LANGTANG VALLEY TREK with GANJALA PASS (NEPAL)

Possessing 8 of the 10 highest mountains in the world, Nepal is a hotspot destination for mountaineers, rock climbers and people seeking adventures. A hub for the adventure lovers and home to Mt. Everest,  the world’s tallest peak, Nepal is a Himalayan country sandwiched between India and China. The mighty snow-capped mountains here such as Annapurna, Mount Everest, Manaslu, and Kanchenjunga some of the best trekking trails in the world.
As most of us are aware of the fact that majority of trek routes are far from cities, however, Langtang Ganja La Pass Trek is one of the few tracks that enjoys close proximity to the capital city of Kathmandu, yet does not fall behind the features that any other Himalayan highland enjoys. The abundant natural beauty and the majestic snow-capped peaks in the background create an almost ethereal atmosphere.
With that said, it is not at all an easy trek though, as it requires a lot of perseverance and experience along with good pieces of equipment. For nearly three-four days there might not be any comfort facilities available. Thus, one should be self-sufficient before moving on.
