Yala Peak (5,732 m) is one of Nepal’s easier trekking peaks. Yala is a perfect peak accessible to a trekker without any climbing experience, who wants to do trekking and peak climbing at the same time in the Langtang region. From the summit of Yala Peak, the Langtang Himal as well as Shishapangma, just 20km from Yala Peak can be seen on a clear day.
It takes 9hrs to drive from Kathmandu to the trailhead at Syabhrubesi and then the trek begins through agricultural farmland, villages, and forest of Rhododendron, conifer, bamboos, oaks, and pines. During the spring the forest looks enchanting with flowers all around. The trail further follows the narrow gorge of Langtang River till it ends at the large alpine grassland of Kyanjin Gumba (3,800 m) where the glacier meets the meadow. You can see Yaks grazing in the meadow with the backdrops of snowy peaks of Langtang Ri, Langtang Lirung (7,227 m), Dorjee Lhakpa (6,966 m), and many other unnamed mountains around you. This peak climbing trip enables you to explore the Langtang National Park, the home of Tibetan-looking people-the Nupripas and Tamangs.
After acclimatizing in Kyanjin Gumba and exploring the glacier, you hike to the Base Camp (4,800 m) located at the base of the Yala Peak summit. The summit climb requires only 700 m. of elevation gain consisting of a nontechnical scramble with no objective danger. After trekking for 6 days you will have solid acclimatization for the safe climb to the elevation of 5,500 m.
