Yala Peak Climbing  Overview

Yala Peak climbing is the perfect introductory climb for novice mountaineers. At 5,732m of height, the top of Yala Peak spreads out one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the Nepalese Himalayas. Yala Peak (5,732m), nestled in the heart of Lantang near the Tibetan border, is considered the easiest and most convenient route for people who want to climb a summit in a short period of time. Although necessary precautions and average physical fitness is required, this expedition doesn’t require the use of advanced equipment and intense physical training. But, you will still get to use some of your tools on this trip.

Yala Peak climbing with Langtang valley trek begins in Kathmandu with sightseeing of the valley’s UNESCO World Heritage sites and trek/summit preparation. The next morning, we drive to Syabrubesi and start our trek from there. The drive is scenic and exciting at the same time. Trekking through forests, small villages, chortens, mani walls, and Himalayan flora and fauna of the Langtang Valley which falls under the Langtang National Park, we reach the base camp of Yala peak. Before actually setting foot on the base camp, we can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the mountains from Kyanjin Gompa. We acclimatize at Kyanjin, so you have ample time to explore the scenic vantage point.

We begin the climb on the 8th day of the trek and summit on the ninth. Considered a trekking peak by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, Yala is a relatively easier and non-technical climb compared to other mountains in the Himalayas. Once at the top, you will get fantastic views of Langtang Lirung (7246m), LenpoGang(7083m), DorjeLakpa(6990m) and the mighty Shishapangma(8027m). We also have a spare day in case the bad weather doesn’t allow the summit. We then trek back to Lama Hotel and then drive back to Kathmandu.

The best time for Yala Peak Climbing are Spring ( March to May) and Autumn (September to late November). Most of the tourists come during these seasons, so the routes may be a bit crowded. Some may prefer to avoid the crowds and climb Yala Peak during the winter months (December to February) when the weather is crisp and cold and the views of the mountains are crystal clear.

Yala peak climbing is a trekking expedition that takes you to the top of one of the mountains in the Nepalese Himalayas. Adventure Club Trek and Expedition has a 15-day-long itinerary for this trip. However, if you are looking for longer and tougher climbing expeditions, we also offer Everest High passes Trek with Island peak Climbing- 23 Days, Island Peak with Everest Base camp Trek- 19 Days, and Mera Peak Climbing- 17 Days.

Our journey will officially begin on the third day, as we will travel to Syabrubesi on a local bus. The journey will start early in the morning so you might want to hit the hay early in the previous night. To reach Syabru Besi from Kathmandu, it will take 8 hours by bus. The long journey will seem short as you will be surrounded by beautiful green hills, terraced fields and a glimpse of Ganesh Himal along the road of Trishuli River. Once we reach the destination, we will show you to your rooms, and you can rest up for tomorrow or explore Syabru Besi.

    This is the day where our trekking officially begins. We will leave our guesthouse in Syabru Besi early in the morning, to walk the route along the Bhote Koshi River and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. We will pass Rimche Village and will make a quick stop at Bamboo Village for lunch. Bamboo Village is home to rare species of Red Pandas, and if we are lucky, we might get to see them and some bears and monkeys. We will walk for approximately 5 hours to reach Lama Hotel, our stop for the day. We will stay the night there and start our journey tomorrow at the earliest hour.

      We will rise early to start another day of walking. The day begins with us living Lama Hotel and making our way up to Langtang Village. The trails start to become a bit more demanding, but the picturesque view will compensate for the exhaustion along the way. We will pass through beautiful rhododendron and pine forest as fresh air fills the surrounding cooling our sweaty faces. We will reach Langtang village via GhodaTabela, and come across the yaks grazing at the grass. Our day will come to a halt once we reach Langtang village and reside there for the night.

        Compared to earlier days today is a bit easier and also shorter. We pass by many small villages and pastures getting closer to the mountains. We are accompanied by the view of Langtang Lirung on the left and Ganchempo in front of us throughout the trek. As we continue on the trail, we come across many small streams and moraines. Also, we pass by the famous Cheese Factory before reaching Kyanjin Gompa. After exploring the monastery, we head towards Kyanjin village where we spend the night.

          On the seventh day, we will rest at Kyanjin Gompa and roam around the place and take in what this beautiful land has to offer. We will visit various monasteries and glaciers, and experience the lifestyle firsthand. The village also has many cheese factories which are a must-visit place, because of their popularity around the nation. And if you are up for a mini-adventure, a short trip to Kyanjin Ri, behind the village is a marvelous idea, and from where you can view the most majestic sight of Langtang peaks Or, We can hike to LasishaKharka which will take around 5-6 hours and throughout our long walk we’ll be accompanied by mountains DorjeLakpa and ShishaPangma. Upon reaching our destination, we’ll see some stone settlements used by herders while grazing their livestock. Return to Kyanjin Gompa where we spend the night in a teahouse lodge.

            After a day of well rest, on the eight days, we will commence our trek to Yala Peak Base Camp. The trip has many magnificent scenes along the way. Following the trail along the glacier, you witness Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, TserkoRi, and Yala peaks in the background. The sight of the Himalayas will take your breath away. After a 5 hour hike to Yala peak base camp from Kyanjin Gompa, we will end the hike for the day.

              On the ninth day, we will begin our hike to Yala Peak, the one we were all waiting for. If the weather is on our side, we will hike without interruption, and start the journey with the climb towards the Pisang peak. From the top, enjoy views of Shishapangma, DorjeLakpa, Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, TserkoRi, Langtang Lirung with many other Tibetan and Nepalese mountains.

                The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so we have a contingency day is for such occasions, when trekking is not possible. You utilize the day by exploring the area or resting to restore energy for another day of walking. Accommodation as per the use of the spare day.

                  We again follow the trail to Lama Hotel, enjoying the amazing sights and people through Langtang Village with the breathtaking Himalayas behind us. Overnight in a teahouse lodge in Lama Hotel.

                    The next day we will make our way back to Syabru Besi from where we started our journey. We will pass the home of red pandas and follow the trail along the Bhote Koshi. Overnight in a hotel in SyabruBesi.

                      The next day we will drive back to Kathmandu leaving the Himalayas behind us. After a tiring 6-7 hour-long journey we reach Kathmandu. You can either rest or choose to explore Kathmandu.

                        Today is an extra day separated just in case of any delays due to bad weather in Lukla. If everything goes as planned it is used as a leisure day in Kathmandu. You spend the day roaming around the capital city shopping for souvenirs or just relaxing. If you require guides we will be happy to give our services In the evening farewell dinner is hosted by the company.

                          Adventure Club Trek will manage a farewell drive to the international airport for your final flight departure.
