Naya Kanga, also called Ganja-La Chuli,
is magnificently situated in the Langtang
region of Nepal. Its accessibility to Kathmandu makes it an ideal
choice of venue for a short visit to the Himalayas. The
normal route to this peak is via the snowy north-east
ridge. It is not yet clear who climbed this summit
first. The reward for climbing Naya Kanga
is the spectacular view of mountains in and bordering
Tibet. The view includes the peaks of the Jugal Himal as a Dome Blanc, Langshisa
Ri and Mt. Shisapangma 8035m in Tibet, the
last 8,000m peak in the World to be the climbed.
The technical
difficulty of the climb is rated at Alpine Grade PD+.
This is mainly a function of three things: the fact that
you are on significant snow slopes for most of the
journey above camp 1; some crevasses as you turn west
below the Ganja La; and finally the short ridge section
to the summit. The summit can be gained in two days from Kyanjin with one camp at Branchen or Nyengang Kharka, or
alternatively in three days with a second camp at Kangla
Phedi just below the Ganja La.
