Yala Peak Climbing

Yala Peak is a mountain located in the Langtang region of Nepal. It is located 30 km away north of Kathmandu, near the Tibetan border. It is located at a height of 5,500m/18,046ft.

There are various plant and animal species to see, including the Larix Himalaica and the Red Panda. It has a diverse range of vegetation. The wide-ranging trek introduces you to Tamang and Sherpa Buddhist culture, and the ancient monastery of Kyanjin Gompa, located near Tserko, maintains this tradition.
