Langtang could be the perfect destination for those who are interested to climb snow peaks. It also offers panoramic views of mountains in Nepal and Tibet. The region is easily accessible and there are many peaks scattered in the region. This peak is also said to be an idle destination for both novice and experienced climbers. Naya king is an attractive peak rising to the west of the Ganja la pass.
Ascending to Ganja La and the summit of Naya Kanga offer the spectacular panoramic views of mountains in Nepal and Tibet including Langshisa Ri (6,310m), Pemthang Ri (6,836m), Shisapangma (8,046m), Langtang Lirung (7,246m), Pemthang Kapro Ri (6,830m) and Langtang II (6,581m). 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 (3,900m) for the ascent of Naya Kanga. To the north above Kangjin, there are several hills that provide both the magnificent views and acclimatization. Northeast of Kyangjin Ri (4,773m), there is a peak called Tserko Ri Peak (5001m) that provides good climbing for acclimatization.
Northeast Face & North Ridge We cross the Langtang Khola below Kyangjin and then we climb steeply along the ridge through a forest of rhododendrons and juniper. The final climbing is gentler and then we arrive at Yak pasture of Ngegang at about 4150m. We follow the trail continuously to Ganja La Climbing steeply through moraine. Then we climb steeply up leaving Gunja La behind. When we reach Naya Kanga, we set up high camp there for the ascent.
We cross the glacier shelf to the foot heading to the north ridge. Then we climb the couloirs to the notch and the base of the ridge. Then we turn to the left which is the technical section. Now the ridge widens and leads to a small col. On the east west summit ridge. The summit is now only 30m higher to the right. This climb should be done very carefully. Normally the ascent takes 5-7 hours from the high camp. We can follow Ganja La Helambu route while returning. Here we have given Ganjala-helambu region for an itinerary.

I was trekking on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in November 2007 together with two friends. It was wonderful getting to know rural Nepal and experiencing the enchanting scenery of the mountains. Ngima Sherpa was our trekking guide. It was his great enthusiasm that made our trip an unforgettable experience! He was reliable, perfectly organised and did far more than the necessary "guiding job": for example getting up in the early hours to run before us to secure accomodation, providing a girl we met on the trek with equipment when her shoes became broken or recommending accomodation in Karthmandu. The daily parts of the trek were well organized with enough time for breaks and to accomodate to the altitude.
