Yala Peak Climb

Following breakfast the following morning, you will go for a full-day sightseeing trip of the Kathmandu Valley. You may see Swyambhunath, a very old temple that is essentially classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the revered Pashupatinath Temple.

Highlights of our guided trip include the largest Buddhist stupa at Boudhanath and the exquisite artwork and old architecture of Kathmandu Durbar Square, which showcase the ancient culture of Nepal.

Patan City’s historic architecture and renowned fine arts will charm you on a visit. You will have time to explore the neighborhood, eat supper, and maybe take a leisurely stroll down the well-known streets when you get back to your hotel. A traditional Nepalese dinner at the Nepali Cultural Restaurant rounds off the day.

To avoid traffic, we will leave early in the morning for Syabrubesi. We will drive through breathtaking scenery of green lush hills, occasional views of snow-covered mountains, and some of Nepal’s fastest moving rivers. Syabrubesi is the beginning point for the majority of treks and expeditions in the Langtang region, allowing you to prepare for the trek and purchase any necessary trekking equipment. Overnight in Syabrubesi.

Walking alongside the Langtang River, we will gradually ascend to the Lama Hotel. We will pass through small, picturesque Tamang villages with magnificent stone cottages and receive our first glimpse of the Himalayas. The occasional prayer flag billowing against the wind on the village’s backdrop look lovely and provide excellent photographic opportunity. Overnight at Lama Hotel.

This region is known for its abundant flora and fauna, and as we travel to Langtang hamlet, we will see plenty of beauty. We will travel through Gumanechowk and Ghodatabela before arriving in Langtang village. We will pass through several small waterfalls and streams, as well as lush meadows, before arriving at Langtang hamlet, from which we will have a view of the Langtang Range. Overnight in Langtang Village.

The Kyanjin Gompa, which holds enormous significance for the locals of this area, appears stunning against the backdrop of grey and white. The Buddhist influence is so strong that we observe several prayer flags fluttering against the prayer wheel and miniature prayer houses that people have created. The settlement offers views of Langtang Lirung (7227m) and Langtang II (6596m). Overnight at Kyanjin Gompa.

Today’s acclimatization hike will take us up to Tserko Ri (4984m). The daybreak from Tserko Ri is magnificent as it passes through numerous fields with yaks grazing. From a height of 4984m, it provides a spectacular view of the valley below as well as a panoramic vista of Langtang (7,227m), Yala (5,500m), Shishapangma (8,013), and Dorje Lakpa (6,966m). It is an excellent time to shoot some stunning photographs before returning to Kyanjin Gompa. Overnight at Kyanjin Gompa.

We walk down a rocky glacier track to reach Yala Base Camp. From the base camp, we have stunning views of Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri, and Yala Peak. After arriving at the base camp, our climbing guides will provide a basic training on climbing techniques, including how to handle climbing equipment such as ropes, ice picks, harnesses, and crampons. Overnight at Yala Peak Base Camp.

We begin our ascent of Yala Peak early in the morning. The summit offers panoramic views of the tremendous Himalayas, including Shishapangma, Dorje Lakpa, Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri, Langtang Lirung, and others. After spending some time at the summit, we return to base camp. Overnight at Yala Base Camp.

We go on familiar paths for around 4-5 hours before reaching Thulo Barkhu. This is our final stretch of walking because we will board a private vehicle and return to the buzz and activity of Kathmandu valley. Once in Kathmandu, you can purchase for gifts and souvenirs.
