Yala Peak Climbing 11 Days

At 5,500m, Yala peak is a popular trek and climb in Nepal’s Langtang region. Considered an easier peak, Yala Peak Climbing is suited for anyone with trekking experience and who enjoys good physical fitness. Your Yala peak adventure starts in the Langtang valley north of Kathmandu and offers wonderful Himalayan views including Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, Naya Kanga, Gangchempo, Shishapangma.

After a 5 hour drive from Kathmandu, we start our trek in the traditional village of Syabrubesi, spending 3 days hiking up the beautiful Langtang valley to Kyanjin Gompa ( 3,800 m). Kyanjin Gompa is situated below Langtang Lirung (7,242 m). After 2 days acclimatizing, and taking day-hikes in spectacular surroundings, we establish a base camp in a meadow at 4,800m and climb Yala peak the next day. The last 400m is on ice and we will be using crampons, ice ax, and rope. From the summit, we can see Shishapangma (8,046 m) and the fluted Gangchempo (6,388 m). After summiting Yala peak, enjoy further trekking, either direct to Syabrubesi or via Gosainkund Pass to Helambu
