Naya Kanga Peak Climbing is a thrilling adventure in Nepal’s stunning Langtang region, offering a perfect combination of alpine scenery, moderate climbing, and cultural immersion. Standing at 5,844 meters, Naya Kanga—also known as Ganja La Chuli—is one of the most popular trekking peaks for those looking to experience high-altitude Himalayan climbing without needing technical mountaineering experience.

The journey begins along the beautiful Langtang Valley trail, passing through rhododendron forests, river valleys, and traditional Tamang villages. After several days of trekking, climbers reach Kyanjin Gompa (3,870m), a peaceful village surrounded by towering peaks and glaciers.

To help with acclimatization, climbers often hike nearby Kyanjin Ri (4,773m) and Tsergo Ri (4,984m)—both offering panoramic views and excellent preparation for the climb ahead.

The standard climbing route to Naya Kanga follows the North-East Face and North Ridge. While the climb involves snow and ice, it is considered non-technical, making it accessible to fit trekkers with basic climbing skills or those accompanied by experienced guides. The route offers a real taste of Himalayan climbing, including high camps, glacier travel, and a summit push.

From the top of Naya Kanga, climbers are rewarded with breathtaking views of major peaks such as Langtang Lirung (7,425m), Shisapangma (8,046m), Langshisa Ri (6,370m), and several others stretching into Tibet.

Ganja La Chuli Climbing is ideal for trekkers ready to challenge themselves and experience what it’s like to climb in the Himalayas—without committing to a full-scale expedition.
