Overview
Naya Kanga sits in the Langtang region north of Kathmandu and is one of Nepal’s most approachable climbing peaks. The 15-day trip starts with an eight-hour drive to Syabrubesi, then follows the Langtang River through rhododendron and oak forest to Lama Hotel, Langtang Village and Kyanjin Gompa (3,798m), with an acclimatisation day and a hike up Tsergo Ri. From base camp and high camp (5,000m), the summit is reached via the north-east ridge over snow and ice — non-technical, but demanding on stamina, so some prior peak experience helps. The reward is a panorama of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh I, Dorje Lhakpa, Langsisa Ri and Yubra, plus views into Tibet. Best seasons are March–May and September–November, with a roughly 90% summit success rate.
