Extension of Langtang Valley Trek, Yala Peak Climbing holds all the fun and adventure of walking through tropical forest to an easy alpine trail. An additional reward is the culture of Tibetan Tamangs living in the region for centuries.
If you are willing to make your trekking a bit more challenging, we have an option- Yala Peak. Yala Peak 5732m is the easiest climbing peak in Nepal. Lying north of Kathmandu, Yala Peak is the most popular climbing peak in Langtang Region. So, trekkers who are fit enough to trek to Kyangjin Gompa and hike to Tesrgo Ri 4900m can easily undertake the challenge of climbing Yala Peak.
Trekking to Yala Peak begins at Syabrubenshi- the famous starting point for most of the treks to Langtang Region, which is almost an hour’s drive from the capital. After five days of trek through the beautiful lush vegetation of Langtang National Park occasionally emerging into the authentic Tibetan Tamang villages we arrive at the sacred highland monastery Kyangjin Gompa 3800m. Kyangjin Gompa is a wonderful place- surrounded by mountains in all directions; we get to see 360 views of the Himalayan peaks dominated by Langtang Lirung 7246m.
For proper acclimatization, we will have a day hike to Tsergo Ri 4900m and the following day we set out to conquer Yala Peak. Before the day we summit Yala Peak we get high up to the meadow at 4800m and fix our camps there. As the day to the summit comes, first we climb along the easy trail but the final 700m of the climb through the snowy path demands crampons, ice axes, and even ropes at some point. The summit of Yala caters to beautiful views of Mt. Shishapangma (8046 m) and Mt. Gangchempo (6388m). After the successful summit, we retrace the trail back to Syabrubenshi.
