Today is the hardest day of this trek, as we have to cross the Ganjala Pass, which is 5130m above sea level. And where we have to make a trail because there is no proper trail like in previous days. Today we walked only on the huge rock boulders, moraines, and some snowy and icy paths. So we wake up early in the morning, and after breakfast we will move slowly to the Ganjala pass, the trek going harder, and after a couple hours later we will be on the pass, and from there you can see the beautiful Langtang valley and an amazing view of the mountain range, and Mt. Dorje Lakpa and 8000m Sishapangma all the way to Tibet are just standing in front of our sight. After clicking some pictures, we moved down towards Basecamp.
