Yala Peak Climbing Overview
Looking for the perfect adventure in the mountains?
If you are planning to learn mountain climbing in Nepal, and don’t know where to start, you shall look no further than Yala Peak at 5,723 meters. Stopping at the Yala Base camp (4500 meters) for a day and then climbing to the summit gives you a true mountain climbing experience.
The terrace farms, subtropical forest of Rhododendrons, and alpine grassland of the high mountains complete your rejuvenating experience. Like all treks in the Langtang region, your Yala Peak climbing also commences with a drive from Kathmandu Valley to Dunche.
Wandering through the typical Tamang and Sherpa villages of Kathmandu’s north, we get from Lama Hotel to Langtang village. Trek to Kyangjing Gompa is the core of Yala peak climbing, a natural ad culturally peaceful experience. While most trekkers return from the Kyangjing Gompa, we keep on heading further north.
Strolling in a path full of colourful prayer flags, we walk close to the Himalayas of Nepal, heading for Yala Peak. We settle in Yala base camp for a night and conquer the peak on the second day. After the victory, we retract our route back to Kathmandu.

Yala Peak Climbing Difficulty And Fitness
The initial trail leading to the Yala Peak Base Camp at 4800m is not too difficult. This route has been used by trekkers to the Langtang valley for many years and remains one of the easiest trekking routes in Nepal. From the Yala base camp, the stunning Yala glacier and its tough rocky south face both keep us excited. The path then goes along the rock ridge and to the boulders.
The final 40m taking us to the summit is vertical and needs technical support. However, since the Himalayas master’s expert guide will be there to assist you, one can overcome every difficulty and get to the top quickly. If the trail has snow, it tends to be more difficult. To celebrate the victory at the top, we take a prayer flag and cherish the hard journey.
