Trip Introduction

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. It is one of Nepal’s most accessible peaks. It will be an excellent starting point for the first-time climber. The Manaslu Range, Langtang Range, Dorje Lakpa, Naya Kang, Ganesh Himal Range, Shishapangma, and Gangchempo will be visible.

The trail crosses through Langtang National Park, a beautiful landscape overflowing with majestic flora and fauna and yak pasture land. 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. You can learn about the fascinating cultures of the native Tamangs and Tibetans.

The 14-day trek begins with a seven- to eight-hour drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi. The path follows the Langtang River as it passes through the small settlements of Bamboo, Lama Hotel, and Langtang Village. You will hike from Langtang village to Kyanjing Gompa, where you will be able to see the breathtaking views. After that, you will hike to Kyanjing RI. From Kyanjing Gompa we will trek toward the Yala Peak Base Camp where we will have Pre-Climbing training. Finally, on the final day, we will summit Yala Peak and descend to Yala base camp. Finally, descend to Syabrubesi, the trek’s end.

Is this trek appropriate for you?

  • This trek includes 10 days of strenuous climbing. You’ll be trekking for a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 10 hours per day, reaching elevations of over 5000 meters at times. We cannot overestimate the importance of being in excellent physical shape and health, which requires training before your trip to ensure that you are properly prepared.
  • This is the trek for you if you have previous rock climbing or wall climbing experience. It is recommended that you have prior experience with high-altitude trekking.
  • The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, you must plan and prepare accordingly, as well as stay up to date on the weather forecast.
  • The teahouses, or trekking lodges, where we stay on the trek are very basic, with just basic services. Hot water may not be accessible at all times and may be charged extra, as well as access to electrical outlets for charging electronics. Wi-Fi is available in some areas, although the quality of the connection may be poor.
  • The path twists and turns through challenging terrain. At 5,500 meters, you’ll reach the highest peak. Because of the weather, isolation, and high altitude of this walk, it’s critical to take it carefully and stay hydrated.
