Yala is a “trekking peak” in the Langtang Region of Nepal. It is classified as an easy trekking peak according to the Alpine Grading system. The summit gives surprisingly good views of Shishapangma (8027m), Langtang Lirung (7246m) and Dorje Lakpa (6990m) if you are lucky enough with the weather. The route involves a base camp at the end of the trail and a high camp a further half-day trek beyond the base. The climb to Yala peak is non-technical. Prior climbing experience is not required, however some outdoor experience and an average level of physical fitness is a must.

Trip Notes
This trekking route has been chosen with attention to preventing AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) through adequate time for acclimatization via a gradual ascent. This trek is considered moderate difficulty, involving 4 – 6 hours of walking daily across varying grades. Autumn (mid Sep – mid Dec) and Spring (Mar – May) are the best seasons to trek in the Langtang Valley, with clear, sunny days and the best visibility. The Winter months (late Dec – Feb) can also be enjoyable, though the cold can be discouraging to some. The summer monsoon (Jun – Aug) will bring plenty of rain, though flora will be exceptionally lush.
