Langtang Ganja-La Pass Trek |
 |
This trek
starts from Syabru Bensi, ends at Melamchi Pul
Bazar. From Syabru Bensi, you will follow the
Langtang River to the east until you get to
Kyanjing Gompa (3,049m.). In Kyanjing Gompa
there is a small Buddhist monastery and a cheese
factory started in 1955 by the Swiss Association
for Technical Assistance. When you are crossing
the pass there are spectacular views of Langtang
Lirung and the Tibetan peaks beyond. Much of
this route is spent above 3,000m.The highest
point of this trek is Ganjala Pass (5,122m). On
the very pass of Ganjala, the last few 100m
trails are precarious so we use a rope there for
safety, though the utmost care is enough. The
descent from the pass is on a steep slope for
over 1 km, which requires good care again. But
the rest of the trail is easy and comfortable.
As there are no lodges and no settlements for
three days along the way, the group should be
well equipped with enough food. Only organized
camping treks are possible for this region. The
use of firewood is also prohibited within the
park, so all supplies should be taken with us.
After passing the Ganjala Pass, the trail takes
you to Malamchi Gaun and Tarke Ghyang. People
here call themselves Sherpas but their
relationship with the Sherpa of Solu Khumbu is
distant. The dialects spoken are also different.
People here follow the Buddhist religion so you
will find many old Buddhist monasteries in the
villages. Tarkeghyang is another Sherpa town
along the way, which bears its own story. The
town name means temple of "100 horses" and was
taken from the name of a temple established in
1727 by a Lama (Buddhist monk) who was called on
by the king of Kathmandu to stop an epidemic. As
his reward the Lama asked for 100 horses, which
he brought here. The local temple, rebuilt in
1969, follows the Bhutanese style. |
