NAYA KHANG PEAK CLIMBING
NAYA KHANG PEAK CLIMBING
This trek has everything you would wish to see in the Himalayan Mountains. Soaring snow-capped peaks, monasteries and high altitude passes are just a sample of what is on offer in this adventure in the Langtang district of Nepal. The highlight of this climbing adventure is reaching the summit of Naya Khang Peak (5846m), also identified as Ganja La Chuli Peak. This region is also home to numerous Tamang Tibetan villages and has a profusion of flora and fauna unique to Nepal. This is a less-trekked to a destination that guarantees greater solitude and peace. Naya Khang (5846m) lies to the east of Kyanjin Gompa (3850m) and to the west of Ganja La Pass (5110m).
On the trail you will see several enormous snow covered peaks: Yala (5,500m), Pemthang Ri (6836m), Dorje Lakpa (6966m), Langshisha Ri (6370m), Langtang Lirung (7425 m), Shishapangma (8064m) and the Jugal Himal Ranges situated right on the Tibetan border.
Along the trail you will pass through rhododendron, bamboo and oak forests, trek along the Langtang Khola (river), through Ghoda Tabela (2950m) a grazing area for horses in Langtang and past the famous Kyanjin Gompa (monastery). The trail begins at Syabrubesi Village where we follow the trail along the banks of the Langtang Khola (river) until we reach Kyanjin Village. We slowly adjust to the higher altitudes – helping the acclimatization process. Along the way you will pass many colorful Tibetan prayer flags, chortens and observe proof of a rich Buddhist history in the region. There are waterfalls, glaciers, serene valleys with yaks & goats grazing, and if we are lucky we will spot a red panda or even the most elusive Snow Leopard.
The trek is strenuous and requires a reasonable level of fitness, but with the right preparation – and attitude, it is possible to successfully complete this trek.
Sherpa Expedition Teams, with over 40 years of trekking, have a great reputation in the trekking and climbing industry and guarantee to put your safety and wellbeing first. All permits, meals and accommodation will be taken care of.
ITINERARY
Day 1 : Arrive at Kathmandu (1345m) and transfer to hotel.
Sherpa Expedition & Trekking staff will be there to greet you at Tribhuvan International Airport and take you to your hotel, followed by a briefing covering information, dos, and don’ts of your trek. Your safety and comfort are paramount.
Day 2 : Drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubensi (1,400m) Duration: 7-8 hours.
Leaving Kathmandu we set off on a seven-hour journey by road heading to the Langtang Valley. As the road climbs out of Kathmandu Valley we will be afforded views of the Annapurna Mountains in the west and directly ahead to Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and the numerous peaks in the Langtang region. We first come to Trishuli Village and then continue climbing until we reach Dhunche and enter the Langtang National Park. After leaving Dhunche we drive for another hour downhill until we reach Syabru Besi where we stay the night.
Day 3 : Trek from Syabru Besi to Lama Hotel (2470m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Leaving Kathmandu we set off on a seven-hour journey by road heading to the Langtang Valley. As the road climbs out of Kathmandu Valley we will be afforded views of the Annapurna Mountains in the west and directly ahead to Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and the numerous peaks in the Langtang region. We first come to Trishuli Village and then continue climbing until we reach Dhunche and enter the Langtang National Park. After leaving Dhunche we drive for another hour downhill until we reach Syabru Besi where we stay the night.
Day 4 : Trek from Lama Hotel to Langtang Village (3430m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Today the trail takes us toward Ghode Tabala from where we will have our first views of the enormous mountain Langtang Lirung (7227m). The trail takes us through a Rhododendron forest – more spectacular during spring when it is in full pink bloom. There is also a national park office here. Today’s trek will take between four to five hours before reaching Langtang Village (3450m) where we will stay the night.
Day 5 : Trek from Langtang village to Kyanjin Gompa (3800m) Duration: 3-4 hours.
The trail today of about five to six hours takes us across the Bhote Kosi (meaning Tibet River) which flows from Tibet. The trail then climbs through sub-tropical forest and then joins the trail coming from Syabru Besi, and then ascends through oak and rhododendron forests. On the trail it is very likely we will encounter Langur monkeys in the tree tops. The trail continues up a steep incline before reaching the Lama Hotel where we stay the night.
Day 6 : Acclimatization & rest day at Kyanjin Gompa (3800m).
This is essentially a rest day that will give you time to acclimatize before heading to higher altitudes. Health professionals recommend staying active, so today we will trek to Cherko RI (4984m) and admire the amazing views from the peak. It will take about 5 to 6 hours to complete the journey there and back. This is considered one of the best places to view the surrounding mountains of the Langtang region. Tonight we will stay at Kyanjin Gompa.
Day 7 : Trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Nyengang Kharka (4430m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Today we head to higher altitudes and will spend about five to six hours until we arrive at Nyengang Kharka where we will stay the night.
Day 8 : Trek Naya Kang High Camp (4960m) duration: 4-5 hours.
Again we set out to higher altitudes which further prepares us and assists in climbing to Naya Kharka Peak. We will stay at high camp overnight.
Day 9 : Climb from High Camp to summit of Naya Kang Peak (5844m) & return to Nyengang Kharka; 9-10 hours.
We have a hard day ahead of us today of about eight to nine hours ascending to the peak. Ideally we should reach the peak around lunchtime and be blessed with panoramic views of Shishapangma, Dorje Lakpa, Gangchempo, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri and Langtang Lirung. This is a marvelous photo opportunity and after some time to rest we will head down to base camp and on to Nyengang Kharka for the night.
Day 10 : Extra day in case of bad weather and health related problems.
We have set aside an extra day in the event that the weather is not suitable for climbing.
Day 11 : Trek Nyengang Kharka to Kyanjin Gompa (3800m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Today we descend for five to six hours back to Kyanjin Gompa where we will stay overnight.
Day 12 : Trek from Kyanjin Gompa to Lama Hotel (2470m) duration: 5-6 hours.
As we descend we will follow the Langtang Khola, first reaching Langtang Village and on then Ghora Tabela where we may stop for a lunch break. A five to six hour trek to lower altitudes will see us back at Lama Hotel for an overnight stay.
Day 13 : Trek from Lama Hotel to Syabrubesi (23800m) via Sherpa Gaon; duration: 5-6 hours.
A five to six-hour trek follows a steep trail through birch and bamboo forests, and along the banks of Langtang River as we follow the valley to the mostly Tamang village of Syabrubesi where we stay overnight.
Day 14 : Drive from Syabru Besi to Kathmandu (1338m) duration: 6-7 hours.
An early start to the day has us heading back to Kathmandu following the pretty Trishuli River Valley and with great views over fields and lush forest, along with some farewell views of the mountains.
Day 15 : International departure from Kathmandu Airport.
