Trip Overview
Yala peak is a part of the Langtang Himal which lies just to the north of Kathmandu in the Langtang region. The base camp of Yala Peak is Kyangjin Gompa (3749m/12300 ft). Yala Peak, considered one of Nepal’s easier trekking peaks, which is a fantastic mountaineering trip for beginner. This beautiful peak affords surprising views of Shishapang 8012 m, which is the only solo mountain in Tibet with a height above 8000 m.
Yala Peak climb is easy and suited for anyone with trekking experience. We start in Syabrubesi after a 5-hour drive from Kathmandu and spend five days hiking up the beautiful Langtang valley to Kyanjin Gompa at 3800 m. Kyanjin Gompa is situated below Langtang Lirung (7246 m) and we spend three days acclimatizing by taking day-hikes in the spectacular surroundings. The last 400 m is on ice so we will be using crampons, ice axe and rope.
Trip Itinerary
- Upon arrival at Tribhuwan Intl Airport in Kathmandu, a representative from Vista Trek waiting, well in time, to receive you, shall welcome you to this land of the towering Himalayas. Once reaching your hotel in a car from the airport, all you need to do is check in and enjoy the refreshment served.
- We then visit the Vista Trek office for discussion on trekking, introduction to the guide and porter and settlement of dues if any. Since you often still have some time left for a walk around Thamel, you can do so if you please.
- We head off to Syaprubeshi on a local deluxe bus early morning. This almost 6-7-hour journey starts out of Kathmandu through a beautiful hilly forest area on PasangLhamu Highway to the North-West.
- Stopping for breakfast and lunch on the way, the ride comes to its end once we reach Syaprubeshi. With the Botekoshi River flowing from the North-West to the South-East, the settlement sits on the confluence of Bhotekoshi River and Langtang River and now has spread on all three open spaces. The place is increasingly becoming a tourist as well as an economic hub in the area. We spend our night here.
- After breakfast, we walk for around three hours to Bamboo. The route first crosses BhoteKoshi, then almost immediately LangtangKhola. Along the banks of the latter, the relatively flat trail with short uphills at places reaches Bamboo, with a few teahouses next to the River.
- After lunch, the way up to Rimché is mostly an exhausting uphill all the way. Rimché, with two guest houses, is our stopover for the night and also offers a view of the Ganesh HImal.
- After breakfast, we walk for nearly three and a half hours to GhodaTabela for lunch. The first ten minutesbrings us to Lama Hotel. From here on, it's mostly a gradual uphill with some steep climbs. When walking through this part of the trail, what should attract many is the change in vegetation as we walk towards the destination. With the Langtang River flowing just a minute or two to the right all the way, we start the walk through a Subtropical forest that changes to Temperate to Sub-alpine and then to bushes with sporadic trees, indicating that the tree line in this part of the Himalayas is not very far. GhodaTabela, with two teahouses, is where we stop for lunch.
- After lunch, we start our trek up a gradual uphill, with the whole Langtang Range including LangtangHimal and LangtangLirung, the highest in the Range standing tall at 7,245 metres, to the front-left, the Naya Kang Peak to the front-right, GosaikundaHimal to the right, LangtangHimal to the left, towards the mouth of the LangtangKhola. Chyamki, with three guest houses operating currently, is our stopover for the night.
- Our walk to KenjinGompa, after breakfast, is on a gradual uphill that continues till the end and with the direction of the LangtangKhola gradually moving from the front-left to the back-left. KyanjinGompa, a village in the valley surrounded by the soaring Himalayas, is a place where LangtangKhola, with its origins from the Langtang Glacier, flows from its two sides. This village, with around twenty households, is where we stop for our lunch, dinner and the night. The remaining time today can be spent exploring the valley.
- After an early breakfast, we pack our lunch and head off to Tsergori. Up a steep uphill for almost five hours, the tired legs, now that they can rest for the next half an hour, don't seem to mind the excitement the eyes receive once atop the vantage point. On display, the 360 degree view, after all, has Yala Peak, Morimoto Peak, Kyunggari as well as Mt SishaPangba in Tibet to the North, Mt Ganchenpo, Mt Urkinmang and Mt DorjeLakpa to the East, PangenDopku Peak and Naya Kang Peak to the South and LangtangLirung, Mt Kinshung and Mt Yubra as well as Langtang Glacier and KyanjinGompa Village to the West.
- After spending some time, we walk back downhill to KyanjinGompa for the night.
- We take an early breakfast, we start our trip to Yala base camp. It will be considerable easy walk for about couple of hours and then gradual climb to Yala Base Camp.
- After arriving in the basecamp, we set up or tent for overnight and make some training for next day climbing to Yala Peak.The views are still amazing as Mt. Gyanchenpo appearing even closer than we had from Kyanjin Gompla.
- Spend the night in Yala Base camp in tent.
- This is our most challening day of our trip. We start around 3/ 4 o''clock early in the morning taking hot tea or soup , It will be all the way steep climbing to the top. Our aim is to reach make summit before sunrise. Climbing trail is mostly covered by the snow but no problem with crampons. We have to set up ropes for few hundred meters on the way which also involves ruck climbing but relatively easy for the experience climber.
- Once we make the top of Yala Peak, we have 360 degree view along with many mountains from Tibet side including 8000 meter high Mt. Shisapangma.
- After capturing our moment at the top of Yala Peak, we then descend all the way down to Yala base camp and same day walk all the way down to kayngin Gompa for overnight Stay .
- After breakfast, we retrace our steps back, downhill mostly this time around, for roughly four hours to GodaTabela for lunch.
- We continue our walk after lunch. After another two hours, we come to Rimche for the night.
- After breakfast, we start our walk to Sherpa Gaon. Around half an hour before Sherpa Gaon, the narrow trail, carved along a hillside, asks for exercising caution. To the right is the slopes of the same hill with the hilltop not visible. The left, however, is not as safe. Drawn by this inviting grassy slope- green, yellow or brown, the wish to walk on and off the trail would be unwise since skillfully disguising the danger of a slip that could land anyone directly in Langtang River roughly 700 metres below is a real possibility.
- With Mt Manaslu and Ganesh Himal to the South East and some peaks in Tibet to the North-East, we have our lunch in Sherpa Gaon.
- After leaving Sherpa Gaon, we reach Syphrubeshi on a steep downhill in the next two hours or so. We spend the night here.
- We head off to Kathmandu on a local deluxe bus early morning. This almost seven-hour journey comes to its stop in Kathmandu with guaranteed two stops for breakfast and lunch.
- Back in Kathmandu, and only your WILL shall dictate your involvement or indulgence as you may please since our arrival is in the afternoon. In the evening, however, please allow us the pleasure of your company during the fare-well dinner organized by Vista Trek.
