Introduction to Yala Peak Climbing

Yala Peak Climbing is a trekking peak in the Langtang region of Nepal with an elevation of 5,520 meters. The Langtang region is close to the Tibet border and is also popular for the Helambu and Gosainkunda treks.

This peak is the smallest of all the trekking peaks in Nepal, which you can complete in just 10 days. Yala Peak Climbing is a popular adventure trip for mountain climbers in Nepal. This is an easy non-technical trekking peak compared to other trekking peaks in Nepal.

Yala Peak Climbing is so no prior climbing experience is required but previous outdoor experience and good fitness are recommended. It is suitable for travelers who want to trek as well as climb the peak.

You reach the base camp by walking through dense rhododendron forests and ancient ethnic settlements. The area is mainly inhabited by the Tamang ethnic group and during your stay in these villages you get a chance to learn about their religion, culture, traditions, and daily life.

Before reaching the base camp, you will rest at Kyanjing Gompa (3,800 m) as well as prepare for the ascent. On a rest day at Kyanjing Gompa, you can explore the Buddhist monastery and the Langshisa Glacier or climb Kyanjin Ri (4,350 m) for a more spectacular view of the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

View of Langtang Lirung, Lenpo Gang, Dorje Lakpa, Naya Khanga 

The base camp offers stunning mountain views of Langtang Lirung (7,246 m), Lenpo Gang (7,083 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,988 m), Naya Khanga (5846 m), and Shishapangma (8013 m) on the Tibetan side. Our Climbing Sherpa Guide will give you short basic training and brief instructions at the base camp before peak climbing.

There are tea houses and cozy lodges along the trekking route but tented camps should be arranged at the base camp. Yala Peak Climbing requires a climbing permit which can get from the NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association) office. The mountain weather changes abruptly and is not in your favor so do not ignore the fact that insurance is mandatory.

The best seasons for Yala peak climbing are spring (March-May) and autumn (September – November). However, the winter months are also good if you prepare well for the cold weather. As most tourists come in the spring and autumn seasons, the routes may be a bit more crowded, so some climbers come during the winter (December to February) to avoid crowds.

Frequently asked questions about this trip

How difficult is the trek?

The difficulty depends on where and how long you want to trek. The short trek is easy while the long trek requires some physical fitness.

What is altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness is normally known as acute mountain sickness. This can happen when people rapidly climb up to an altitude of more than 3000 meters. We ensure minimal risk by adding rest to our trekking itineraries. Most people will feel some effects of altitude, some shortness of breath and possibly light headache, this is normal enough. Acute mountain sickness patients are quite different and usually have a serious headache, sickness, and lose awareness. In almost all possible cases there are sufficient warning signs to take action properly. Descending to a lower altitude is usually enough to prevent any further problems.

What type of accommodation is available during the trekking?

There are mainly tea houses and lodges available for trekking and they are usually made using local materials and are very comfortable. These accommodations are often family-run and usually provide single and double rooms. The dining room is on the ground floor and is often on fire. All food will be cooked in order in the family kitchen. Toilet facilities are sometimes separate and sometimes outside. Most lodges provide mattresses and blankets. It's a good idea to always have a sleeping bag, which can be useful, and perhaps an inflatable pillow.

How long do we walk every day on trekking?

Trekking programs are classified into three different categories: soft, moderate and hard. Soft treks are only about 7 days to 10 days in duration. They generally do not go above 4000 meters; you can expect to walk about 4-5 hours each day. Moderate treks are challenging enough and long treks that go to the high hill country. Physically exhausting, this involves trekking along the cliffs of the mountains for about 6-8 hours. Harder treks are longer treks that go farther away from the general abode of trekkers and tourists. These physically challenging treks involve walking for 7- 9 hours each day.

How much weight do I need to carry on the trek?

You carry some of your personal belongings, such as warm clothing, water, snacks, sun block, cameras and more. Generally, these items will be lightweight, from 5 to 10kg (10 to 20 pounds). Our porters are available for other heavy goods and for your information one porter would be sharing by two people. The maximum weight carried by one porter is total 20 kg. this means 10 kg. per person is allowed for the trek. In case if you wish to carry more than this weight then you need to hire additional porters.

What is the best time for trekking in Nepal?

October and November are considered as the best times for trekking in Nepal due to dry season. December and January are also considered good times for trekking but it is extremely cold at high altitudes.
