Yala Peak Climbing (5732m) is one of the easier and non-technical trekking peaks in Nepal, Situated in the Langtang Region, north of Kathmandu. Prior climbing experience is not required though, previous outdoor experience and the average level of fitness are recommended. Yala Peak is a moderate trekking peak in the Langtang region which is a fantastic beginner’s mountaineering trip.
We start in Syabrubesi after a 7 to 8-hour drive from Kathmandu and we flow the trekking route of Langtang valley till Kyanjin Gompa (3800m). Kyanjin Gompa is the last village in this valley which is situated below Langtang Lirung (7246m). We take rest in Kyangjin Gompa and walk up to Lirung Glacier and Kyangjin-Ri (4700m). From Kyangjin Gompa you will pass through the old small airport then you turn to the north small gorges to Yala Peak Base Camp (4800m) and next day climb to Yala Peak (5732m). From the summit offer you spectacular views of Langtang Lirung, Langsisha, Gangchepo, Dorje Lakpa and Naya Kanga.
The best time to climb the Yala peak is the Autumn and Spring season. These seasons have the very picture-perfect climate for Island peak climbing. The climate is steady with clear visibility of the views. This climbing is possible during the Winter and Monsoon time as well.
Guest house/tented accommodation according to given itinerary (sharing in a 2-bed room) and 3 meals (Breakfast, lunch, Dinner) during the trek and 2-night tented camp during the peak climbing, Hot Shower, and standard clean room with attached bathroom, Free Wi-Fi, Battery charge available on the trek.
The main culture you can see and experience during your trek and climbing is Gurung, Tamang, and Magar.
Altitude sickness (also known as acute mountain sickness) is an unfavorable health condition that strikes our body when we are at a high altitude (above 2500m (about 1.55 mi). If any symptoms are seen during the trek, firstly we will have a primary treatment to cure the sickness. First, we will walk down to a minimum of 150m (about 492.13 ft) from the location where the symptoms are seen, and walk down again if the symptoms are not improved.
If the victim is unable to walk down on his/her own, we can hire a horse, or we can request our porter to carry the person. Warm water and ginger juice are also served to cure sickness. If these treatments are unable to cure the patient, rescue can be done by helicopter.
