Mt. Nay Kanga (Ganja La Chuli) Expedition

Overview

Climbing peak Naya Kanga in Nepal was formerly known as Ganja La Chuli which is part of the Langtang Himal. The normal route of ascent is via the North East Ridge. It is not conclusive who made the first ascent but several romantics would like to credit H W Tilman with the feat. One of the rewards of reaching the summit of Naya Kanga is the superb views of peaks close to or in Tibet. The stunning panorama looking North East over peaks in the Jugal Himal includes Lanshisa Ri (6370m), Pemthang Ri (6836m) and Pemthang Karpo Ri (6830m), to Shishapangma (8046m) which is the highest peak in the Chinese Territory and the last of the 8000m summits to be climbed.

Expeditions and Climbing Peaks

All our expeditions and climbing peaks are supported by satellite phone, two way radio, support oxygen (when required) and comprehensive first aid medical kit. We only use top quality expedition tents.

High Altitude Warning

Safety is a major consideration during all our expeditions however there are dangers involved in climbing 6000m, 7000m and 8000m peaks that cannot be avoided. The extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards ensure high altitude climbing has unavoidable risks at the best of times, members of our expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an integral part of high altitude mountaineering.
