Trip Overview

Embark on an extraordinary adventure with Taktok Brothers as we present the Yala Peak Climbing expedition, seamlessly integrated with the captivating Langtang Valley trek in the northern expanse of Kathmandu. This expedition offers both picturesque landscapes and thrilling climbing experiences.

Yala Peak, nestled in the Langtang region, unfolds stunning vistas of the Manaslu range, Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Naya Kang, Ganesh Himal range, Shishapangma, and Gangchempo (6388m). Positioned in close proximity to the Tibetan border, Yala Peak boasts a journey along the ridge of lofty mountains.

Traversing the Langtang National Park, renowned for its natural beauty and diverse fauna including the elusive Snow Leopard and Red Pandas, the expedition promises a rich tapestry of experiences. The route is adorned with blooming rhododendrons, adding vibrant hues to the landscape.

To acclimate to the high-altitude conditions, climbers typically visit the Kyanjin Monastery (3900m), a revered Buddhist pilgrimage site. The surrounding high-altitude terrain offers a rewarding hike, preparing climbers for the challenges ahead. Yala Kharka (4600m), the campsite nestled in a Yak grazing meadow, serves as a crucial point for acclimatization.

Our experienced Yala Peak climbing guides provide insights into the technical aspects of the climb and offer guidance on the utilization of climbing gears. Immerse yourself in the unique blend of adventure and natural beauty that defines the Yala Peak Climbing expedition with Taktok Brothers.
