Overview of Yala Peak Climbing
Yala Peak Climbing is one of Nepal's easier trekking peaks in Langtang National Park, easy trekking peak is just to the north of Kathmandu in the beautiful Langtang Valley region; this 5500 meters peak does not require mountaineering experience.
Climbing Yala Peak (5732m) and trekking through Langtang is one of the easiest, most romantic, wonderful, and courageous peak climbing treks in Nepal.
However, in fewer places, we have to use our hands, where axes are useful but not necessary. Yala peak climbing offers superb Himalayan views of several snowy mountains belonging to Nepal and Tibet, like Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, Naya Kanga Peak, Ganchenpo, Shishapangma, etc.
From the top of the peak, we will have panoramic views of Langtang Lirung (7246m), Lanpo Gang (7083m), Dorje Lakpa (6990m), and mighty Shishapangma (8027m).

Yala Peak Climbing Trip Information
Yala Peak Climbing Route
From Kathmandu, we drive to Syabru Besi; then we follow the hiking route of Lang Tang Valley to Kyanjing Gompa inside Langtang National Park. Kyanjing Gompa is located beneath Langtang Lirung (7246 m), and we devote three days to acclimatizing, taking day hikes in outstanding atmospheres.
We institute base camp on a paddock at 4800 m and climb Yala Peak the next day. The last 400 m climb is on ice so we will be using crampons, an ice ax, and rope. From the peak, we can see Shishapangma (8046 m) and the fluted Ganchenpo (6388 m). After the climb, we return to Dhunche past Syabrubesi and drive to Kathmandu.
This category of 5500m-6500m trekking peaks are the best training peaks for 6500m-7500m peaks or above 8000m Peak Climbing in Nepal.
