Naya Kanga Peak, also known as Ganja La Chuli, is a popular trekking peak located in the Langtang region of Nepal. Standing at an elevation of 5,844 meters (19,164 feet), it offers a thrilling climbing experience for mountaineers. The mountains in Nepal and Tibet can still be seen in stunning detail from this area, which is more accessible than others.
From Naya Kanga’s summit, you can see Shisapangma (8013m), Langtang II (6571m), Pemthang Kapro Ri (6830m), Langtang Lirung (7425m), Langshisa Ri (6370m), Pemthang Ri (6836m), and Langtang Lirung (7425m) in addition to a number of other magnificent mountains in Nepal and Tibet.
The climbing journey to Naya Kanga Peak typically begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, followed by a trek through the beautiful Langtang Valley. The trek takes you through lush forests, terraced fields, and traditional Tamang and Sherpa villages, providing an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and witness their way of life.
As you trek through the Langtang Valley, you’ll come across the village of Lama Hotel. This is a scenic resting point surrounded by lush forests and offers a serene environment to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the region. Continuing along the trail, you’ll reach Langtang Village, one of the major settlements in the region. Langtang Village was severely affected by the 2015 earthquake, but it has been rebuilt.

Further up the trail, you’ll arrive at Kyanjin Gompa, a Buddhist monastery and the last village before heading towards Naya Kanga Base Camp. Explore the monastery, enjoy the panoramic mountain views, and take in the tranquility of the surroundings. Once you leave Kyanjin Gompa, you’ll make your way towards Naya Kanga Base Camp. This is where climbers set up their camps, rest, and prepare for the summit push. The Base Camp offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks and the glacier-covered landscape.
After acclimatization at the Base Camp, you’ll ascend further to High Camp. This campsite is strategically located closer to the summit, allowing climbers to make their final preparations before the summit bid.The highlight of the expedition is reaching the summit of Naya Kanga Peak. The climb involves navigating snow slopes and technical sections. Upon reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas and a sense of accomplishment.
The Langtang region is known for its diverse biodiversity. As you trek towards Naya Kanga Peak, you’ll pass through beautiful forests of rhododendron, oak, pine, and bamboo. The region is home to various wildlife, including Himalayan black bears, red pandas, musk deer, snow leopards, and numerous bird species. The vegetation varies with the altitude, ranging from lush forests in the lower regions to alpine meadows and rocky terrain at higher elevations.
The Langtang region is predominantly inhabited by the Tamang and Sherpa communities, who have their own unique cultures and traditions. As you trek through the local villages, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the warm hospitality of the local people. You can witness their traditional way of life, observe their farming practices, and interact with the locals. The cultural practices are influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, and you may come across monasteries, prayer flags, and chortens (Buddhist shrines) along the way.
