the spectacular panoramic views of mountains in Nepal and Tibet including Langshisa Ri (6,370m), Pemthang Ri (6,836m), Shisapangma (8,046m), Langtang Lirung (7,425m), Pemthang Kapro Ri (6,830m) and Langtang II (6,571m). The normal route of ascent to Naya Kanga is via the north - East Ridge over a line on ice and snow. We follow the route of Langtang trek to Kyangjin (3,749m) for the ascent of Naya Kanga.
