Yala Peak (5732m.)

Nepal Peak climbing ยป Yala Peak Climbing

Yala Peak is one of Nepal's easier trekking peaks, just to the north of Kathmandu in the beautiful Langtang valley region, this 5500 meters peak does not require mountaineering experience. From Katmandu we drive to Dhunche or Syabru Bensi, then trek up the valley for three days. We explore the Langshisa glacier to help us acclimatise, establishing a high camp at 4800 meters from where we make our summit bid. After an alpine start under stars we are on the summit by late morning, with some amazing views views into Tibet and across to Shisapangma (the only 8000 meters peak situated wholly in Tibet).
