Naya Kanga

Naya Kanga, also known as Ghanja La Chuli, is a mountain in Nepal.

Description

Naya Kanga is a glaciated summit in the Nepali Himalayas. It is situated north-northeast of Kathmandu above the Langtang Valley of Langtang National Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's north slope drains to the Trishuli River via Lānṭān Kholā, whereas the south slope drains to the Indravati River via Yāṅgri̇̄ Kholā. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,260 metres above the Langtang Valley in. This peak is on the list of permitted trekking peaks.

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Naya Kanga is located in a tundra climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Bay of Bengal are forced upwards by the Himalaya mountains, causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Mid-June through early-August is the monsoon season. The months of March, April, May, September, October, and November offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.
