| Itinerary: |
|
The trail systems to and from Naya Kanga are remote and we will be
spending most of our nights in tents. We will approach the
Langtang Valley following one of the GHT trails to Tilman's Pass.
The route out of the valley will follow the Ganja La pass trail after
our attempt on Naya Kanga.
In total the trip will entail about 145km over 24 days through some
of least travelled trekking routes and passes in Nepal.
We will climb Naya Kanga following the normal route, establishing
a base camp, high camp and then follow its northeast ridge on ice
and snow to the summit.

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
