Introduction

Yala Peak Climbing is an ideal location for admiring the stunning Himalayan ranges blanketed in snow on the horizon, as well as experiencing the excitement of reaching the pinnacle of Nepal's Himalayas.The summit climbing also provides spectacular views of Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, Naya Kanga Peak, Ganchenpo, and Shishapangma, among other mountains. From Kathmandu, we drive to Syabrubesi and then hike up the valley for 5 days to reach the Yala peak base camp. Langtang Lirung is located below Kyanjin Gompa (7246m). This spot acts as an acclimatization site, and we took a three-day hike in the area to get used to the weatherWe explore the Langshisha glacier and set up a high camp at 4800 meters along the way. Before rising to the summit, we'll stop at this high camp for a respite.
