Trip Introduction of 12 Days Yala Peak Climbing

Just to the north of Kathmandu in the Langtang National Park lies the 5500m Yala Peak nestled in a picturesque valley with rich grazing grasslands of the Tamang people. The Langtang Himal range, which is situated in the center of Nepal, includes Yala Peak. Yala Peak’s base camp is Kyangjin Gompa, which is 3749 meters (12,300 feet) high.

Yala Peak, one of Nepal’s more accessible trekking peaks, is an excellent first mountaineering destination. Anyone with prior trekking expertise can easily complete the easy hike. We start in Syabrubesi after a 5 hour drive from Kathmandu and spend five days climbing up the picturesque Langtang Valley to Kyanjin Gompa at 3800m. Kyanjin Gompa is situated below Langtang Lirung (7246m) and we spend three days acclimatizing enjoying day-hikes in stunning settings. The following day, we ascend Yala Peak after setting up base camp on a meadow at 4800m. We begin our ascent under the stars and reach the summit by late morning, where we can enjoy a breathtaking view of Tibet and Shisapangma, the country’s only 8,000-meter peak. We will use crampons, an ice axe, and rope because the final 400 meters are on ice. Following the ascent, we travel back to Dhunche via Syabrubesi before continuing on to Kathmandu.
