Yala Peak, a climbing peak is a part of Langtang Region located at the central part of Nepal particularly at northern part of Kathmandu. Yela peak climbing is easy, non-technical, suited for anyone with trekking experience, but at fewer place we have to use our hands, where axes are useful but not obligatory. This peak is very close to Tibetan border; in fact, the one of the border mountain is right next to it (connected by a ridge).
You can see amazing view of Shishapangma (8,046 m) and Gangchempo (6,388 m) from the summit of Yela. Usually climbed in 2 days from Kyanjin Gompa (3900m), camping at Yala Kharka (4600m). It's also possible to do it in one day, without camping, but it's a long day with a pre-dawn start. The view from top includes Shishapangma, the only eight-thousander completely in Tibet.
Starting from Syabrubesi after a 5 hour drive from Kathmandu, we spend five days hiking up the beautiful Langtang valley to Kyanjin Gompa at 3,800 m. Kyanjin Gompa is situated below Langtang Lirung (7,246m) and we spend three days acclimatizing taking day-hikes in spectacular surroundings. We establish base camp on a meadow at 4,800 m and climb Yala Peak the next day. The last 4000 m is on ice so we will be using crampons, ice axe and rope. After the climb we return to Syabrubesi and drive back to Kathmandu.
